Interesting take on a few forms of curation that can be used. Infographic is, as the creator remarked, a little crowded, however the information is useful.

Videry is a great example of video curation at work.
Videry is a hand-curated collection of over 30 great video clips for web designers.
The beauty and value of this collection, in the context of curation is in the following:
- The quality of the clips selected
- A clean, and simple layout - content over looks
The essence is in the selection made and that's why it needs to stand out. - The essential info is upfront - video thumbnails + title + description
no other distractions. - A Pinterest-like simmetrical visual layout that allows easy scanning of the page
Where it could do better:
- Titles: no personalization for context - titles in the collection are exactly as the originals - the curator here could have improved and contextuaized titles for this collection, while keeping a good reference, visible to everyone, of the original one.
- Descriptions: these are the original video descriptions. No additions, no opinion, no contextualization. The curator could have written his own descriptions from these in the context of this collection, while leaving the original descriptions as an extra option (since they are all already accessible under the original video location).
- No visibile authorship for the collection.
P.S.: I think this clean design used in this collection is so effective that I wish there was a service prividing the ability to create curated video collections with such information design elegance.

The point here is, promotional material could exist, just don't tell us lies, companies: if you are giving us "bull sales marketing selling something", tell us. Like: "Here you will only find promotional material. For us is still worthy and we hope it is for you. If you want to get Real Content and Only Information, then click here"... leading us to a real, original piece of information.

A selection of fashion sites and tools that allow you to collect your favorite products and brands
Via Robin Good
Robin Good's curator insight,
June 15, 1:36 PM
If you look at the industry in which content curation tools and services have had the most leeway so far, that would be positively fashion, and, in my impression, by a good margin over the rapidly growing education/learning sector.
The fashion industry has embraced digital curation wholeheartedly more than any other sector so far, because of its strong visual element (the same one that has popularized the curation concept thanks to tools like Pinterest), and thanks to the natural inclination that fashion customers have for picking, collecting and sharing their unique preferences and combinations.
In this visual collection I have brought together the most interesting examples of curation at work in the world of fashion. Tools, services, communities, brands and products, all working together to filter, aggregate, pick and create relevant "selections" for the infinite number of tribes out there.

Flipboard, as you probably already know, is a great app (available on iOS and Android) which not only allows you to read and keep yourself updated on your favorite topics in a fresh and highly visual experience, but, since recently, it also offers you the ability to become a "curator" of whatever topic you are into.
Your job is simply to pick great stuff you stumble upon and to save it into the appropriate magazine you have created. It's not conceptually much different than clicking a Facebook "like" button and adding your comment, but we the added option of generating in the meanwhile a beautifully laid out digital magazine.
The secret here, to do something that it is of some value, it is to choose on a very specific "theme/topic" and to get picky about what you choose to publish in your magazine(s).
In this useful article Sue Waters collects and curates some of the best tips, video tutorials and techniques to make the best of your Flipboard curation experience in a step-by-step guide.
Useful. Resourceful. Media-rich. 8/10

The recent addition of the Flipboard Editort now enables you to create and curate your own magazine, which you can share with others, or keep simply as a place for bookmarking.
In this article, Sue Waters provides a step by step guide on how to use and make the most of the Flipboard features.

From the original article by Justin Reich and Beth Holland on MindShift: "What would a math class look like where students learn to compute, prove, derive, and intuit, as well as to discern and appreciate mathematical beauty?
What about a history class where students maintained a portfolio of beautiful artifacts and ideas from multiple periods?
How might efforts to curate benefit from the portability and ubiquity of mobile devices?
What would a “relevance portfolio” look like, where students catalog their daily encounters with ideas or experiences? What other kinds of portfolios could students create over the course of their academic career?"
If you are curious to get a glimpse at how tablets and their apps can be utilized to leverage curation for your classroom learning objectives, then this is definitely a good read.
You get a good introduction with some interesting historical facts about curation and about what it could be done with it in the real of education, and then you are provided with a good number of examples and tools that you can start to use right away.
Informative. Resourceful. 8/10

"Dunked makes creating your online & mobile portfolio website super simple. Showcase your design, illustration, video and photography work on any device."
Via Robin Good
Robin Good's curator insight,
June 11, 3:17 AM
If you are looking for a free tool that allows you to easily create a visual portfolio of images and/or video clips, organized into categories, Dunked offers an excellent solution.
Simple, elegant and very straightforward to use, Dunked makes it easy to upload one or more pictures at a time and to arrange them on your portfolio page and into separate collections called Projects.
You can customize background, colors for all the elements on a page, fonts, logo and you can add a personalized About and Contact page.
My comments: Excellent visual portoflio tool for photographers, designers and artists of any kind. Compared to having an image or video collection on Pinterest, the difference is that the presentation style is much more elegant, and images are viewed by default at a much larger size. You also have fine control on individual text style, colors and other design elements. The absence of a bookmarklet further indicates that this tool has been designed with the photographer/artist/painter in mind and not to collect stuff found on the web.
Free to use.
