Paper.LI Your own social newspaper

Missing Cool new web stuff?

The problem with running a web design and marketing company is, sometimes your so busy, you miss some of the cool stuff coming out on the web. Recently, one of my team members tried to show me this cool new website Paper.il. I was too busy to really listen and went about my business. Today, paper.LI came up again when I noticed the same team member setting up and editing an account for one of our social media clients (we manage social media marketing accounts for our clients). I was curious, so I went to paper.li (.li instead of .com).

WOW! What a fun and cool website. Paper.li enables people to publish newspapers based on topics they like and treat their readers to fresh news, daily. You pick the topics, the RSS feeds and followers you want to feed to your newspaper. It’s like having your own staff of contributors. You get to bring in content that interest you and monitor your facebook and twitter accounts too; at least the one’s you care about anyway. Here is our paper.li newspaper on Bay Area Web Design and SEO.

I can think of a zillion uses for this application. Imagine, having a family paper, where you posted family members tweets, facebook content, RSS feeds from their company websites and other websites, like the family church or favorite places. I can think of uses for clubs, companies and more. And it’s fairly easy to use.
