Curious if anyone is using Storify as a way to curate articles, videos, etc for their blog?  I ran across it about a year ago and seemed interesting but was not real “user friendly” for a novice like myself so forgot about it.  Then this fall several articles came out about how Storify had made some changes, went back and took a look and really liked it.  Started using it for some of our blog articles where I am trying to pull together different takes on a subject.  You can pull your story together, publish then embed it into your blog.

The question I have for the reader is…so is anyone else using it?  If not why? In addition to doing my “normal job” in the non-virtual world I read a lot of other blogs and have not seen anyone else using it.  Which makes me wonder if there is some issue out there with using Storify I am not aware of.

Any input would be helpful and appreciate thoughts of folks who are out there blogging for a living!

I hadn’t heard of storify until here so I will take a look at it.

Sounds interesting… never heard of it. Look forward to checking it out.

@asbtdc_asu …It looks to me like you made good use of Storify in your blog. I registered with Storify a while back but never could grasp the concept or value. The way you use it is definitely intriguing. Will be interested in other thoughts.

@asbtdc_asu I tried using Storify a number of months ago and also found it unsatisfactory. Either that or I didn’t learn how to use it properly. I have also noticed that they have developed a plugin for Wordpress, but I haven’t tried it yet. Now I have something else to add to my to-do list.

Nice job on the Pinterest post.

I’ve had Storify as a tab on my desktop for two weeks now. I plan to do something with it in the next few days – thanks for the little nudge. I will return and report.

Thanks to everyone who has responded.  Phil yes they have a plug in, in fact it was an article about the plug in that took me back over to visit.  Been using it since.  Given the work we do at a small business development center we help entrepreneurs and small businesses on a wide variety of topics so our blog articles cover a lot of topics (don’t have the luxury of just blogging on social media for example) so it provides a pretty easy way to consolidate a number of articles, blogs, video, etc. in one place to provide to our readers.  As example with all the discussion on Facebook page timelines rather than try to add my own to it, used Storify to pull a number of perspectives about Timelines and supply to our readers to let them decide… so it has been a good tool for us to use.  Just was curious from the “power” bloggers standpoint what their take on it was.  Thanks again and have a great weekend.
