  Twitter has become one of the main sources of news for many people. As
real-world events and emergencies unfold, Twitter is abuzz with hundreds of
thousands of stories about the events. Some of these stories are harmless,
while others could potentially be life-saving or sources of malicious rumors.
Thus, it is critically important to be able to efficiently track stories that
spread on Twitter during these events. In this paper, we present a novel
semi-automatic tool that enables users to efficiently identify and track
stories about real-world events on Twitter. We ran a user study with 25
participants, demonstrating that compared to more conventional methods, our
tool can increase the speed and the accuracy with which users can track stories
about real-world events.
