Robin Good: If you need to do research on a specific topic or need to easily collect and organize notes, web clippings and other content from the web into shareable "public" collections, you may want to consider Evernote (and in particular its Chrome extension and its Web Clipper feature).

Den Nicholson, has a short but useful tutorial just on this, with a couple of short video clips that can give you immediately an idea of whether Evernote could be a good addition to your curator's toolkit.

Useful. 7/10

Robin Good: It's true, when you create a "curated" collection, it's generally done in one of two possible approaches:

a) the "sprint", where due to time-sensitive issues lots of elevant items are collected in a short period of time. 

b) the "marathon", where relevant collection items are slowly but steadily collected over time.

This short article on the Bundlr blog acknowledges this typical behavior, as well as identifying some relevant examples and characteristics. 

Insightful. 7/10

Robin Good: Surfmark is a new content curation service introducing some innovative and forward-looking features.

Surfmark in fact provides not only standard capabilities to easily capture, collect and organize content from any web page, but it adds intelligently alternative display formats to allow the exploration of such collections in multiple ways.

Another key innovative feature of Surfmark is its ability to generate bibliographies and summaries of content collections.

Surfmark allows social collaborative curation, history of all edits made, and the ability to share publicly or keep a collection private.

Collections can be downloaded in PDF or text formats and all pages saved in a collection are fully preserved with all the formatting and links intact so that you can refer back to exactly what you saw. 

Free to use.
