Robin Good's insight:
Hats to Susan Mernit, who has an excellent piece on Knight Digital Media Center about how to do effective news curation and storytelling with Storify.
She brings in lots of relevant stories and examples showcasing how other individuals and journalists have been effectively using this news curation platform.
"The most successful creators of Meograph and Storify pages are united by one thing: they’re skilled editors and curators who know how to look at content posted on multiple social networks and pull out the pieces that will best help them to tell a story."
“Storify is the best way to gather tweets, comments, snippets and images from all around the Web and put them into one post. It's a new way of blogging that lets all your Internet friends participate.”
Brava Susan, great job and superglad to have intercepted you again.
Instructive. Informative. Resourceful. 8/10

The First Million Dollar Social Tool?
Agree the new look is subtle but significant. The "random" feel is maintained but there is new cairity in the interface. Add the new look together with Pinterest's new analytics and before you know it this tool is going to be ready for prime time and its ability to make money is hardly in question.
I still want a "store within" Pinterest option since half the visiting traffic is lost with each click, but the new look and feel + Pinterest analytics means someone is going to make a million bucks on this tool here very soon.
Sure Facebook, Twitter et al. are WORTH millions, but how WE make money has always been the rub. Pinterest felt like a cool store the first time I went in and only more so now.
