My own Twitter "newspaper"

I stumbled across a new site called paper.li that allows anyone to create a "newspaper-style" digital publication from a variety of Twitter feeds. The process takes a few minutes, and offers some interesting prospects.

2) Pulling a feed from a designated #hashtag
3) Pulling a feed from a Twitter list

I created two: "The Logan Molen Daily" based on my @lmolen handle and the 253 people I follow and "The journoinnovation Daily," based on Steve Buttry's @journoinnovation list, which pulls in my Tweets.
