The Twitter Times – A Social Newspaper?

More and more people are consuming their news through Twitter and using it as a sort of personalized RSS reader but the noise can be slightly overwhelming and it can be hard to find all the quality content between people promoting their own content. New service Twitter time.es is trying to solve that problem by creating a personalized newspaper for you where you can easily digest all the best most relevant content that appears in your stream.
