Great use of Storify by FC Barcelona to mark Messi milestone

Storify has been a round for a while now but is still underused by many.  It’s a great way of bringing Twitter conversations around an event or involving several people into one easy-to-read place.

After Barcelona’s 7-0 thumping of Osasuna in La Liga yesterday (Sunday 16th), in which Leo Messi made history became the highest scoring FC Barcelona player of all time with 371 goals. The club put together a Storify on their website that showed the players congratulating each other on Twitter to mark Leo’s landmark and also the massive win.

It’s a simple way in which to give fans extra content that they will enjoy viewing.  Other clubs have used the platform on a regular basis and it has been a key tool around Twitter chats and events for some time.  It will be interesting to see if it begins to become more regularly used or remain a sporadic platform used on a when-needed basis for a quick story or to celebrate an occasion such as this.

Do you or your team use Storify? Let us know in the comments box at the bottom of this page about how/when you use it…
