Media outlets and other resources on Storify

Have you heard of Storify? It’s an easy way to use social media and multimedia to tell a story. You can search various social networks (e.g. Twitter, Facebook, YouTube), links and RSS feeds  from one place, and drag elements into your story. It makes what was once a stagnant blog post into both a visually pleasing and socially interactive reader experience.

A few reasons you might want to check them out–even if you don’t create content:

“Storify stories have been viewed more than 13 million times on our site and across the Web since our private beta launched at the end of September 2010. We had 4.2 million views just in March, our biggest month yet.”

“…private beta users have created more than 21,000 stories. Storify stories have been embedded on more than 5,000 sites — including some of the most-read destinations on the Web like The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, The Guardian, BBC, NPR, PBS, CBC and many other blogs and sites.”

Visiting the site it’s difficult to easily locate all of your favorite media outlets and add them to a follow list. The Sevans Strategy team compiled our current list of “favorites” to help you get started quickly. Feel free to suggest others to add to the list:
