General Musing

I must say, I hadn’t thought of this before. paper.li creates papers based on hashtags, and it is possible to get into a paper based on the hashtags you are using. There are currently approx. 27570 hashtags which are followed by paper.li, although many of them have little or no articles on a daily basis.

Another way to take advantage of paper.li is to post as close to the deadline of the paper’s delivery, this will mean that your post will be more likely to be in the headlines section of the paper. For my own paper this is just after 11:30 CET, some investigation may be required to find out the time that the edition you want is published.

I gratefully receive references from paper.li and paper.li tweets, and I enjoy seeing the overview that paper.li provides. I would like to see the possibility to get more editions of the paper, though I might not read it more often than I do now. Post consolidation of articles, meaning not getting 3 or sometimes 4 includes of the same article from different sources, including tweetmeme and alltop.
