I am a paper boy again! Paper.li is my new favorite toy!

One of my first jobs was in the 5th grade when I delivered the Detroit News after I got out of school. All my friends had paper routes...it took us an hour and gave us walking around money to blow on video games.  I later got a Free Press route and, thanks to my dad, survived those cold Michigan winter mornings delivering the Freep...

Lately, I have been watching a few people on twitter playing around with Paper.li and finally took the plunge and started creating my own dailies! All credit to @scottmonty as I have been reading his Daily

Quick run down on what Paper.li is (from Tech Crunch)

SmallRivers, a fledging Internet startup based out of Switzerland that has developed a Web app called Paper.li that basically lets you turn Twitter streams, tags and lists into daily online newspapers, has landed more cash after inking a $1 million seed funding deal back in 2008.

[snip]

Paper.li, launched in alpha mode last April, organizes links shared on Twitter into an easy-to-skim page that makes it look like an online newspaper’s homepage. Virtual, personalized newspapers can be created for any Twitter user (TechCrunch), list (Robert Scoble’s ‘most influential in tech’ list) or tag (#oilspill).

Ok...so I can use my Twitter or Facebook accounts to create daily newspapers based on links that are being shared by my friends or by the everyone...I like it..we wrestled with a similar problem at Digg (no time for that here)..

So I created a few to test:

let's see...I like wine!  Voila! (Wallah! for you 'merikens) The Wine Daily

How about Charlie Sheen (cliche..I know):  The Sheen Daily!

one more!

The iPad Daily!

What a great use of the Twitter API...I am looking forward to really learning how to use this to aggregate content for me

    rim. You will get iWork in the Applications retailer
    at itunes. For myself, the primary reason I jailbroke
    my iPhone was to get my hands-on the incredible My3G app.

    More specifically, mint green has been making a huge comeback

    who are native to this region have made Acai Berry a large part of their regular diet, it is almost half
    of everything they eat, and by doing so, they are healthier than normal.

    Some of the records on display truly boggle the mind and it makes you
    wonder who has the time to come up with some of these rather offbeat ideas
    for world records, and who might have the time to
    execute those ideas. Move to one of the now-flashing consoles and interact with it
    to do so. Mistakes can be made by users, customers, or administrators.

  3. You should be able to service all your dental needs,
    talk to others who have had this work done. Well, visiting the
    local general dentist in Warwick, RI works on scheduled appointments and a
    surprise visit would not be welcomed. Judge Murphy agreed
    to remove the case from the dentist upcoming November calendar to
    allow the patient to see his or her doctor ASAP.

  5. This may be an extreme reaction, especially considering many of the
    risks involved with eating red meat and consuming genetically engineered crops, so many of us are left thinking that
    we may just have to starve. I did a little research and chose the Toshiba

    with your site. It appears as if some of the text in your posts

    I've had this happen before. Cheers

    I am really impressed with your writing skills as well as with the layout
    on your blog. Is this a paid theme or did you customize it yourself?

    see a nice blog like this one nowadays.

  8. If there was ANY way of knowing there are other survivors,

    here the better. 5 stars) is neither very funny nor very scary, but showcases Melvyn Douglas, Charles Laughton,
    Raymond Massey, and Gloria Stuart seeking shelter from a storm and
    having to deal with Boris Karloff, et al. Animals move quickly in the water, and often erratically, making them look like floundering prey.
