Twitter has become a staple in my professional growth as an educator and I am always looking for new ways to view my Twitter Feed and to use Twitter in my daily routine and life. Recently while looking at All My Faves, I came across Paper.li which advertises the ability to read Twitter Streams like a daily newspaper. I was intrigued to say the least, so I checked it out.
First thought; how in the world do I view this? I saw some featured sections, and I saw some current "Curators." I noticed Education under the feature section, so I clicked. I scrolled down and found Web 2.0 in Education. What I found were Tweets by people I was following, links that they were sharing showed up in a pop-up window without leaving the webpage. If there were videos that were shared, you could watch it right there in the newspaper, same goes for Photos. There was even a section dedicated to #edchat and a Feed as well. They also broke down the Tweets based on sections, such as politics, business, entertainment, living, etc. Next to each section is a number so that you can view all the "articles" (Tweets) related to that section. You can also view all the articles in list format if you want too.
You can also create your own newspaper. So I created my own newspaper for what goes through my Twitter Feed, how cool! What is really neat is that it will automitcally create a new edition every 24 hours based one what is shared!
What I did not like were all the ads within the "newspaper," but they have to make money some how.
