By now you’ve seen a bunch of newspaper links (”_____ Daily”) links from me on Twitter. Perhaps you’ve read them. Perhaps you’ve retweeted them (thank you!). Allow me to explain what you’re seeing.

The papers are generated automatically using paper.li, a Twitter aggregator that takes a daily compilation of hash tags (or however you configure it) and presents them in a newspaper format. Any links are translated into linked stories with teasers. The paper also runs a loop of non-linked tagged tweets.

What I really like about the paper is that if I miss anything in my timeline (easy when you’re following over 700 people) I can catch it in the paper the next day! You also find new and interesting people to follow!

Anyone can create a paper, and anyone can promote a paper. Give it a try!

Papers I promote through @techcommdood:
