Storify (http://storify.com) is a way to tell stories using social media such as Tweets, status updates, photos and videos. Users can search lots of social networks from one place, drag individual elements into a single storyline, and add text to give context. This winter, McKenna Haley from Seattle University’s Project on Family Homelessness (https://www.facebook.com/SUProjectOnFamilyHomelessness) used Storify to tell the story of the Washington’s Housing and Homelessness Advocacy Day. McKenna joined us to talk about her experience with the free version of the tool.

At Firesteel, we experiment with a lot of new media tools as we advocate for an end to homelessness. The purpose of the Spark Change podcast is to share what we've learned, and to help other advocates use these tools. Visit http://firesteelwa.org/ to learn more and share your feedback.
