It has probably been around for a while but paper.li is new to me.
Paper.li takes a look at your Twitter feed or you Facebook profile, sees who you are following (and therefore interested in reading about) and populates a newspaper-format website – all at the touch of a button.
Not only does it then publish your paper back to Twitter/Facebook, but it automatically updates everyday (or at a specific timescale if you prefer). Fantastic!
It was retweeted a few times. A retweet is when a Twitter user ‘re-broadcasts’ your message to their followers – thus broadening the audience.
In a few minutes the image had been viewed over 100 times.
Then it was retweeted by Suzi Perry from Channel Five’s Gadget Show. Suzi has over 40,000 followers – suddenly my image is being viewed (and retweeted) by thousands.
Then Paul Daniels retweeted Suzi’s retweet to his 25,000 followers. By the end of the day the image had been viewed nearly 10,000 times.
