Curate Your Favorite Content Into Visual Topic Channels with Topik.in


Via Robin Good
Stephen Dale's curator insight, April 27, 2015 8:34 AM

A news curation tool. A possible alternative to Scoop.it. Easier to use, but not as feature rich (e.g. lacks some of Scoop.it social sharing and publishing options)

 

Reading time: 5 mins

Joyce Valenza's curator insight, April 27, 2015 8:39 AM

A new curation tool, similar to Scoop.it, without the discover features.  Simple and promising for creating on-the-fly boards and organizing topical content. via @robingood

Curate Your Favorite Links Into a Weekly Email Newsletter with RefreshBox | APRENDIZAJE | Scoop.it

RefreshBox enables people to subscribe and create weekly 5-link-collection newsletters of their weekly professional best reads, tools or resources."

 

Robin Good:

 

Refreshbox offers a good opportunity for anyone wanting to warm up to content curation without needing to invest a truckload of time.

The new free service allows you to easily pick any webpage or resource you find online, and to add your personal title and description /commentary to it, while saving to a draft newsletter that will be sent out to your readers once a week.

Contrary to what is suggested on the "What's This" page on the Refreshbox site, I strongly recommend that you do not just pick but also introduce and contextualize the gems you find, that's the real-value you can provide, while Refreshbox takes care of providing free-of-charge: 

1. a web page for your curated newsletter(s), 

2. a searchable hub where others can find it and 

3. an easy-to-use subscription and distribution service without asking you anything in return.

 

Refreshbox allows you to place up to 5 links in each newsletter edition, and to hook up to other services (e.g.Product Hunt) to pick up your likes and preferences automatically and add them to your curated newsletter draft.

 

Excellent tool to warm-up to content curation by picking and collecting great resources to distribute via email.

Newsletter Curation: Top 6 Tools and Tips To Curate Your Own Weekly Newsletter

Newsletter Curation: Top 6 Tools and Tips To Curate Your Own Weekly Newsletter | APRENDIZAJE | Scoop.it

Given the amount of news, stories, tools, events and services that are being announced on a daily basis it is very difficult for anyone to resist the time-saving benefits of subscribing to a newsletter that finds and collects the most relevant items in the specific topic area he is interested into.

 

If you are a subject-matter expert, a coach, trainer or consultant, you need to monitor and track your field of interest anyhow, and if you learn to put aside, organise and properly collect the good gems you find during your scouting time, you can provide a really useful service to your readers and followers.

 

Furthermore there is no lack of tools web services that can help you carry out this task without needing to learn new or difficult skills.

 

Here are my personal six tips of advice and my favorite top six tools you need to check out, if you ever decide to start curating your own weekly newsletter:

 

 

Tips

 

a. Limit the number of curated items. Less is more. Three is plenty. Five is a lot. 

b. Provide concise but useful, tangible info.

 

c. Offer always as much context as possible. Why you are presenting this info. Who can use it, for what purpose. 

 

d. Find a thread and follow it. Have a strong focus. Don't mix too many different things without a clear focus or direction.  

 

e. Add your own voice. Make it heard. Comment. Express opinions. Take a stand.

 

f. Be timely and consistent. Choose a day and time and respect it.
