We're trying out PAPER.LI'S Twitter consolidation page. It accumulates all the tweets you select that link to full articles, and formats them in a newspaper-style page.

I first discovered this site in The Ensemble Studio Theater's tweets. Thy've put together a very interesting daily collection of theater news:

The Beyond Broadway Daily

Some notes about paper.li :

  • It has very primitive selection criteria. You make some basic choices and for everything in your scope it accumulates everything that has a link. Then it formats a page.
  • You can set the frequency of publication: Daily; Morning & evening; or Weekly.
  • You have little or no ability to customize the resulting page.
  • I don't know whether it checks links for viruses. Use at your own risk. (I'm using only sites that I hope are trustworthy as sources -- but still it is a little risky. Use at your own risk!)
  • Given improvements and enhancements in the site, it seems like the best way yet to view the scope of twitter information.
  • The site is still in alpha!
  • They are pre-alpha in developing an accumulation page for Facebook.
  • The company is based in Switzerland.
