Content Curation Tools

If you look at the industry in which content curation tools and services have had the most leeway so far, that would be positively fashion, and, in my impression, by a good margin over the rapidly growing education/learning sector.

The fashion industry has embraced digital curation wholeheartedly more than any other sector so far, because of its strong visual element (the same one that has popularized the curation concept thanks to tools like Pinterest), and thanks to the natural inclination that fashion customers have for picking, collecting and sharing their unique preferences and combinations.

In this visual collection I have brought together the most interesting examples of curation at work in the world of fashion. Tools, services, communities, brands and products, all working together to filter, aggregate, pick and create relevant "selections" for the infinite number of tribes out there.

Love Flipboard. This new feature opens up a whole new world for content curation.

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.

now this is really cool and useful.

Could be a few second tier social media networks to help drive your social media campaigns.

Videry is a great example of video curation at work.

Videry is a hand-curated collection of over 30 great video clips for web designers.

The beauty and value of this collection, in the context of curation is in the following:

• The quality of the clips selected
  
  
• A clean, and simple layout - content over looks
  The essence is in the selection made and that's why it needs to stand out.
  
  
• The essential info is upfront - video thumbnails + title + description
  no other distractions.
  
  
• A Pinterest-like simmetrical visual layout that allows easy scanning of the page

Where it could do better:

• Titles: no personalization for context - titles in the collection are exactly as the originals - the curator here could have improved and contextuaized titles for this collection, while keeping a good reference, visible to everyone, of the original one.
  
  
• Descriptions: these are the original video descriptions. No additions, no opinion, no contextualization. The curator could have written his own descriptions from these in the context of this collection, while leaving the original descriptions as an extra option (since they are all already accessible under the original video location).
  
  
• No visibile authorship for the collection.

P.S.: I think this clean design used in this collection is so effective that I wish there was a service prividing the ability to create curated video collections with such information design elegance.

This is a cool new tool for "video curation".

Interesting.  Is this the death of RSS?

Thanks for sharing Robin!

I liked the definition of Curation from Tome George (author of the piece):

"A content curator is someone who finds, organizes, presents and shares valuable information (content) in many forms, on a specific topic, in a way that provides special context and or a unique engagement with his or her readers. In actuality when done correctly, over time it positions the curator as an expert in his or her respective field and defines their reputation as a thought leader. A good curator will mix curation with his or her own original content, to give interpretations for the express purpose of allowing others to form their own conclusions."

I have been testing it for a bit and pretty pleased with the results. Looking to expand a bit more before fully committing but almost there.

Now I know why my google alerts are hit and miss...time for a "cool change".

Thank you Robin for sharing. I use the site for my research. I set my key research terms. Talk Walker Alerts works great!

Fabulous - and so useful for librarians!

O Google já tem substituto: Blekko.

This looks fantastic!

Se ve genial la herramienta, la probaré y les cuento!
