Lori Wilk's curator insight, January 28, 2014 3:16 PM

Great to hear what's being said on issues of content creation vs content curation and we'll get the see what worked best when we tally up the results at the end of the year. I do agree that in many cases the writers are not getting paid enough to create the original content.It is easier to get more content delivered to more people, quickly, by having fewer original articles to create and more curated content to share. The curated content is already written and is waiting for more distribution. The original content takes more research, thinking, writing, editing, and then posting. It's a longer process to create new content and it costs more than curating existing content. The perfect combination of both content creation and content curation will be very lucrative for some platforms this year-we'll have to wait to see who figures it out the best and who makes the most money doing it.

Reykjavik Internet Marketing Conference 2013: Key Takeaways on Search, UX ...
Huffington Post (blog)
As wonderful as all of this was, none of it would have happened if I wasn't attending an Internet marketing conference in Iceland.
Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

IM Conference Disrupts To Win
Great post from @ckanal about his trip to Iceland to attend the Reykjavik Internet Marketing Conference. More than a boondoggle Craig actually proves my favorite adivce - Why Your Intenrt Marketing Must DISRUPT To Win.

Craig disrupted by going to Iceland for an Internet conference. Here is my favorite confirming quote from his excellent article:

"One of the best pieces of advice from the entire conference came from Elísabet Grétarsdóttir, who led global marketing for the popular social game EVE Online and is now Head of Marketing for Arion Bank in Iceland.

She said make sure you're switching things up often and trying new things, alluding to a popular saying, "Only the dead fishes swim with the stream." The biggest success happens "when you're willing to change and think differently."

Lots of other great and disruptive ideas here. Well done Craig. Next time you head to Iceland can I tag along? Very cool (sorry :).
