Being a content curator is all about displaying information. We don't create the content, we display it. We share it - and people read it. But, first you have to display it. There are several skills involved in displaying content. ... Approach friends, co-workers, content creators, and others with your Scoop.it feed. Would another blog/website find value in your content and Scoop.it feed and agree to put the code up somewhere on their site? How about content sharing or trade? If someone is warm to the idea but wavering, offer them a trade. Barter with something they would like — for instance you could give them the featured spot in your Scoop.it feed for a week, a month, etc. When you share a Scoop.it post do you just share with Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, or the other popular social media sites? While potentially valuable due to their market size, these sites are plastered with sharing, wall to wall. Look at other sources where you might actually be heard over the usual chaos. Consider something radical like posting your Scoop.it feed to your own site, or posting a link you found to a relevant forum where people are already discussing the topic. (Use your Scoop.it link instead of the direct link). A quick trick for sharing to Twitter from Scoop.it Twitter is my social media feed of choice. However, this means I am careful about what I post there when it comes to having a real post versus sharing and promoting anything. So, I get extra bang for my buck when I do choose to share a link from Scoop.it. Delete the scoop?

Last month the popular iPad app Flipboard added a great feature that allows everyone to curate their own digital magazines. Today, Flipboard made that option available on Android as well in web browsers on your computer. Flipboard Editor allows you to create and curate digital magazines through your web browser. Those magazines can be shared or kept private. The magazines you create can be read on iPad, Android, or on your laptop. Learn more about Flipboard Editor in the video below.

Curation is an irreplaceable part of the new content consumption and knowledge-sharing cycle just as passive readers are becoming an irreplaceable part of the curation cycle. This union is the ideal environment for smart, immensely valuable, and educational content on the web to proliferate and spread like wildfire, which ultimately what we want.

I'm getting a rather inflated, bloated, pop-worthy vision of the self-importance all our commenting leads us to each day now. I'm thinking I'm going to start wearing hats again... with a big hatpin... just in case I need to burst someone's self-inflated ego bubble lest they go pop on their own in a maniacal commenting frenzy. Hey! Sorry! That's just where all the tangenting eventually leads me, lol. Uhhh... to the point where my brain can grasp only a little lol... And to think... I used to be sooooo enthralled with "the meeting of the minds" when I sat down with my favorite authors... to read them... and I heard only their voice speaking directly to me. Nowadays, it seems I can't get a thought in edgewise, much less a personally acknowledged comments, with the author I use to have all to myself. Kinda takes the fun out of the old one-on-one author-reader mind-melds we use to have.

I’ve been listening to all the feedback from our awesome community about our newest service offering, the MailChimp Newsletter integration feature, and have been hearing that many people would like the option of sharing the newsletter with their social audiences. This would require hosting the completed newsletter somewhere online with a public link to share. Unfortunately, this functionality doesn’t exist within Scoop.it yet (not to say it won’t shortly), but I’ve concocted a little work-around for everyone who wants to share their newsletter this way. It requires an extra tool, but its all free and pretty easy to do, and the end result is great. We’ll be using a simple web-page creation tool called Weebly for the posting, and we’ll be using MailChimp to format the HTML for online display. We won’t actually send anything through MailChimp using this process, so no worries if it isn’t your email client of choice or you haven’t built a list yet. The most complicated thing in the process is a simple copy and paste, so don’t be afraid! Delete the scoop?

Information overload, information crap,information pollution...are some of the words that are being used now to describe the tsunami of irrelevant information we are bombarded with day and night.In December 2009, Google began customizing its search results for all users, and we entered a new era of personalization. With little notice or fanfare, our online experience is changing, as the websites we visit are increasingly tailoring themselves to us.Everywhere you turn you find information that seems relevant to you but in fact is nothing but crap. This is probably why Eli Pariser recommended what he called Information Bubble. Delete the scoop?

June 11, 9:22 PM
I supposed twitter can be used or any tool can be used for anything,but some tools are made with certain intended affordance by the creator that would make the tool less effective for certain functions. curation in a way is capturing things void of time (i probably drawing too much from museum), while twitter is fast pace timeline of interactive (or one way) discourse.... they seems to be inherently different.
i'm just automatically sceptical when 'one tool can be use for all' theme appear. but it is an interesting suggestion.

CratePlayer è una web app o un webware, come preferite, che consente la creazione di compilation audio e video dai numerosi social network e social media del web (youtube, vimeo, dailymotion, ecc.) e dai vari siti web. E' possibile farlo anche attraverso un apposito bookmarklet che consente di catturare il video desiderato in modo molto semplice.
E' inoltre possibile, per ogni raccolta creata, inserire una caportina, predisporre una descrizione, aggiugnere dei tag, configurarla come privata o pubblica, condividerla (Goggle+, Facebook, Twitter, ecc.), incorporarla.
Molto utile per la didattica in quanto consente di creare raccolte di video e/o audio da fonti diverse e su un deterimnato tema / argomento da fornire agli studenti per approfondimenti e per lo studio, senza dover fornire loro lunghe liste di link. Utile anche come esercizio da far svolgere agli studenti fornendo loro un tema sul quale ricercare fonti audio e video da oprganizzare e integrare in una raccolta

Taking "Fair Use" to the next level... CratePlayer is a web app which allows you to create compilations of video (and audio) clips coming from all your social media accounts as well as from YouTube, Vimeo, Dailymotion, Soundcloud or from any other website (a standard bookmarklet allows to easily grab video and audio content you find on the web.)
While it is not possible to upload your own files, it is possible to apply a visual cover, a description and relevant tags to each collection, which can be set to "private" or "public" depending on your needs. Furthermore you can invite additional persons to contribute to curate a specific collection.
Final collections can be easily shared on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Pinterest, via email, or can be embedded on any web site or blog. Delete the scoop?

