Scooped by Therese Torris onto Content Curation Tools |
Scoop.it!
Therese Torris's insight:
Yummy Yummy !
Great deal
I had just started a Pinterest board of my favorite recipes from marmiton.org, France's best social recipe sharing site. The way Punchfork sends traffic to cooking blogs and other sources is that it publishes the picture and the ingredients but you have to go to the source to read the recipe

This purchase by Pinterest is interesting. We can assume Pinterest has amazing metrics on what really works on its content network. Does it buy a celebrity gossip rag or art magazine? No, it confirms one of my reactions to Pinterest - Pinterest is a foodie's dream.
Another thing I like about this purchase is the statement it makes about the importance of platform curation and curation in general. He who creates the place where conversations are had and mashed up wins. Here was my take on the death of websites and the rise of platforms from more than a year ago:
