Storify your strip search

When we first launched PostPost, there was a way to curate what you found into collections that we then called postposts. After kicking around in alpha scrambling to maintain and improve our custom search and curation features—and despite the heart-sinking feeling that came from the prospect of slaughtering one of our darlings—we killed off the curation functionality in order to focus all of our effort on what we had learned was our core strength and greatest value to users: search. 

It was the right move. But it was a sad moment.

We put our heads down to make search better. We were happy with our progress there, but we still missed being able to make stuff out of what we found on PostPost. And then one day the clouds broke. Our spirits were lifted when out of nowhere the good people at Storify dropped the Storify button on us.

We're pleased to announce that once again you can curate what you find on PostPost. The Storify button is there for you, behind each and every Tweet you find.

Click it and a simple tool pops up that makes it easy to drop the Tweet into a new or existing Storify.

If you're a Storify user, you know that they have great real-time search engines baked into their product. But they don't have a way to find new and older stuff from the people you follow. That you do on PostPost

With the Storify button, now all of us can curate and save what we find here and there.

If you haven't tried Storify yet, give it a look. It's our favorite way to curate Twitter. But you don't have to take our word for it: see what your timeline has to say about Storify.
