Paper.li adds Facebook support, now lets you create newspapers out of Facebook searches

Paper.li, the online app that automatically creates a daily 'newspaper' out of the links shared by the people you follow on Twitter, has added Facebook support. The scope of the Facebook integration isn't yet as broad as with Twitter, partly because of Facebook's more complicated privacy controls.

What you can do right now is create a 'newspaper' based on a public search term, like "WikiLeaks news on Facebook" (a screenshot of which you can see in the image above). Paper.li takes the results it gets from Facebook for any search term, analyzes them, extracts all links, videos and photos, ranks them, and then creates the paper in a very similar fashion to what they do for Twitter hashtags.

Papers based on individual Facebook accounts are in the works, but (again thanks to Facebook's privacy structure) they will only be viewable by the respective account holders. Paper.li is also looking into the possibility of creating papers based on Facebook groups in the future, but it's not known at this point whether these will ever materialize.
