20 best-kept secrets for finding content to share
Whether you're a brand or an individual, consuming and sharing unique content is the best way to maintain your online freshness. Although the Web is a big place, locating quality content that is original is no easy task. A good example is anything published by Mashable. Yes, Mashable serves up quality content on a regular basis, but due to its large readership and avid fan base, sharing Mashable content isn't especially useful as the communities you operate in have probably read and shared the article. So, what's the answer? There's no silver bullet solution to this challenge, but there are some great online information sources that can help. Here are 20 that I refer to on a regular basis: Thoora.com. SimilarSites.com. YouTube Trends Dashboard. Business Insider's “Chart Of The Day.” NetVibes.com. Trunk.ly. +1's / Likes / Favorites. Newser.com. TweetDeck columns. Alltop.com. Wikio.com. Extension Factory. Knowem.com Networks. Niche social news sites. Bookmarking sites. Hub Pages (Topics).

Depending on the medium you use to present it, this may include your own comments about the curated articles. While it is important to create your own original content for your company’s social media outlets, one way to broaden the amount of content your provide to your network is to share content of others.

Again, this would only be the best content about the theme, or maybe the most interesting or thought-provoking.

The Best Places To Create (And Find) Internet Scavenger Hunts & Webquests There seems to be a fair amount of confusion about the definition of a “Webquest.” Bernie Dodge, who originated the model in 1995, described it like this in a comment on this blog last year: “A critical attribute of a WebQuest is that it engages higher level thinking, the upper part of Bloom’s taxonomy.