Exploring Curation as a core competency in digital and media literacy education ... In his seminal white paper on participatory culture, media education scholar Henry Jenkins explored the capacity of new media technologies to facilitate critical inquiry, active exploration and vibrant dialog online. Wrote Jenkins et al. (2009): "Participatory culture is emerging as the culture absorbs and responds to the explosion of new media technologies that make it possible for average consumers to archive, annotate, appropriate, and recirculate media content in powerful new ways. A focus on expanding access to new technologies carries us only so far if we do not also foster the skills and cultural knowledge necessary to deploy those tools toward our own ends" (p8). Jenkins highlights the type of online activities that participatory spaces enable-archive, annotate, appropriate and recirculate-which occur in real time and in the context of abundant information flow. The habits that participatory technologies facilitate also offer a range of opportunities to facilitate more savvy information navigation, curation and appropriation. Jenkins (2006) identified a core set of key skills that "build on the foundation of traditional literacy, research skills, technical skills, and critical analysis skills taught in the classroom." (p4). The identified skills- play, performance, simulation, appropriation, multitasking, distributed cognition, collective intelligence, judgment, transmedia navigation, networking, and negotiation - have at their core the ability to engage multimodal inquiry, multimedia platforms, and information abundance through curation.

April 25, 8:11 PM
As Clair tweeted "a single twitter handle (AP's) is hacked and the Dow tumbles 150 points." Why? As she explains through a combination of automated trading and lack of social media usage by the traders. Technology is great. But I'm a firm believer that the best way to leverage it is not to let it go on auto-pilot but rather have its output curated by humans - a concept we like to call Humanrithm which we apply at Scoop.it, for instance when our discovery algorithm only makes content suggestions but lets users decide what gets published and what is not. Did we get lucky this time? Some people probably weren't and lost something in that story. But if we don't want SF movies to become real one day, we have to start educating and empowering everyone to curate social media.

Tous les outils quels qu'ils soient doivent être créés pour servir l'humain et non s'auto-gérer au-delà du raisonnable. Gardons cette éthique y compris dans les sytèmes de l'information et leurs processus. Quelques questions universelles peuvent nous aider à en faire le diagnostique et s'aplliquent à tous les systèmes ou projets:
1- Est ce que cela tiens la mer ? Est ce relié au monde des vivants ? (Approche)
2- Est ce bien fait ? ( Déploiement)
3- la boucle PDCA est elle bouclée et enrichie ? (Evaluation)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- All our tools should be created to serve humans and not to serve themselves. We must keep this ethical idea in mind for IT systems too. Universal questions should help us. They could be used to make the diagnostic of any system or project:
1- Does it stay afloat ? Is it linked with living world and specially human world ? (Approach)
2- Is it well done ? ( Deployment)
3- PDCA (Prepare, Start, Control, Secure) is complete ? (Assesment)

For the past few months, the team here at Scoop.it has been focusing on “taking curation beyond the platform,” our own little bit of rebellion against computer-only or anti-mobile curation tools and platforms. ... Lastly, some great news for you, the curators! We’ve decided to feature Scoop.it curators in the default topics on Read.it, which means every new user of the app could see your curation. Because the Scoop.it community of curators is what powers Read.it, we want to give back and say thank you for the amazing work you do. We think the best way to do that is to help you shine on the web and express yourself to an entirely new, untapped audience. We are currently hand-selecting the featured users — so do your best curating, let us know about it, and then you could end up being featured too! Feel free to reach out to me (clair@scoop.it) or Ally (ally@scoop.it) about being featured. We are very excited to announce this next step forward in taking curation “beyond the platform” and as always, are incredibly open to hearing your thoughts, opinions, and feedback. Let us know what you think in the comments!
Heiko Idensen's insight:
.... Interesting comments about the activity of curators: Apple featuring the Read.it app and subsequent exposure for featured curators is a game changer, for sure. My question would be: How are the powers that be differentiating between curators who just copy and paste a snippet as their 'insight' and those who genuinely adapt the source material to their niche, add value and enhance the 'curator' profile? As much as I think curation is a brilliant way of bringing news from your niche to your audience in your own way, I've seen far too many insights from curators that add little or nothing to the original article. My fear is that this will only lead to the media at large writing the curation sector off as a bunch of spammers and intellectual property (if not copywrite/copyright/plagiaristic) thieves. What measures are Scoop.it/Read.it taking to ensure the curators they feature won't be infringing some law, some place? Delete the scoop?
