If they can see the content presented in this style they may start to get it as personalized subscribed information not as a river of tweets.

Newspaper is probably not the best analogy for this mashup of tweets, but I quite like getting an overview of tweets and a taste of the media and content that is being linked to. I know there are a lot of tweets I miss during the day and maybe this will give me a chance to peruse at least a selection of them. Walt and Clare thanks for telling us your thoughts on this.

What I love about flipboard (and no, I don't have an iPad, just Flipboard envy) is being able to see a bit more than just 'click here' with a URL that is totally non descriptive (like a bit.ly or tinyurl). This seems to have a similar interface and similar 'bigger chunks' to look at up front. Like all of these things I think setting it up and playing with it is the only way you're gonna know if it's potentially good :-)And how else do you find out you needed something you didn't even know existed a week ago?

Really? Somehow, I have yet to see a newspaper where the front page was just a bunch of topics and numbers, and topical pages only include a sentence or so of each story before a jumpcut. It leaves me cold--as "newspaper-style" blogs and sites, with lots of teeny intros and too many jumpcuts usually do--but that's just me. “Newspaper-style”? Really?
