Another big school-related milestone for Pace… (Man, I loved getting books from Scholastic as a kid!)
Not sure if you saw but Ryan Meili’s campaign is using Storify, a cool little tool that allows people and organizations to easily create a chronological timeline, pulling in content from Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Google and other sources.
