My company, FlexBuzz, is working on a solution to solve this problem and I will post more information as it becomes available on my blog.

The software will behave like an RSS aggregator, except for that the actual news items will be printed to a PDF file with a newspaper layout. The main challenge here is to construct the logic for making an attractive newspaper layout.

Whether the content is coming from TailRank or your personal RSS Reader doesn’t matter…the idea is that the presentation is similar to a print newspaper.

Imagine buying a print newspaper, and all the content was from your feeds…the size of the editorial and feature sections could be based on your attention data…and you could also put in advertisements.

Maybe the sections could be according to the folders in your RSS Reader.

In the end the idea was to generate a replica of a print newspaper based on your feed content and attention data.

Isn’t what you’re describing similar to what TailRank is already doing?

Maybe I don’t really understand what you mean. I often don’t understand what you’re talking about!
