I can&#8217;t imagine all the folks who had dozens or more stories saved. My concern was mostly for the blog posts I had written and embedded a Storify. For the past few years I have been attending the Northwest&#8217;s computer in education conference and I had been using Twitter to at the same time share my learning and have some notes of my learning. Curating those notes with Storify was convenient and gave me a place to have all my notes.<\/p>\n<p>I heard of a couple of alternatives to Storify from <a href=\"http:\/\/larryferlazzo.edublogs.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Larry Ferlazzo<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.freetech4teachers.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Richard Byrne<\/a> that I saved on my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/educatoral_?query=storify\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Storify Diigo links<\/a>. I didn&#8217;t take action until way later because I was too busy at the time but now I am finding <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/educatoral\/moments\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter&#8217;s Moments<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/wakelet.com\/@AlfonsoGonzalez970\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wakelet<\/a> to be two awesome alternatives to Storify.<\/p>\n<p>At this year&#8217;s NCCE 2018 conference I took my notes on Twitter as usual and then put them together using Twitter&#8217;s Moment feature. It was as easy to do as Storify and I embedded my moment on my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.educatoral.com\/wordpress\/2018\/02\/19\/another-ncce-in-the-books-ncce18\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NCCE 2018 post<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Just today, I checked out <a href=\"https:\/\/wakelet.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wakelet<\/a> after receiving an email from <a href=\"https:\/\/wakelet.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wakelet<\/a> to check it out. I wasn&#8217;t expecting to see a button that read,<strong> Import From Storify<\/strong>. I clicked on the button, connected to my Storify account, chose Import All and that was it. Minutes later I got an email that all my stories were imported. Maybe mine were faster because I only had 13 stories but it was automatic, which I appreciate.<\/p>\n<p>So I went back through my blogs and replaced all my Storify stories with Wakelet. They were easy to embed and now look good such as my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.educatoral.com\/wordpress\/2017\/03\/27\/my-ncce17-takeaways\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NCCE 2017 notes<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know which of the two I like better. For one thing, I haven&#8217;t created a Wakelet from scratch, all I&#8217;ve done so far is import existing stories but I like it. I love services that are intuitive and easy to use. Anything that saves me time is a winner in my book.<\/p>\n<p>What have you used to replace Storify?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I first heard that Storify was stopping its services I too was wondering what I would replace it with, and I only had 13 stories saved on Storify!
