Paper.li

"Paper.li extracts tweets that include URLs and extracts the content found on these URLs from people you follow. It creates sections, based on categories, and publishes a daily “newspaper” around your community. By entering search queries, you can narrow the scope of tweets brought into your paper. This can be done with keywords, hashtags or usernames."

Storify

"Storify can turn social media into a coherent narrative"

Pinterest

"Pinterest is about empowering visual curators. As they explain it: “We know you have great taste in something. Our mission is to make Pinterest the best place for you to share your taste with the world.”"
