This piece was written by Jeff Turner, it makes you STOP and think. Pinterest is the latest new shiny thing but as Jeff says, buyer beware. His insights are right on the money. He asks us to know the enviornment before we start posting and promoting. Here's an excerpt: The Pinterest Stream And Fools Gold Avoid Self Promotion: "Pinterest is designed to curate and share things you love. If there is a photo or project you’re proud of, pin away! However, try not to use Pinterest purely as a tool for self-promotion". Here are the takeaways: My advice here is going to be the same advice I give people in any new social network... go have some fun first. **Be social. Get to know the community, the lay of the land. The rest will sort itself out. **The first thing that happens when the real estate community for example, "discovers" a new social media site is they focus on the media, not the social. This is a mistake. It leads to mining in the wrong streams.

This piece was written by Ric Williams, COO of Empire Avenue. For those of you who are on Empire Avenue, you will want to hear about this news. For those of you who are not participating in this great social network, the following statistic effects everyone doing business on line.
****These predictions were not made by me, I choose to remain open, no matter what video will play an important role in how users consume content.
****By 2015, 90% of all internet traffic will be video.
****YouTube streams 3 Billion hours of video a month; that is 30 minutes of video for every man, woman and child on the planet. Wow!
Here's the takeaway for all you Empire Avenue fans:
**** It is becoming more difficult to drive people to your content and engage them just because of the sheer amount of content that is now on YouTube.
****Missions have proven incredibly powerful for driving engagement with online content, and this is just one way we’re improving the feature.
**This release will be the first of a few that we will release over the coming weeks with a similar theme, i.e. giving the creator traceability and help them to better engage people in their content.
My comments:
It's important to learn and understand how all these networks fit together, how significant video and Youtube will be in the years to come and what ways you can leverage this to grow and build your audience. It's a learning curve for many but it's worth the time and effort.
In today's marketplace, you have to build community and good will, and Empire Avenue is one of many ways to do it.

This piece was written by Sean Platt for his blog. It is full of great information on how to use twitter and build a community of people which can result in tremendous opportunities for you. Intro: Because attention is so easy to gather on Twitter, and because your follower count can climb with the speed of a soaring stock, you might find yourself falling into the too typical trap of thinking Twitter’s purpose is to gather as much attention as possible. It’s not. **Attention is great, but it’s only the end result of getting what you’re really after – quality relationships. Here's what caught my attention: **The best way to get the most from your Twitter conversations is to understand the ecosystem. **Twitter isn’t a chat, it’s a never-ending party. **When you have a conversation with someone, one-on-one, the two of you are both engaged; two listeners sharing a single conversation. **Take time to get to know your fans. Not just because they’ve been helping you out and you want to repay the favor, but because they can help you understand more about who your audience is and how you can serve them best. You want to find the signal through the noise, and filtering your tweets is a great way to make that happen.

Lee Odden CEO at Toprankblog interviewed 10 thought leaders on content marketing and curation. They share their insights, questions and observations.
**One thing is for sure, 2012 is the year for content curation!
Intro:
Companies are realizing the value in brands as publishers and are making real commitments to the creation of content in their online marketing mix. Content curation is going to be an equally important element in their content strategy.
Here are just a few things that caught my attention:
Paul Gillin - @pgillin Consultant, Author of "The New Influencers & Secrets of Social Media Marketing"
**Marketers can build trust with their constituencies by providing focused curation in areas that matter to their constituents.
**Original content will always have value, but curation is coming to have nearly equal value.
**The key is to stake out unique topic areas and to become the most trusted source in those areas.
**You don’t need a lot of money to do this. You just need to know the subject matter very well.
Erik Qualman @equalman Author of Socialnomics:
**Today, everyone is a potential media outlet.
**A curator understands their audience and is able to package created content in a digestible manner for them.
**Creators need to view curators as distribution points for their content rather than as pirates.
**Content creators and curators that will thrive in this new world understand the importance of this symbiotic relationship. But is it symbiotic?
**In the end, almost every person is a little of both (creator & curator).
After all, there is no such thing as a new idea and imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
**These clichés symbolize the irony of the topic being discussed.

@Internet Billboards
Getting ready to launch in the next couple of weeks - it's way more than a blog:-) I will be writing original articles as well as curating. Thank you for your kind words, I appreciate it.

Hi Jan, thank you for sharing this. :-)
I wanted to let you know that your last link, the bit.ly one isn't good. It has an extra square bracket at the end making it unusable. Also: I think it would be very appropriate when curating something that is over a year old to say so explicitly as it is an extra element of immediate evaluation for the reader. Keep it up!
