Cory Booker's #Waywire Becomes A “Pinterest For Video” With Refocus On Curation
Summary
But with today’s update the beta recenters around you collecting videos from YouTube, Vimeo, Vine and news sites into themed playlists. But shooting a newscast is tough work that creates a big barrier to user participation, and people have zplenty of news sources and behavior patterns already. #waywire is now piping in content from 200 trusted sources including BedRocket Media, CollegeHumor, HuffPost Live, Refinery29, Slate, The Young Turks, and more. Vines get the bottom of their portrait shape cut off by #waywire’s landscape player, and there appeared to be no way to add existing videos you’d shared to a specific wire. Still, there is no doubt in my mind that watching a curated video playlist assembled by an expert is an extraordinarily efficient way to learn about something.
