The Storify Editor has many ways to find public social media for your stories. While browsing the web, the Storify bookmarklet and Chrome extension can also be used to quickly save images, articles or anything else you see:

Because browser extensions are available anywhere you go online and Storify stories are public by default, keep these tips in mind to respect others and avoid privacy faux pas when quoting content.

Before collecting online content with Storify, be sure to look at any privacy settings on it. Many social networks give clear indicators that a particular status message is public, friends-only or intended for restricted audiences. Though you can see it, the person who originally posted something may not have intended for it to be quoted publicly elsewhere. 

Many things we say online are harmless, and often people are happy to know that someone cared about what they said and wanted to share it more widely by publishing their words with Storify. 

But if you think someone might have an issue with being quoted publicly, ask about it before publishing. It's common courtesy, and an easy way to avoid awkward situations with friends or colleagues. 

And hey, we're here for you too. If you ever have questions about features, policies or how much the Storify team enjoys saying the word "netiquette," drop us a line. We're available via support[at]storify[dot]com

Thanks!
