Facebook newspapers now available on paper.li

I always have been a huge fan of Paper.li and it is really impressive to see how they have evolved. There is clearly no competitors in the user generated newspaper field now: Newscred has changed its strategy and is now platform oriented , and The Twitter Times clearly offers less options.In my opinion it is the best way to stay up to date provided that you have set up your lists or your hashtags well.

From their blog : "We have just released the possibility to create Facebook papers. A first step in working with Facebook data, so any feedback (comments below) will be appreciated!

For now, you can create papers based on a search of all public posts on Facebook (this means posts from people that have set their profile/wall to 'public'). It is a bit like a Twitter tag paper, but for Facebook... Facebook currently supports only very basic keyword searches on public posts - so a paper based on the search 'climate energy' will find all posts containing both words - paper.li then extracts all links, videos and photos, analyzes them, ranks them and creates the paper in a similar fashion to Twitter papers. So try it out, and tell us what you think... We are also looking into other possibilities with Facebook - such a creating papers for individual users. But that would mean papers that can be viewed only by the Facebook user (i.e. private), and we wonder if people need/want a different way to look at their Facebook wall - so here again, tell us what you think! This is an initial step in enabling further content sources for the creation of automated & personalized newspapers. Many more to follow..."

 

I hope  they will be able to implement facebook fan pages support soon as it could offer a simple yet effective  way to create digests for your pages. By the way if you want to stop receiving mentions from Paper.li simply click on the button below :

I wouldn't recommend it though as it is a great way to discover people which share the same interests.
