Content curation is part of an overall strategy to tame information chaos. For me, it’s all about knowing, learning, sharing and teaching, all in one!

Where does this fit into good digital citizenship use of the web? Are we fostering plagiarism with tools like this? Are we modelling creative commons use? Or is it more about a focus on collaboration? Time to discuss! Via Robin Good, Judy O'Connell, Kim Flintoff

Digital collections marketing is an important, yet often ignored aspect of digital collection management. While many collections are laudable for the quality of their pictures, metadata, and preservation techniques, they often remain obscure, unknown, and therefore inaccessible to their intended user populations. One of the ways digital librarians can cultivate a broader awareness of their collections is through social networking. More importantly, digital librarians who participate in conversations with users through the use of social media become inextricably intertwined with the knowledge creation processes relevant to their collections.

I’ve been writing a lot about curating content online and a follower tweeted the questions: "This all sounds great. How do I get started?"
If you want to get started curating some content, there are lots of different paths you could set your feet on. The most important thing is to make sure you keep it manageable. Like most facets of the online world, curating content can very quickly begin to eat your life. Via Judy O'Connell, Kim Flintoff

A curated introduction to content curation, with several video clips from thought leaders and a few pointers to relevant tools.
I found this on Robin Good's topic "Real Time News Curation" - it's originally from alistarcameron.com. He talks about curation and there is great information in the video from other thought leaders on the subject.
Additional curation by JanlGordon on her topic "Content Curation, Social Media and Beyond" on Scoopit below:
What particularly caught my attention was:
"Now, in 2011, curation is coming into its own precisely because various content syndication, management and filtering technologies have reached maturity and ubiquity, to the point where "Joe Average" netizen can use them freely and effectively to create a new kind of collaboration, and a new kind of intelligence: that of man and machine working together on a new, faster, more comprehensive and more enjoyable kind of curating experience that's called:
"collaborative intelligence" -
**Curation is evolving to "collabortive intelligence" - find those people who produce quality work, who have integrity and whom you can work with, curate a topic together, faster. All kinds of opportunities can come from this and you're making a major contribution to the community.

Thanks Robin for scooping this post. It took me a long time to really synthesize what I learned from the accumulated links. I'm working on this because I have to teaching an introductory workshop on content curation - and how it is useful for professional learning in ADDITION to an organization's content strategy. The big barrier is the sense of "being content fried" - a new word for information overload.

Today Facebook provided something technologists have been waiting for, for over 10 years: a reason to move to the Semantic Web.
The Value Is Social, Not Mechanical
It has taken 10 years to see the Semantic Web really begin to work, and this is a pivotal point.
What we see today is not the Semantic Web, envisioned by Tim Berners-Lee. It is something better: the Semantic Social Web. And with it, the emerging circuitry tracing all the social chain reactions we share with one another every day. Via Judy O'Connell, Kim Flintoff

"As the web becomes more and more inundated with blogs, videos, tweets, status updates, news, articles, and countless other forms of content, “information overload” is something we all seem to suffer. It is becoming more difficult to weed through all the “stuff” out there and pluck out the best, most share-worthy tidbits of information, especially if your topic is niche.
Let’s face it, Google definitely has its shortcomings when it comes to content curation and the more it tries to cater to all audiences, the less useful it becomes...." Via Judy O'Connell, Kim Flintoff

Content curation is the art and science of finding and sharing quality content on a specific topic. Curation helps you build an audience. You then have a larger group of people with whom to share your own content, and who can spread the word. Via Judy O'Connell, Kim Flintoff

Recently I’ve had some inquiries about the best tool to use for a group to collaborate and share articles, videos, images, documents, etc. My initial thought was a wiki, but now that I’ve fully investigated the features of Diigo (dee’go), that is the tool I would recommend. Diigo, an online curation tool, is another one of my top 10 tools that I use every day.
I use Diigo to curate content, share it, and to find content. In Google Reader, as I read articles from the blogs to which I’ve subscribed, I will tag articles, sites, videos of interest, etc. using Diigo. These saved resources are available online and accessible from any Internet connected device. I can easily share specific resources.....
