Paper.li

I kept on being alerted that my twitter name was showing up in a few different Paper.li Newspapers. So I figured I’d check out Paper.li. I’ve tried this service in the past but it was down or inaccessible so I paid it no mind. This time when I tried I found that it was receptive to new accounts and so I started a new newspaper. I find it very funny that social media has glommed onto and eaten wholly the notion of a newspaper and wrenched it right off of them without even saying thank you.

So now there is The Bluedepth Daily, and this link goes to the current edition. There appears to be no way to link just to the most recent addition and in that, the service is half-baked.

We’ll see just how useful it is. It follows in the footsteps of Flipboard, which for iOS devices turns a lot of these information sources into newspaper-like formatted displays. Only time will tell.

  1. Hi Bluedepth blog!

    Thanks for writing about your experience and experimentation with Paper.li. The link that you posted will always take you to the most current edition of your paper. You can access previous editions via the archive at the top.

    I see that you have not yet activated the editor's note. This is located on the front page of your paper and you can add the note when you are logged in. This is where you can add information about yourself and your paper (what it's about) and hyperlink urls to your blog or other destinations that you think are interesting for your readers.

    Let us know how you publishing experience goes! We look forward to hearing from you.
