Scoop.it : Curating Made Easy, Social Sharing With Wings.

Scoop.it : Curating Made Easy, Social Sharing With Wings. | Kevin I Mills | Scoop.it

"As startup marketers, we particularly seek solutions to cut through crowds of content to engage more than just friends and followers, but much larger (incremental) audiences drawn to the same topics and interests. And then there was Scoop.it: curating made easy, content sharing with Red Bull (ish) wings."

 

Michelle Fitzgerald, the founder of Get Scrappy interviewed me last week as part of her "Think Big, Act Small" series which focuses on Content Marketing for Startups and SMB's with industry innovators.

 

We talked about the interest graph, what Scoop.it brings to it and how startups can leverage it.

Bonjour Olivier. Même si j'y perds mon latin j'ose espérer que la situation est redevenue normale. En ce qui concerne l'orientation donnée à ce Scoop-It, j'aime bien venir tous les jours le consulter.

Merci, Denise et Pierre ; je n'avais pas de crise existentialiste sur le sujet et rebondissais juste, sur l'article, en avouant que je n'utilisais pas Scoop.it comme il s'était vu. Mais c'est ça : créer ; les gens, ensuite font ce qu'ils sentent... Si j'ai paru énervé ou je ne sais, c'était à cause de la panne de Twitter que l'on pouvait prendre pour une attaque d'extrémistes... Bonne soirée à vous !

Excellent Examples of Content Curation by Vertical Measures

Excellent Examples of Content Curation by Vertical Measures | Kevin I Mills | Scoop.it

In today’s ever changing world of SEO, one thing has remained the same; quality and relevant content is crucial for your websites overall success. However, creating original content isn’t always needed; sometimes finding existing content and using it in an organized and informative fashion can also be an effective strategy. The practice is called “Content Curation”, and it has become a very powerful form of information across the web.

Curation - Robin Good Interviews Futurist Ross Dawson

Curation - Robin Good Interviews Futurist Ross Dawson | Kevin I Mills | Scoop.it

Master Curator Robin Good interviews Futurist Ross Dawson. Here is an excerpt from article:

"Robin asked him: 

a) what he suggests to people who want to "make sense of the world", when bombarded by such large amounts of information. How do you make sense of how things are?

b) What is "curation"?

c) Is there any difference between personal, serendipitous social sharing and content curation?

d) What is the key discriminator between the two?

 

Ross Dawson answers: 

a) One of the best ways to make sense of the world is scenario planning or scenarios, where you build a number of worlds for what might happen and that's relevant to you and to use these as filters...

As you look at that and see new things, that's an enormously valuable filter around what is interesting, what is useful, what I need to pay attention to, and what I don't...

 

b) Curation is selecting what is relevant, selecting what is interesting... ...and this is now becoming almost overwhelming in terms of how many people are doing that.

 

Ultimately, [the goal is to reach a point] where I can wake up in the morning and I can say I know I have seen the most interesting and relevant things for me.

We're a long way away from that.

 

c) Sometimes, they can overlap, but [a curator] is usually [someone] saying, "I'm in a particular area. I am the expert. I know what there is. I'm doing that for people who are interested that topic, people I want to demonstrate my expertise too."

 

d) There's three, perhaps, [types of] intent.

1) One is to contribute to others, to give.

2) Another is to develop your own expertise. I think that's one of the ways to be able to search for and share things actually does make you know more, and I think that's very valid.

3) [The third one, which] is equally valid, though perhaps a little too overdone at the moment, is just people curating so that people look at them..."
