Medical Apps Daily : Paper.li your daily or weekly Newspaper based on Twitter & facebook

See it and subscribe

Medical Apps Daily


Paper.li  organizes links shared on Twitter and Facebook into an easy to read newspaper-style format.
This sounds like it combines twitter AND facebook news, but it doesn't. You can create Newspapers based on:

  • your twitteraccount The newspaper will be created using all the links (articles) shared in the past 24 hours(or within a week)  by yourself (editor in chief) AND the people you follow (contributors
  • a twitter tag
  • a twitter list
  •  on a search of all public posts on facebook
  • or a custom paper
    You can query Twitter with a more complex search term than just a #tag (e.g. find all the tweets that talk about climate AND carbon but NOT solar = climate carbon -solar).
    You can also restrict the Twitter users that can contribute content to the paper by specifying a Twitter list.
    They promise that more features are on the way...
    Medical Apps Daily is focussed on a twitter search:
     

    (medical OR medicine OR health OR e-health OR m-health) (app OR apps OR mobile OR iphone OR android OR iPad OR blackberry)


    I will tweak this search, but could use your help and advice. 
    So, If you have comments or suggestions for improvement of this quick & dirty search, please comment on this post, tweet to @digicmb or @medlibmob

I think it would be more helpful for others if you would add tutorials how it works.

Stefanie, WHAT you can do is in this post. There is really nothing more to it. Go to paper.li site; choose Create Newspaper, choose one of the formats you would like, and just try it! Only for the Custom Newspaper you can add a search query in Twitter.
What would you like to know more?
