The Know Social Media Daily

Andrew Long (@socialspace) formerly of the University of Otago and instrumental in setting up the Internet Research Group Otago (IRGO) has setup a social media newspaper at http://paper.li/nosocialmedi

Basically its an online aggregator, a sort of rss reader on drugs; interesting how the continued use of the newspaper metaphor is lasting in the digital domain. Would make most local journalism professors have uncomfortable sleep though.
