I posted before about the usefullness of twitter lists for organising friends and followers, a little look around though will tell you that lists are not widely followed, so whats the Point then? Enter paper.li

paper.li in itself will not do much for lists, but it makes it interesting keeping lists, but first let me introduce you to it: it's a service cooked up by a small privately held company at a university in switzerland that let you read twitter content as a daily newspaper.

You can create newspapers by entering keywords, twitter user, or twitter lists, in will then crunch trough the info fetching content from shared links. Tag it, organize it and put it out as an online newspaper for you to read. The closest comparison I can make it's what feedly does for rss feeds. You have to see it and try it to get just how amazing it is.

my daily paper is at: http://paper.li/ideathinker

now back to how this has anything to do with twitter lists (which it hasn't really except for the idea I got), say you put various media outlets and bloggers twitter accounts onto a list together with a few twitter friends you have that shares a lot of usefullness - now browsing trough that list can be awkward and you have to look at it constantly not to miss anything - enter paper.li who digest what's been on the agenda and present it to you in a nice paper-like layout.

just a thought..

Ps! Kudos and thanks to http://www.twitter.com/armano for discovering this service and giving me a tip about it.
