Story Follower is in essence a user-curated news story subscription service. People who read the news can submit and/or subscribe to stories. As new articles are added, they are alerted based on their preferences.
Articles are grouped together under “storylines” that users can follow. Storylines are essentially topics that related articles are added to. For example, if you are subscribed to the storyline for “Ticketmaster,” you would receive alerts of RSS updates for any articles about Ticketmaster that are added under that storyline.
It’s a unique way for people who read the news to get updates on stories that they are interested in.
Storylines can be anything from headline news to more obscure topics that you would have to either find by luck, search for manually or create a search filter to receive updates on. With Story Follower, the idea is to let the news reading community let you know when there is a story you want to know about.

I am excited to see how it's going to be used and look forward to any testers/users I can get.
Thanks again,
