"One day I realized I was spending more time thinking about my blog posts than about my WIP (work in progress)." writes author Sara Rosett. But as she shut down her blogs, she still felt she "wanted something a little more interactive, but without the huge time commitment of daily blogging."
Sara goes on explaining how Scoop.it turned out to be the perfect solution for this and also highlights interesting tips on how to make the most of Scoop.it.

I agree, curating content can do a number of things for a business or individual. eg. 1. Helps YOU the keep up to date on trends and new information on your related topics. 2. With proper link placement it will add value and traffic to your website - Give your visitors a reason to come back. 3. Can generate new income for your business.

Content Curation, in its most simplest terms, is the act of gathering related, targeted pieces of content and sharing it. Like an art curator, a Content Curator is a taste maker—an influencer—and has authority in a given topic. You can curate content that you create and curate the content that is important or interesting to you and your brand.

What the heck is a Personal Branding Illusion? That's a good question, but it begs the question "What is a Personal Brand?", so let's start there.
Ally Greer's insight:
And by the way, a great way to build your personal brand is to create and curate content online! Thanks, Liz, for the Scoop.it shoutout! 
Ally Greer's curator insight,

I absolutely love this post by Liz Ryan! First off, I've never heard the concept of a personal brand explained so well: People protest "Oh, I don't have a personal brand, and I don't want one" but that's like saying "I choose not to cast a shadow when I walk in the sun." A few weeks ago, I had this exact conversation with my mom; she thought it was crazy that I referred to my online presence as my "brand," but I told her that we all have our own version of our personal brand, a concept that was difficult for her to understand. The way Liz Ryan puts it here though, explains the term personal brand as just another way of saying "reputation" or "self-description." It's true, your personal brand is just a fancy way of quantifying the way people see and perceive you, based upon the way you present yourself physically, intellectually, emotionally, digitally, etc. Here, Ryan also describes five common ways people refer to their "personal brand" that are simply inaccurate. One example of this is "tasks." The tasks that you perform on a daily basis are not your personal brand. Your skills (which help you accomplish your tasks), are a component of your personal brand, but don't just leave it at that! Another example - one that I personally can't stand - is "zombie language." Per Ryan, Zombie Language is often manifested in the form of buzzword-enhanced one-liners that professionals use to describe themselves (See: goal-focused social media strategist, or results-driven PR professional). If you use those or any of the other mentioned "strategies" to define your personal brand, have a look at this piece and get restructuring! Delete the scoop?

Every business needs a blog. It's no longer a question. While the content you host on your blog is important to your business, Genevieve Lachance brings up the important point that it isn't only about publishing your content on your blog, it's about how you share it and repurpose it after the fact. There are many ways to distribute and redistribute content (including Scoop.it!) and you can see them all in this beautiful infographic. This is really what #leancontent is all about. 
@hectorarturo's comment,

I don´t think you need a blog, I think is good to have a blog. The important thing is not the blog itself, the important thing is the message you want to give using it; the, you can give the message using the blog, but, you can give the same message directly, using social networks and plain text messages (without links). Many customers don´t want click, want the message.

Content Curation is at its core education. And in a world where information is so vital, everything tends to become education: from marketing to selling and from building a community to raising awareness for a cause. So it's always comforting for us to see Scoop.it praised by the people who know the most about knowledge sharing: the educators themselves. Thanks Leanna!

I agree! Once you find the right curators and develop relationships with them, they turn into mentors. Some of them are very successful, industry experts, and deeply respected. Some material gets put out months before they're covered in a college class. The trick is to be discerning as to what is merely a fad versus a long-term trend. ;) Delete the scoop?
