work. We’re a TV show and a website that tells the stories of our world through social media. Here on the website we’re using a tool called Storify to collect conversations from around the internet. Here, look – It’s a tweet from our host Derrick Ashong:Long day in the studio. Finally almost home. Plan: eat, sleep, do it again tomorrow. #Mondaylaunch #AJStreamashongAnd it’s not all text of course. Here’s Derrick on set:@ashong on the stream! @AJEstream http://yfrog.com/h81y5hijRanaAlKhatibAnd here's co-host Ahmed Shihab Eldin in video: ahmedfinal2hamoodirakanSo that’s how we tell stories. But what kind of stories do we want to tell? We’re telling the interesting and untold stories of our wired global world. You’ll see a few examples on our homepage and there will be plenty more in the weeks to come.We’re working hard to find these stories – but you’re a big part of this too. We want your help.
