Brand yourself or Business with Storify

by Michael V. Internet Marketer Storify is a website that creates and preserves stories or timelines using social media such as Twitter, photos and videos. It was launched in 2010, and has been open to the public since April 2011.

Users search multiple social networks from one place, and then drag individual elements into stories. Users can re-order the elements and also add text to help give context to the readers.

Media organizations have used Storify in coverage of ongoing news stories such as elections and meetings and events. Poynter.org recommended using Storify for covering social movements, breaking news, internet humor and memes, reactions and conversations, and extreme weather. CBC used Storify to cover the 2011 London riots,and Al Jazeera has a show called "The Stream" that collects perspectives on news stories using Storify.

Storify launched its private beta as a finalist at TechCrunch Disrupt in September 2010. It won the Startup Accelerator at South by Southwest in 2011. The company received $2 million in funding from Khosla Ventures. Storify's public beta went live in late April 2011. TIME rated Storify as one of the 50 best websites of 2011: @wikipedia
