Paper.li

I kept on being alerted that my twitter name was showing up in a few different Paper.li Newspapers. So I figured I’d check out Paper.li. I’ve tried this service in the past but it was down or inaccessible so I paid it no mind. This time when I tried I found that it was receptive to new accounts and so I started a new newspaper. I find it very funny that social media has glommed onto and eaten wholly the notion of a newspaper and wrenched it right off of them without even saying thank you.

So now there is The Bluedepth Daily, and this link goes to the current edition. There appears to be no way to link just to the most recent addition and in that, the service is half-baked.

We’ll see just how useful it is. It follows in the footsteps of Flipboard, which for iOS devices turns a lot of these information sources into newspaper-like formatted displays. Only time will tell.
