What is Content Curation? What is Content Curation? Content Curation is the act of discovering, gathering, and presenting digital content that surrounds specific subject matter. Though it is still considered a "buzz word" by many in the content world, content curation is now becoming a marketing staple for many companies with a successful online presence. Unlike content marketing, content curation does not include generating content, but instead, amassing content from a variety of sources, and delivering it in an organized fashion.

Content Curation versus Content Aggregation: A Velvet Mr. T Painting Two posts brought to my attention the discussion starting to take root about the worlds of content aggregation versus content curation. A post on the Poynter blog back in early October points to the work of journalists engaging in curation via Twitter as a way of “filtering the signal from the noise.” The phrase used was “curation is the new aggregation.” A more recent post on the Simple-talk.com blog by Roger Hart delves more into the world of content curation in a broader sense, stating that it is a bit of a flavor-of-the-month. I would disagree with that sentiment, having discussed this for years. My experience with curation is more specific. Daily, and sometimes twice daily, it is my job to draw from a set pool of content, radio programs’ arts and entertainment segments, and publish them into a CMS with text and audio. Over the past few years, publishing content in this manner makes me a curator of sorts. Curation and aggregation are similar in but a few ways. So. [velvet Mr.
People’s Insights Volume 1, Issue 2: Pinterest | People’s Lab – Crowdsourcing Insights & Innovation Few people expected Pinterest to be the smash-hit social network of 2011. It had strong competition in the form of Tumblr, Twitter and the more recent Google +, but the image-based social curation tool was on fire, making it to the Top 10 most visited social networks of the year.Pinterest’s mission statement summed it up well: Our Mission Our goal is to connect everyone in the world through the ‘things’ they find interesting. We think that a favorite book, toy, or recipe can reveal a common link between two people. With millions of new pins added every week, Pinterest is connecting people all over the world based on shared tastes and interests Pinterest allows users to organise and share things of interest found across the web in the form of ‘Pinboards’. People use Pinterest to bookmark things they like and share them with friends and followers. What really works for it, though, is the fact that it uses social bookmarking to aid ‘discovery’ through a collection of visuals. Rooshabh Doshi
Trapit Nouveauté Gmail : les correspondants ne sont plus automatiquement enregistrés dans les contacts | Presse-Citron Gmail vient de pratiquer un petit toilettage de son service et propose quelques nouveautés cosmétiques destinées à en alléger et faciliter l’usage. Parmi ces nouveautés on notera surtout une nouvelle option, qui permet de choisir maintenant si l’on souhaite que Gmail enregistre automatiquement tous ses correspondants dans les contacts pour une saisie semi-automatique ultérieure, ou si on souhaite le faire au cas par cas manuellement. Jusqu’à présent, toute personne à qui vous envoyiez un email était automatiquement enregistrée comme un contact. Une fonctionnalité très pratique mais qui pouvait conduire à une inflation très rapide et incontrôlée de votre liste de contacts, remplie partiellement de personnes avec qui vous n’avez échangé qu’une fois dans votre vie, et qui ne sont ni vos amis ni même des relations professionnelles intéressantes. Avec cette nouvelle option, Gmail permet donc de désactiver cette fonction parfois quelque peu envahissante. (source)
How Educators Use Pinterest for Curation Digital Tools Jody Strauch By A. Adam Glenn The phenomenal growth of Pinterest has sparked interest among millions of users. It’s also spread to journalism educators, who are increasingly experimenting with it in the classroom. The social network launched two years ago, but in recent months has drawn red-hot excitement for its unique visual, topic-based curation approach. Now journalism school faculty are increasingly in on the act. One early adopter was University of Southern California’s Andrew Lih, who last October, long before he and many others knew the site would become a blockbuster, introduced it to online students in an entrepreneurial class to gather what he called a “mood board” for a project on public art. Aggregating images to share with students is an increasingly common classroom use for the tool. Jody Strauch at Northwest Missouri State University has used Pinterest to show good design work to her media design classes. Pinterest is not without its drawbacks.

30+ Cool Content Curation Tools for Personal & Professional Use As the web becomes more and more inundated with blogs, videos, tweets, status updates, news, articles, and countless other forms of content, “information overload” is something we all seem to suffer. It is becoming more difficult to weed through all the “stuff” out there and pluck out the best, most share-worthy tidbits of information, especially if your topic is niche. Let’s face it, Google definitely has its shortcomings when it comes to content curation and the more it tries to cater to all audiences, the less useful it becomes. The demand for timely, relevant content that is specific to our unique interests and perspectives has given rise to a new generation of tools that aim to help individuals and companies curate content from the web and deliver it in a meaningful way. Here’s a look at over 30 content curation tools (mostly free, but some paid/professional tools as well) that will help you cut through the clutter of your information stream to find the gems.

2013's Top Android Apps In a year that saw Google Play finally pass the one million milestone in terms of live apps, it’s fair to say there’s a deluge of file-managers, smart calendars, funky cameras, games and more to sift through to get to the real gems. So here’s a quick snapshot of some of the more notable apps to launch for Android in 2013. For the most part, these are all available globally, though a handful are restricted to certain markets – these are clearly marked. F**k it, we'll do it live! Our biggest ever edition of TNW Conference is fast approaching! In no particular order… Cal To-do list startup Any.DO spun out a brand new smart calendar app called Cal this year, representing the “first in a suite” of standalone apps from the Israel-based company. It’s worth noting that although it is indeed a ‘standalone’ app, insofar as it’s a separate entity to Any.DO, there is actually a fairly tight integration between the two apps – so you will be asked to sign-in using your Any.DO credentials. ➤ Cal Simplenote
