FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda 
Qwikstory wants its users to tell a story — but not necessarily their own story.
The newly developed site works like a giant game of telephone. The first user begins their story thread — each post is limited to 1,000 characters — and after that any other user can continue the tale.
Though the original thread creator has access to deny additions to the story, they can’t continue their own story unless someone else has added a section. It’s classic storytelling, just with a social network twist.
Qwikstory is meant to foster a sense of teamwork and personal thought, creator B.E. McFadden tells Mashable.
McFadden says he grew restless with the atmosphere of traditional social networking that encouraged the sharing of “useless information” and didn’t require a great deal of communication, reading or writing skills.
“I wanted to come up with a concept that combines the good aspects of Facebook and Twitter while also trying to give people the opportunity to interact with their friends in a creative way,” McFadden says.
The site provides great opportunity for use in educational environments in which classrooms can collaboratively and virtually work on concepts like writing. McFadden adds the site is also a good opportunity for non-English speakers to practice their reading and writing skills in a more connected manner.
Qwikstory features a list of the “hot” or “top” stories so users can easily see the stories getting the most traffic. The site also integrates with Facebook to directly post story updates to a Facebook profile. The story threads can also be made private and only accessible if invited by the creator.

But mostly, McFadden hopes his site will encourage the fun, imagination and inspiration he used to experience while making stories up with his friends and “just seeing what direction they went in.”
“Wouldn’t it be great to rely more with other people to put something together so they can reconnect that way,” McFadden says.
