Today we're introducing the new Storify bookmarklet, which makes it possible to collect elements from any major social network. You can now also add social media elements directly into a Storify story, or save media for later in your Storypad.

Many users have asked to add items from their favorite social networks to their stories. While the bookmarklet now works for all status updates, comments, and other media on social media sites.

The new bookmarklet is incredibly handy for people who have been asking for access to places like Pinterest, Reddit and many other sites for their Storify stories.

If you want your story updated immediately, you can now use the bookmarklet to add media directly into a published story without having to go back to Storify's editing dashboard. Select which story to add media to from the pull-down list at the top of the bookmarklet dialog box, which also lets you search through your stories. If you want to create a new story, start typing a new story title and you'll be able to create it there from the bookmarklet. If you want to save media for later, as the bookmarklet previously worked, you can still always add the item to your StoryPad.

There are a couple places to find the new Storify bookmarklet:

When you're browsing any major social network, look at your bookmarks bar (or, if you hide your bookmarks bar, go to the bookmarks area in your browser). Click the "Storify this" option that's now available to activate it on the page.

You'll now see a "Storify" link next to elements like pictures, status updates, or comments when you hover your mouse over them. 

Enjoy, and let us know if you have any questions. We're always available via support[at]storify[dot]com
