Are people coming to your blog and leaving within a few seconds? If so, you have a “relevance” problem. You can publish well-written, literary masterpieces, but readers will still ignore them if they aren’t relevant to their immediate needs. Solving the relevance problem comes down to good old-fashioned research with an online twist.

This is a great piece by Heidi Cohen on why your marketing needs content curation and 12 attributes of a successful curation strategy. This is one of the best articles I've seen on this topic in a very long time.
As I said, I've seen many pieces on curation but if you're like me, everytime I read about this, I always find something new or am reminded of ways I can polish what I'm doing.
Here are some of the highlights.........
Intro:
Why Your Marketing Needs Content Curation
At its core, content curation is like a great editor or blogger who brings his unique taste and understanding of his target audience to his selection of the best content for his readers. **He provides context for the content so that it's more than a collection of information 3 Reasons your content marketing strategy needs content curation: 1. Offering your audience a combination of original and third party content provides a branded context for your work 2. Curating other people's content positions you and/or your organization as a tastemaker in your field 3. Creating sufficient content is a marketing and business challenge 12 Attributes of a successful content curation strategy: Here are a few things that caught my attention: *Has defined measurable goals As part of your content marketing strategy and by extension your marketing plan, content curation needs objectives that are associated with your business. **Targets a specific audience . *Content curation like other forms of content marketing requires understanding your readers' marketing persona
** Involves a community
*As with any social media or content marketing, your audience should be at the heart of your content efforts.
**Clay Shirky says it best:
"Curation comes up when people realize that it isn't just about information seeking, it's also about synchronizing a community" Selected and reviewed by Jan Gordon covering "Curation, Social Business and Beyond" Read full article here: [http://bit.ly/SpJEfQ} Via janlgordon, Beth Kanter 
Danielle M. Villegas's curator insight,

This is a really good article about content curation. There is nothing wrong with doing content curation, as it provides insight from multiple sources. As this article points out, the trick is curating content that adds value to whatever it is that you are adding the content to. In my case, it's my blog. I've followed most of these guidelines instinctively, because I want to provide quality information to share with fellow technical communicators and e-learning specialists.
Read this one carefully, as it's chock full of good advice. --techcommgeekmom

The concept that the CIO and CTO are on the way out, replaced by chief digital or chief data officer is ridiculus. It illustrates the craziness of the importance being put on social media or that tech can be managed by anyone. These people have not managed a tech department or understand what business process management is all about.
