Connects your social media accounts to create one web page.

Re us e yo ur live -t we e t ing e ffo rt s . Feed your tweets or an event hashtag into a RebelMouse page, and embed it on your site. It’s a great way to extend that coverage to non-Twitter users.

It’s more elegant than simply embedding a Twitter widget. And compared to the nearest alternative, Storify, RebelMouse can be automated and its presentation places the focus o n t h e c o n t e n t  that you share, rather than the format in which it’s shared.

“I used RebelMouse on Election Night and on debate nights during the 2012 elections,” Huffington Post senior editor Craig Kanalley told me. “I tweeted the best things I was finding from around the Web in terms of coverage, including the best photos and what other news organizations were doing, and it turned into a nice hub highlighting coverage. … It’s a really nice alternative ‘live’ platform outside of live blogging and live video.”

Curat e a big s t o ry . You can feed tweets from a hashtag or a Twitter list into a RebelMouse page to automatically curate coverage of a major event. Or you can have those tweets saved as drafts that you pre-approve before they appear on your page.
