The uses of this full blow media story telling feast in Education or just plain self development and life long learning will be amazing. Anyone interested in teaching anything should be aware of this multifaceted story telling and information sharing leap.

Artful use of trash and landfill would be:
Excerpt: The green bottle Christmas tree design reused some 2,330 glass bottles, collected over a period of one year from 13 families of Pamplona region in Spain. The 6m high conical structure, resembling a tree, with a diameter of 4.80m at the base used 90% green glass bottles and 10% transparent glass bottles. These glass bottles were then lit using waterproof linear fluorescent lamps Philips TCW060, arranged radially into three circular rings in parallel planes to the base. The light is projected towards the cone’s vertex illuminating the bottles; with colour temperature 840 and total power of only 2.3kW to emit a radiant green light on a street in Spain.

If you haven't read the New York Times story "Snow Fall: The Avalanche at Tunnel Creek" you are totally missing a fab reading experience.
So what's this got to do with business storytelling? Because it shows that long-form storytelling is still popular despite all the wailing and moaning about people's short attentions spans destroying storytelling.
The proof is in the pudding -- 3.5 billion page views at the end of Dec. and probably more now.
It is a captivating story and I was immediately hooked reading it.
What can this mean for you? Well for one, don't get all twisted up about only creating short stories. A well-crafted story will always be engaging so don't worry about the length. Worry about crafting it well. You can always shorten it to fit a particular context later.
And second, if you are wanting to share your stories as part of your content strategy, let it rip. But take some lessons from "Snow Fall":
Think about how you can use long-form storytelling to your advantage. Now go read "Snow Fall" and settle in for a great story!
This review was written by Karen Dietz for her curated content on business storytelling atwww.scoop.it/t/just-story-it
