Ahora ya no hace falta disponer de un Ipad o una tablet o smartphone para realizar nuestra propia revista en Flipboard, ya que con el nuevo editor online en la web de esta conocida herramienta, podremos realizar nuestra propia curación desde nuestro ordenador.
Este vídeo nos da una pequeña introducción de como empezar a usar este editor en la web de Flipboard, mediante el botón o "bookmarklet" que se puede instalar en la barra de favoritos de nuestro navegador para ir capturando los contenidos que nos parezcan interesantes para nuestra publicación.

This is a great idea although I don't see where, from just reading the description of what it does, where it's any different than Reel Surfer or Keeeb or probably even a few others.
There's no doubt, however, that curating and aggregating video content can be a beneficial service to lots of niches.....etc. specific styles of cooking, auto repair, golf tutorials, dancing (e.g. videos on 'cross body lead').
I'll definately subscribe to the site and try it out. I'll sell you what I wish I cold find: I wish I could find a tool that made it really easy to insert notes that would display at specific points in vidoes. A lot of times I see videos where most of it it not interesting but a certain portion of it is.
Alexander King's comment,
May 9, 8:16 PM
@wanderingsalsero: Simple. Reel Surfer and Keeeb do not allow you to have a persistant, global playlist. Also Keeeb isn't just focused on playable media.. it's a lot of different things. The "liner notes" that you are referring to are a feature that is coming soon to CratePlayer!
GIANFRANCO MARINI's curator insight,
May 10, 5:04 PM
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

Therese Torris's insight:
I don't know about you but I've recently noticed a lot of spam among the comments on Scoop.it. Every time I spotted one, I've tried to notify the Scoop.it ticket/helpdesk who has been very responsive.
Would it help if we all do the same ?
Should Scopp.it add a spam button ?
gdecugis's comment,

Hi Therese - So you're totally right and we might have passed a threshold in traffic as we recently saw over the past few days a dramatic increase of spam in suggestions and comments. Here's an update I posted on this:
gdecugis's comment,
May 2, 11:51 PM
I wanted to give you a follow-up update on the spam issues some of you reported these past few days.
Might be a sign of success but we did effectively get a lot more spammers than we used to. The problem we had was repeat spam from single accounts and different than what we had before. These accounts were created manually by humans (not bots) and exploited the comment or suggestion system to spam repeatedly at a very high rate a few number of successful topics (so including a lot of yours).
Today, we launched a radically new system to fight that. Most of this is backend and on our end and it still relies on our community deleting spam comments or suggestions and most importantly helping us identify spammers by checking the "mark as spam" option. What happens following that is totally new and though you won't see it as behind the scenes, we feel pretty good it's going to be much more efficient for the whole community.
Thanks again for having helped us understand the intensity of the problem and sorry you had to suffer from it. We're committed to keep Scoop.it free of spam and we're grateful to count on your support for that.

[...] In this blog post, I am primarily going to focus on the decided on a content curation tool based on the venue – the channels to which your content is curated... [...] A sound content curation strategy utilizes all of the venues and channels, but drives all visitors back to a single microsite. If you’re using a robust content curation platform then you should be able to easily syndicate your content to all channels with ease..."

The first three metrics refer to “the number of articles produced … during a given time period, an average length of an article [and] the importance of coverage from the news source.” These favor large publishers, but they select for originality and focus as well.
Google is actually “counting the number of original sentences”
[...] The “breaking news score” is a metric of how quickly a publisher jumps on a story.
[...] The next three factors, usage patterns, human opinion and circulation statistics, are different ways of assessing popularity.
[...] In a further nod to “legacy media,” metrics eight and nine measure the number of individual bylines associated with a news source as well as the number of news bureaus. Unclear how much this will affect head counts at large publishers.
What do you think?

Therese Torris's insight:
These conclusions are more straightforward thant the original Monday Note on the topic which concluded : "A closer look at Google’s patent for its news retrieval algorithm reveals a greater than expected emphasis on quality over quantity."

A Toronto-based media website Newsana is opening public beta testing today; it is a social platform for news junkies that curates the highest quality content possible, as voted on by its users.
From "FAQ" page:
"Newsana is an community of passionate people who are dedicated to finding and discussing quality news and ideas from around the world. Our members share and vote on their favourite stories which determines the Top 5 Essential Stories of the day from a variety of topics.
It’s not new to have a community based on finding and sharing news, but only Newsana creates a community for quality minds to share quality content.
This is done by:
- Filtering out the noise. We provide members with an easy guide to the Top 5 Essential Stories per topic, not a shotgun blast of information that’s impossible to keep up with.
- Elevating the conversation.
- Higher standards. We don’t have an open door policy; our members must apply and show they are passionate about making the Internet a better place.
By focusing our activity on finding Top 5 Essential Stories in any given topic, we’re bringing much-needed context, and smart conversation, to the often chaotic online news landscape.
In order to maintain that quality and make sure our community standards are upheld, we require that everyone who pitches a story is a Newsana member..."

- Content Distribution:
Repost lets bloggers, publishers, and brands distribute their content to new audiences.
- Content Discovery:
Find news, features, videos, and more to repost on your site. And it's free.
Repost allows you to republish complete articles (including images, links, & multimedia) anywhere quickly, easily, and legally – just like video.
With Repost, you can distribute your content to other publishers, bloggers, and websites. You can also discover a broad range of content to repost on your own site. Whether you’re distributing, discovering, or both, why do you need Repost? That’s easy: More readers, more reach, more revenue.
Repost: it’s syndication reimagined; it’s the wire service reinvented; it’s changing the way content goes viral."
Excerpted from review article on Mashable:
"Repost.Us, a free service that launched earlier this week, provides publishers with a platform to share and embed full articles in the same way that YouTube lets users embed video clips. Websites can add a Repost button to their articles, which others can click on to re-publish all of the content in the article — along with videos, the original publisher's advertising and branding, and any updates to the article that occur afterwards. Repost also provides a directory of content that publishers can search through and publish on their own website.
In short, the goal for Repost, is to make it easy for big and small publishers to profit from sharing complete articles as it is for content producers to share and profit from videos using the embed code from websites like YouTube..."
