Totally Rockin Make Your Own Newspaper Thing
TweetSure, that title isn’t the greatest, but it’s how I describe a site I just discovered because Gabriella (@seocopy) mentioned it on Twitter. Paper.li a site in which you simply give it a twitter name (yours is a good start) or a twitter list or a #tag, and it will create a newspaper page that’s updated every 24 hours based on whatever you entered. For example, I entered my own Twitter name @DonnaFontenot, and it created an awesome – let me repeat that – AWESOME newspaper for me that included highlights of all the LINKS that people pointed to from my own Twitter stream.
Donna Fontenot’s Personalized Newspaper
Below is a screenshot of the upper part of the newspaper, but there’s TONS more awesome stuff in it.
This enables me to see interesting things from the people I’ve chosen to follow. Sure, Twitter allows me to see that, right? But Twitter streams flash by and I miss much of what floats down that stream. My personalized newspaper allows me to see what I missed, which is very cool. Even cooler is that it’s all organized in an incredibly smart way, and it includes thumbnails to help visualize what’s there.
This perfectly fits ME. It uses my own curated list to create the perfect personalized information for me. I’m blown away.

This is cool, just created one too! Shame it cannot be configured, but it does seem better than twitter in that you see more of what others are saying without digging into their own profiles.
Would be interesting to know more about how the featured posts are chosen.
I have one problem, there is some audio on mine that automatically comes on, cannot work out what is causing it!
No idea about the audio, but yeah, I’d like to know how things are chosen too – mainly out of curiosity. But I like it alot. Cooler than anything I’ve seen yet in this genre.
I found the audio! In the Youtube section one of the videos started automatically, but it was off the page – had to scroll to find it. Very cheeky. Must remember that trick when I start creating my YouTube sales videos….

OOOh, sneaky sneaky. Glad you found it though.
That is seriously cool and much easier than scrolling through updates to find the ones you want to read.

I’m still completely in love with it, Laura. I look forward to the “new edition” each day.
Donna — this is so cool. I currently have a client that I need to be at their site from 8-6ish and they (obviously) have blocked all social media. I feel like I’m working on an island and miss so much of the people I like to follow. There is no way I can surf down through the streams in the evenings with everything else I need to do. I can’t wait to check this out. Maybe I won’t feel so left out anymore.
