Tumblr Storyboard!
Great idea from Tumblr to showcase stories from creatives…hope it’s a little bit more effective that than Twitter stories.

Using Storify to Document Live Events
Storify is a dynamic, visual social platform that allows you to integrate live content from social networks including Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, Soundcloud and Facebook. It’s a great way to show how a story, event, or campaign develops over social media.
Before you can compose a Storify, you’ll need to take a series of steps on Twitter to generate content.
Step 1: Establish a Twitter hashtag for your event
Choose a short and relevant hashtag that will be easy for people to remember and include within their tweets. In the example below, we use #MOLlate to signify “Museum of London Late”.
Step 2. Communicate the hashtag to your team and collaborators
Encourage everyone working on the event, who is on Twitter, to include the hashtag within their tweets. Do this by email, tweet and follow-up in-person. Doing so ensures that before, during an after an event, it’s easy to access a stream of relevant live tweets. In the example below, we asked all our actors to share behind-the-scenes moments.
Step 3. Publicly display the hashtag for event attendees
To generate content for your Storify, display the event’s hashtag on the event website, blog and/or printed materials so that attendees know how to participate. An in-person reminder also helps! They’ll never how unless you make it explicitly clear.
Step 4. Tweet live photos
Camera+ and Instagram are brilliant mobile photo sharing tools. Snap photos during events, while encouraging others to do so as well. Professional services always take additional time, so take advantage of your mobiles - snap, edit, and publish on Twitter using the hashtag within the description.
Step 5. Review and choose the best live content to feature within your Storify
After the event, use Storify to review the hashtag stream and pick and choose the best tweets and photos. Storify allows you to search and find content using various social networks. Doing this can be a bit fiddly, but the easiest option to use is Twitter Search, where you can search the hashtag. Alternatively install the ‘Storify this’ bookmarklet to your browser.
Understanding how to use Storify takes some time, but it’s well worth it to have a dynamic and visually engaging record of your event.
Have a look at @claired How to Use Storify for more advice.
Pinterest has gained popularity because it allows us to do the opposite of what we’ve been told to do with social media. Pinterest is less about engagement with people you know and more about discovery and idea curation. The pins you see are customized and pushed out based on self-identified interests.
It’s moments like this that make Facebook worth it.
Creative Collaboration: Social Media for Artists #smwart
This week I had the pleasure of presenting a Social Media Week London event for artists.
Our host The Rabbit Agency produced a brilliant follow-up blogpost below summarising key points and audience feedback, incorporating Storify, Instagram and Twitter.
The seminar and panel discussion explored how and why artists are embracing social networks, not only to promote their work, but form partnerships, find and create opportunities and generate business value.

It’s been called the crack cocaine of digital consumption and sharing and I’m freebasing. I put off looking into Pinterest for a long time because from what I could see it was a schmaltzy, saccharine vehicle for females to…
