This is a cool little application in alpha-testing stage, and it certainly shines a new light on your Twitter account. You register your Twitter account on the website called Paper.li and what it does is organizes links shared on Twitter into an easy to read newspaper-style format.
Newspapers can be created for any Twitter user, list or #tag.
A great way to stay on top of all of the information, links, and videos that are shared by the people you follow – even if you are not connected all the time.
What do you think of this? Give it a try…

@Shirley Osei-Mensah, Hi Shirley, Thank you for your feedback. As soon as I saw this, I wanted to share it, as since the Twitter-hype has died down, creative and inventive ideas seem to be emerging now. And this is definitely one of them.
I hope you enjoy your “newspaper”

This is very inventive. Nice lay out. I like the fact that I can easily read a particular group I have separated out by a hash tag.

@Sheila Atwood, Hi Sheila, Yes, I would never have thought of this as a possible extention of Twitter, but I really like the way it works.
I am in no way a Twitter fan, so unfortunately this app looks a little silly to me. It was nice of you, however, to share it with your readers
I look forward to reading some more of your posts.

@Carl, Hi Carl, Thanks for your feedback. The thing about Twitter is that you need to know how to use it correctly. I’ve met amazing people through Twitter, and I have had clients find me through Twitter, and buy from me because of Twitter – so I LOVE it!
At first I didn’t like it, but now that the spammers are under control, and people are using their accounts to engage more, it has become better and better.

Great find Fiona. I have never heard of this before and I thank you for introducing me to this service. Just went over there and created my “Newspaper Daily” and I absolutely love it. This guys won’t stop moving forward do they. This is awesome… btw, my paper.li ends with /ditesco, in case you want to check it out, lol.

@DiTesco, Hi Francisco, Thanks for your kind comments. I had a look at your newspaper – very nice, with snippets about marketing, SEO and smartphones. I’m glad you find this tool interesting and useful

Fiona, I first heard about Paper.li from @dragonblogger and I’ve been setting them up for many of my Twitter lists. My favorite is basicblogtips/trailblazers
There’s a couple of drawbacks and one is that you can’t change the update interval so if you set it up in the evening it will always update in 24 hours, the other drawback it that you can’t decide which links appear.
Even with those drawbacks, I think it’s a fantastic way to show off some of your friends tweets!
Thanks.

@Ileane @ Basic Blog Tips, Hi Ileane, Yes, I still am viewing my Twitter with this since I wrote this post. I really like it. You should send your feedback to the creators… since they are still in the “alpha” phase, they have not yet reached the “beta” testing phase, so they are probably very open to feedback.
Also I saw they are hiring web developers, which is a very good sign, as to their popularity, so it will be interesting to watch as their product develops.
