Beth Kanter celebrates my birthday by publishing this informative and well curated article for new content curators.
Beth summarizes key principles, her own suggested approach and some of the tools she recommends to use.
An enjoyable and informative read. Recommended.
P.S.: The link "explosion of tools" should realy link somewhere else in my humble opinion. Here is an updated map of all the content curation and newsmastering tools out there: http://www.mindmeister.com/55395228 ;

Beth Kanter interviewed Robin Good a few days ago, for the entire interview with Beth and Robin please click here: [http://bit.ly/y3bmPo]
Robin, I really enjoyed listening to you, I know this is aimed at non-profits but your insights, tips and suggestions are something we can all use.
Here are a few things that caught my attention:
**BEFORE you get on the web, decide how much time you're going to spend on there, otherwise it could become addictive, and this can happen if you're not careful (hmmm how many of you can relate to this?)
**Know who your audience is, pick a very specific topic,
**be as narrow as you can, find great pieces, pull out what you think would be relevant for them (being too broad doesn't help filter out the noise for these people, it adds to it)
I'm going to let you get right to the interview and let Robin tell you more:-)

Interesting interview, but one small point. Some curators are female!

Jan - thanks for scooping this. I learned a lot from this interview. I also transcribed it and have included what I think of some of Robin's "classic" curation resources!
