The story as data.

Standard in computer science: Object-oriented programming and model-view-controller (MVC), but how to apply it to a story? Dissect the story: headline, lede, quote, background, analysis – standard news items. Storify is a new service that pulls in different elements from social media to tell stories. Giving tools to curators to pull together social media bits to tell a story. Pingback the user they are in a story. MVC is used to plot the elements in different views, or on a timeline. A new type of journalism, geekily called: Object oriented journalism in contrast to standard content management systems that focus on flat text.

  3. Storify klinkt heel interessant maar ik vind het wel jammer dat de site niet duidelijker vertelt wat het precies is. Ik heb me dus maar aangemeld voor het vervolg…

    1. Ja, helaas nog in private beta. We kregen tijdens de dag een korte demo en het lijkt een mooie tool om verhalen rondom een onderwerp vanuit verschillende sociale media platformen op één plek bij elkaar te halen. Ik heb me dus ook aangemeld :)
