Storify.com

What it is

An online tool that gives you a way to create "social stories" by pulling together media and content from across the web.  It is rapidly becoming a popular tool for content curation.

How it works

Go to Storify.com and create a free account.  Click "Create Story" to open the Storify Editor.  In the Editor, you can search a variety of sources on topics or keywords, including:

You drag and drop snippets of content that comes up in your searches into your "story," adding a headline, a description and comments as you wish.  You can save your stories, publish them to Storify.com and share them on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn or via email.

Ways to use it

The main point of Storify is to pull media together and add a context to tell your organization's stories.  You might use Storify for compiling content into a single article for your website, blog or social media channel.  People are using it creatively in a number of other ways.  For example, you might use it to create media-rich tutorials for staff (you can combine all sorts of media, including text, images and video).  You could pull together a list of Must-Read or Must-Watch (or both) items.

How much it costs

It's free, but you do have to create an account to login and use the tool.
