Social Media Newspaper?



I was reading Consumer Reports magazine (that's for another post another day) and they featured a lot of apps for different articles. For example, alternate methods of paying at a store if you don't have a credit card or cash. For some reason, I got to thinking about a newspaper (or magazine, even) that would be based solely on apps and social media to help companies as well as the average person. I'm not talking about New York Times online or Mashable. I mean a hard copy that is an app dictionary and features websites aside from Twitter and Facebook that help people connect in different ways.

For example, a website that is no where as near popular is foursquare, a location-based website and app. It lets you tell your friends when you're out at a restaurant or a store. If you check-in at a place enough, you become mayor. It's pretty simple and addicting. Bravo channel and Marc Jacobs have an accounts.

Now, what if there was a newspaper that listed sites such as foursquare to help people that are searching for something different or a little more specific? Yeah, there's Google search, but that only goes so far. The internet only goes so far.

Or does it?
