Filtering the Social Web to Present News Items [NYTimes]

News events as varied as the commercial jet landing in the Hudson
River and the uprisings in Egypt have demonstrated that people armed
with cellphones — not professional reporters — are often the first
source of breaking news, uploading Twitter posts, photos and video to
the Web. But the result can leave people drowning in too much
information. A Web start-up named Storify, which opens to the public
Monday, aims to help journalists and others collect and filter all
this information.
