Storify

I spent some time today and last night creating a Storify story for Knowledge Management.  I had some Youtube videos, some links for websites on the Google search, some job postings I found on twitter, and other things.  In finishing the final touches on my project, there was an error on the site and I couldn't do anything more.  To make things worse, I didn't have an account yet, so I did not have it saved.  At this point, I became really frustrated with it and closed the window, deleting my content.  I opened up a new window with the thought of creating a new storify, but their signup form has three blanks that do not have any explanation of what you're supposed to type.  So, I tried every combination I could think of for username, password and email address without any success.  So, needless to say, I won't be able to share my Storify story.

Despite all that frustration, I like the site.  I was all excited to use it for a project I'm working on.  I am not sure if I'm still going to use it or not as ease of use is a huge concern for the person I'm working with.  Even if it's not something I use for this project, it's something that I would like to use with later projects.  It's a really good site for multimedia storage and dissemination.

Has anyone used it before and had more luck with it than I did?  What did you create with it?

  1. I have only played with no real purpose. I need to find a real purpose and try it out again. I can definitely see the potential.
