    Twitter's made serious efforts to turn itself into more than just a social network: it wants to be the go-to tool for journalists searching for breaking news. Naturally, it makes sense for Facebook to follow suit as the two continue to play feature tag. Newswire is Zuckerberg & co.'s answer to Dataminr for News. It aggregates shared stories, photos and status updates that might be of interest to journalists and news organizations. This isn't just some haphazard collection of BuzzFeed lists and conspiracy blogs, though. The service is powered by Storyful, a company that specializes in filtering out the noise and delivering "valuable content" through a social newswire service.
