Robin Good: Similar to Paper.li, NewsMix.me allows anyone to easily create one or more news channels which automatically aggregate news and posts by your selected sources on Twitter (including "lists"), and Facebook.
You simply add the Twitter and FB accounts that you want to aggregate in a channel and your news channel is immediately created.
The look and feel of the final output is made up of a series of vertical blocks that showcase the tweet or FB content of each post and its related image.
P.S.: Unfortunately, rarely a Twitter stream or FB page is ever posting constantly on the same topic, making the aggregated result not as useful as it could be by allowing any source to be filtered for specific keywords.
Interesting. 7/10

Robin Good: If you are looking for a tool that allows you to find and listen to reporters, journalists and bloggers in the area or on the topic that interests you the most, Lissted should be on your list.
"search for trusted print, broadcast or online sources; follow those who cover your industry or your area."
From TheNextWeb: "The press release distribution service RealWire has launched a new curation tool called Lissted. Its tagline is pretty self-explanatory: “Curating the media on Twitter.”
What it doesn’t say, though, is the size of its database (“the Lisst”), which includes over 10,000 journalists and growing.
As a matter of fact, media professionals can also request to be listed by linking their Twitter account and filling up a detailed sign-up form asking about their areas of interest and specialities.
...Lissted offers advanced search features; you can look for bloggers and journalists from all sorts of sectors or working for a specific media outlet in the region of your choice. Lissted will return detailed results, which includes Twitter accounts and Klout scores — and this search tool displays the first 100 results for free.
...
While some of these features are free as well for listed journalists, Lissted also offers advanced subscription plans targeted at PR and marketing professionals, which range from US$76 to US$232 a month (£49 to £149)."
