Storify is a new service for building on-the-fly curated “stories” out of disparate elements like Tweets, Flickr photos, Facebook postings and so on. It’s in beta now; I gave it a whirl just now. I’m embedding my first Storify story here.
I couldn’t figure out how to add my own text other than the summary at the top; it would have been nice to weave the quoted tweets together with my own words.
I also couldn’t figure out how to use Storify to edit the story after I saved it.
I assume these are on the “features” list somewhere!

| Added: UPDATE: As you can see I have now figured out how to do both these things. Memo to interface designers: some of us actually find text labels more useful than naked icons... Still, can't complain too loudly here. Storify is pretty easy to use! | |||
