Storify Helps Journalists Filter News

Site extracts best from Twitter, Facebook, and other social media

As social media users flood the Internet with posts, photos, and videos of breaking news events, it’s getting increasingly hard to siphon out the vital information from the trivial.

Storify—which received a $2 million investment from Khosla Ventures—allows users to piece together public content from Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Flikr, and other social media sites to create an information collage that they can then write on and embed in their own sites.
