Oh, but you can't - Google FAIL™ as it interprets that the page is already in unforeign.

Cool! So how does it work, do you pick each item individually or do you subscribe to feeds or what?

You can make it feed off your twitter or facebook account, and it automatically composes the paper for you with a set periodicity. You can select sources among your twitter lists, saved searches, etc. You could have it follow particuler tags or accounts, etc. And when the new edition posts you can switch to 'editing Mode' and move items around if you want a different emphasis.

I decided to experiment with it and I think it could speed up the composition of our daily 'salon'.
