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?

PubMed Search & News Widget

OK, I think Toolbars are great for quick easy access to search databases, free or licensed databases. Users can use this jumpstart search to get to their preferred search engines direct from their browser window. But not everybody is allowed to install browser plugins or add-ons. To distribute the Toolbar functionality like the search & news options, I create derived widgets that can be used as a whole in many social networks , websites and intranet sites, everywhere where it is allowed to put up html. The PubMed Search & News Widget is the latest one. I just got confirmation from Widgetbox that they approved it. "Derived" in this case, means, the widget is using the PubMed Toolbar installed custom searches and the installed rss-feed of PubMed New & Noteworthy .

Updates from Journal Apps (BrowZine, docwise, ReadbyQxMD, Docphin)

Here a short overview of all new updates around the Journal apps we are supporting. Personally I am most excited about the anouncements of " docwise " making big steps to keep up with BrowZine & Read (Integration -"Open in"- with Dropbox, Evernote and more, save and email full text articles), but making a hug jump with unique features, like shareable Folders with docwise users ánd a RSS reader feature (boldly called Google Reader replacement!). Bring it on! BrowZine : just published the Android Version of their App to which the CMB UMCG now has a subscription. To be downloaded from Google Play Store or Amazon App Store the following publishers have been added  Project MUSE Cambridge University Press American Marketing Association Academy of Management Royal Society of Chemistry Institute of Physics American Physical Society Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) American Geophysical Union International Society for Optics a...

Make RSS feed from any Facebook Page

You could ask why on earth do you want that....   Well, simply to insert the feed into a feed reader or make all posts/updates available in an "aggregator" like Rebelmouse.com.  With Rebelmouse you can create your own social media Frontpage (and blog) based on various social media accounts, searches AND RSS feeds. ( More on Rebelmouse and the power of curation  ) Say I want to add Facebook posts ánd images from the page Inuit Art Zone  into a Rebelmouse I made about Inuit Art . Rebelmouse offers to add My Pages via my facbook account, but other pages can only be entered via RSS. You only need TWO things :  the base url string for the RSS feed:  http://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?format=rss20&id= the Facebook ID of the page: Find the Facebook (Page) ID Add the ID at the end of the url string and you have a complete working RSS feed! For   Inuit Art Zone  the RSS feed would be: http://www.facebook.com/fee...
