10 DROP DEAD REASONS TO USE STORIFY

There are a cajillion Web 2.0 tools out there for a writer to express herself and get world wide feedback. Why use storify?  

Robert Scoble got it right when he said that Pinterest is to Facebook what Stofiy’s iPad app is to Twitter. The article in Search Engine Journal explains:

"Say you want to get your readers to send you videos and photos based on an event. You ask on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and your site. Normally if you were going to do this on your blog you would have to hassle with all of the CMS issues, namely having to grab images using Jing, saving them and then loading them through the multi-file uploader if you are using WordPress.Anyone who’s grabbed a ton of media files for a story knows what kind of hassle that can be! Storify can simplify that process where you can drag-and-drop comments, Flickr photos, Twitpics, multimedia emailed in and YouTube videos.This is why Storify is so attractive as a curation tool." 

Current events project seems the obvious target, could elementary students do this? I am not sure. 

If I have learned anything about technology, it is that you have to take many test drives to make sure it is as easy as it seems.
