Social Media
Our vision for Storify
We want to share our vision for Storify and why we believe it's important. We've had a great start so far, and together we will disrupt how we inform the world. Thanks for being part of our story.
- Everyone is now a reporter. Whenever something happens on this planet, eyewitnesses, experts and celebrities share what they see and react on social networks like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube ... and whatever comes next.
We believe this is a tremendous opportunity to be better informed. The voice of people on the ground, living through events that resonate far and wide, need to be amplified so that we can understand our world.
But with this opportunity comes a big challenge: there is so much noise online and no one has the time to sift through it all. Regular people busy with their lives just want the story. 
"Stories are the way to make sense of the data deluge in this age of social media." - @burtherman of @Storify speaking at #sxtimemap.- That’s why we built Storify. Our goal is to amplify the voices that matter by enabling our users to make sense of what people are reporting on social networks, to find meaning and provide context.
- As a social media editor, you can easily curate any social media stream to create engaging stories. You can share your stories or publish them on your own site.

It's getting pretty tiresome and the lack of reliability is causing me to have less and less inclination to bother. I'm guessing your infrastructure needs some loving, so hopefully you'll take this into consideration soon!more2012-07-19T17:43:41.416Z
