It's also has a really interesting back and forth narrative structure that balances emotional experiences and intellectual opinion.

Article looking at the underlying stories in web experiences. There's probably a simpler way of looking at this issue than this but it's still pretty interesting.

There's a bit of a link to something else about non-linear narrative I bookmarked a while ago - http://prezi.com/kfkrplxfy-tn/non-linear-storytelling/

From John Hagel, a thoughtful look at narrative as a "pull" mechanism - a way of engaging and motivating people. The distinction between story and narrative here is not one I'd drawn previously.

For interest, have a look down the comments for Donald Clark's contribution. Although his insistence that there are more interesting forms of non-narrative learning I can't agree with his conclusion that "storytelling sucks". Especially with his sports example, yes it's a participative  and unpredictable but sport is surrounded by narrative, either social (e.g. recounting a disasterous season in the premiere league for your team) or individual (e.g. developing skill over time to become a better sportsperson).

Given that Wikileaks has announced that Saudi Arabia may have overstated its oil reserves by 40%, we might want to look at the outcomes of this social experiment!

Fascinating bit of group storytelling and social participation to imagine a world as it enters an oil crisis.

Counter piece to the other blog post on signs of drowning (bit grim, sorry) in my Digital Storytelling list to show how much more impactful information is when tied to a narrative.

An example of digital storytelling using a range of social media. Storify, still in beta and requiring an invite (which I don't have yet, boo!), allows a user to aggregate different items of social media to create a narrative experience on a topic.
This is an example by will Allen at JISC Netskills

Example of storytelling to create an emotional response about a real world issue. Somehow, a powerpoint or something more straightforward wouldn't have been as memorable.
