Don’t be shy — Storify!

Today’s Social Media Month challenge:
Get started on Storify.

Create an account by logging in with Twitter or Facebook, then inputting your email address and a password. After that, you’re all set to pull together a few social media posts about whatever topic you’d like. And don’t forget to follow a few folks, too! (Check out whom your followers are following.)

Special thanks to everyone who attended Liset Marquez’s Storify training this morning. As promised, here’s a few helpful links:

• Get the Chrome Storify extension. This will add a “Storify” button to any social media you peruse. Clicking this button will add that post to your Storify storypad so that it’s waiting for you when you’re ready to pull your Storify together. (I wasn’t able to turn up similar extensions for Firefox or Internet Explorer. Sorry, tweeps! Mozilla is working on an app store, though, so maybe they will have one soon.)

• Also, Steve Buttry uses Storify quite a bit, in big and small ways, as a supplement to his blog.
