If you’re looking into live blogging using Storify, a few things i would suggest are:
1. to definitely sign up for a Twitter account if you don’t have one. Twitter is the most accessible social media site when using Storify. It is much easier to find the things you’re looking for.
2. Check to make sure that your phone is capable of using apps like Twitter.
3. Also check to make sure you don’t have any problems uploading pictures to your Twitter account from your phone. Do a test run before the actual event so you’re not frustrated the day of because you can’t figure it out. If it doesn’t work, look into apps you can download to easily upload photos to your account.
4. Tell your friends who you know are attending the event to post under “#whateveryouwant” so everything for the event is organized and easily searchable.
5. Make sure to make posts and take lots of pictures while you’re there. It’s better to have too much than not enough.
Now that you’ve seen an example and gotten a few tips, try it! See what happens! You may find that live blogging is your niche.
