Pagina Uno's curator insight,

Curatori rappresentano un nuovo tipo di leadership tribale che opera dal basso e peer to peer. Come membro di una tribù, curatori saranno sempre più nativo e rilevanti rispetto a qualsiasi outsider saranno mai. All'interno di una tribù sono apprezzati non solo per sfruttare le loro abilità di insider, ma per sostenere e sviluppare la loro cultura.

Reminds me of the 'attention economy' in Geert Lovink's book "No Comment" I am reading just now for my research:
"In the attention economy, value is measured in the amount of time you happen to spend with any given media object or person. This can bea web site, watching your favorite show on television, text messaging afriend, talking on the phone, or blogging about the concert you attended-last night. For a long time the attention economy remained a hyped-upconcept, launched during the speculative 1990s to point to the shift fromthe production of tangible goods to immaterial services. The point thatmakes attention such an interesting commodity is the fact that it is soscarce. As Michael Goldhaber Writes in his 1996 Principles of the NewEconomy: "Attention is scarce because each of us has only so much of it to give, and it can come only from us-not machines, computers or anywhere else. Attention is another way of saying "time," as in "Where I choose to spend my time."

Crap detection for content curators. Is it time for everyone who shares stuff they find on the Internet to think of themselves as content curators. Beats being a rumor monger or Typhoid Mary of misinformation.

Robin Good's insight:
If you are interested in what could be a good workflow and set of tools to use to curate content on your own WordPress blog, Nathan Weller has a must-read article for you.
In it, he dissects and explains the tools he uses to curate content on WordPress, from how he aggregates and browses RSS feeds, to how he filters, edits and actually curates the content of each post.
Interestingly his focus is on quality, not on having his site populated by lots of "somewhat relevant" content pulled in automatically by one of the many "content marketing"-oriented curation tools available today.
I think you will find several interesting ideas that you may have not considered on how to approach your curation workflow, let alone checking the several insightful comments at the end.
Lost of valuable information, resources, examples and advice. 8/10

I think like all curation tools, you need to find what works for you. If you have time investigate the next thing if not, stick with what you know.

This educator describes how Scoop.it can be the tool by which you teach students to gather, manage, and evaluate information. I 100% agree with his caveat at the bottom that Scoop.it doesn't do the teaching but because it is so simple and seamless and allows for so much interaction and feedback between student curator and instructor, it is the perfect medium for it.
