Robin Good has created a super map of content curation tools using PearlTrees, a visual list or bookmarking tool. Pearltrees lets you organize large collections because it allows for sub-categories. Robin has organized his large collection in several ways to make it easier for the user to find the right tool. This illustrates a key content curation skill - organizing material to make it useful to people. The organization of the collection makes it easy to find the right tool for the job - either by application or by format or technology. Useful

Content is King! Content is also EVERYWHERE... In your face with emails.. In your social streams, sponsored updates, every new app claims to be a "news feed but nobody has the time needed to read and sort through EVERY blog post! So why not use automation and dynamic apps to filter the internet based on your preferences allowing you to be more productive and read the stuff that is important to you and share that with your community! That is my focus and here are 6 of the tools I use to do this!

AARP goes where the audience is. 1/3 of grandparents felt it was useful to connect with grandchildren online - felt it helped them understand each other better. 60% of members between ages of 50-59 have smartphones and 76% check social channels on it. Those number will trend higher as GenX becomes eligible for AARP membership this year. Data showing people over forty are using a specific platform - they read about it and then test. That means they have presence in places like Pinterest, Instagram, and Vine LInkedIN. Second largest demographic is Gen X - lloking for information re: tips for caregiving.

Content marketing is now an integral element of public relations and is an extension of the notion of thought leadership. It varies the thought leadership approach in four ways:
Beth Kanter's insight:
Good summary of why content marketing - which includes content curation is valuable to enterprise and some good thoughts on the value of having employees do it - not just the marketing folks. From a pure practicality perspective, whilst thought leadership can be applied in a limited but still quite effective manner when adopting this antediluvian approach, it is simply not viable to apply it to content marketing: • A primary reason for this is that content curation is more than just retweeting or otherwise sharing. There needs to be a qualitative value-add from the organisation to some degree some of the time (actually a lot of the time, but I’m taking the low [expectation] road here) • Involving employees in content creation educates employees on their industry which, one would think, helps them contextualise their work efforts and give them information to get better at their job, increasing productivity • Employee involvement increases commitment to their organisation – likely to increase productivity – and helps them become a stronger organisational advocate • Utilising normal (non-marketing Martians?) minimises the need to hire additional marketing employees and can optimise financial investment into the program – increasing productivity. The most interesting and challenging aspect of this dimension, however, relates back to who are those doing the curating and how is this contextalised within an organisation’s branding? • What are they commenting on? • What is the nature of their value add? • Is there a comms or marketing employee facilitating all this curation, or is it the relevant individual doing it solo after, perhaps, some initial briefing and some guidelines have been set? This relates to the third point I flagged above. Fourthly, and this is perhaps the most fundamental aspect, the rationales driving the strategy will determine all of those issues noted above.

The image above amounts to a template for curating a digital space: Find something timeless to curate.Fit it into a pattern that makes sense.Find a larger context for why this matters.Share widely.I think this fits into Harold Jarche’s simpler seek-sense-share framework. Why does this matter? If curation is all that Tufte and Bhatt say it is, then why aren’t scaffolds like these being used more often for training and in learning systems? I am using the curation tool Scoop.it to do curation with my freshman comp students. They use Scoop.it as their introductory platform for beginning to acquire the skills Tufte enumerates above that are part of the academic and business spaces they will eventually live in. I am hoping they will demonstrate why it curation matters as they seek-sense-share their way to long and short form ‘texts’ that they will be writing all semester. That will include essays, tweets, G+ community posts, blog posts, research papers, emails, plusses, favs, instagrams, zeegas, slideshares, pictures, and a massive mobile presence from their own digital spaces. Wish me luck.

"A curator, therefore, whether she is a journalist-by-proxy such as Popova or a student completing an assignment in a classroom, not only collects and interprets, but also creates a new experience with it." Creo que esta definición zanja la discusión sobre si un "Content Curator" es una adaptación moderna al "Documentalista" de los medios tradicionales. De muy recomendada lectura para los que nos dedicamos a la Curación de Contenidos. |
