Rescooped by Therese Torris from Social Media Content Curation onto Content Curation Tools |
Scoop.it!
Therese Torris's insight:
I wonder: Isn't the proliferation of discovery tools a self-defeating proposition? If there are more curation platforms than original sources, how is that going to help?
Just a thought ...

Therese Torris's insight:
I'd say this type of wordpress plugin like Zemanta, MyCurator etc. are indispensable for a professional Wordpress blogger or curator

Mark Tilly, developer of the MyCurator WordPress Plugin, does a good job in suggesting how, content curation tools, like the one he has developed, can be effetively utilized to keep tabs on your competition and what it is up to. "You can build an automated ‘competitive research portal’ that will provide a weekly roundup of key, targeted articles to your executive team." He provides basic steps, advice and recommendations for what to check and monitor and how to make this information useful inside your company network. Good basic stuff. Useful. 7/10

Allows 2 topics or equivalent to 2 Wordpress categories at no charge. Note Wordpress versions supported 3.3 up to 3.5 only.

I have added access to scoop.it to my Webstuff2.wordpress.com site, to begin this process. Not sure yet if a plug-in is necessary. Delete the scoop?

Just a (provocative) thought ...
About your thought, there is surely an increase of discovery tools and curation platforms, but those are still few, really reliable and continuous development (as Scoop.it).
About the original sources, today they are an infinite universe which daily grows unabated.
