What is a social newspaper?
Recommended stories and friend updates
Social newspapers are an interesting new way of aggregating your Facebook and Twitter content in a real-time fashion. If you have a group of friends with common interests, social news aggregation will let you share articles and updates that are important to your group. The beauty of social newspaper apps is that they can be updated as quickly as someone adds news to their own pages, so your friends can provide all the content, and every time you check the “paper” you will get breaking updates as they happen. The rise of tablets and iPads is going to be a great contributor to the social newspaper platform, and there are already several apps that can help you build a front page with preferences that will truly give you “all the news that’s fit” to be viewed. Some examples of social newspaper apps include Adobe’s MyFeedZ, Flibboard for the iPad, and PostPost for Facebook.

Notes and Special Information
Special note: The term "social newspaper" can mean different things to different people, but the format is trending toward an interactive screen that updates friend status and recommended articles, so it will likely look more like an old fashioned newspaper than a flop book.
