Scoop.it!
Social media analytics - you want the truth? It’s messy, it’s awkward, and the results should be reviewed on an ongoing basis by people with good training and very suspicious minds. But it’s still useful. No comment yet.

While at LeWeb last week, I was interviewed by Michelle Chmielewski to discuss on curation with Jean-Marie Hulot, Fotopedia's founder, a great iPad App that lets you browse great curated collections of beautiful photos (try it if you haven't yet!).
We tried to come back on the need for curation but also where it's going as a trend and the business models behind it. Via Guillaume Decugis

As a developer, I find that the professional real time news curators agenda with "meaning making" will always be at odds with the profitability considerations of enterprise platform development. Scoop.it is an expensive application. I am sure that Guillaume is starting to get concerned with re-funding the project right about now. One of the major (perhaps only) benefits of the paid version is Google analytics. Analytics has almost always been "self expression" driven- in the sense that your material or "golden frame" is an "interest magnet". The debate, if there is any, seems to be about what creates interest. I find that helping people understand the difference between "information overload" and "potential meaning" overload - by providing a unique perspective on a topic . . . is still ultimately SALES, SALES, SALES. (grin) The Context IS The Sale. Donald Trump said: "Leadership IS SALES." I go one step further to say " Thought-Leadership Is Sales. Analytics is how Guillaume gets paid. Along with branding. (Which is still all about contextual sales). Respectfully, Russell Wright, g-plusplus.com .

Hi Robin
Thank you very much for answering my message. I must confess that I´m a big fan of yours so I really appreciate that you actually took some time to continue sharing some ideas with me. I´m also a great supporter of Scoop.it and Mr. Decugis´ work and it´s not my intention to question his efforts or ambitions at all. But, I think this kind of interaction is really valuable to start setting common grounds on effective content curation. Mr. Decugis himself acknowledges in his previous comment that “[the] role as a platform is to create the incentives to develop usage in the right direction.” I think this is exactly what this discussion is aiming at. I also agree that Scoop.it can be a great curator tool. But this will happen as long as we, users, learn to be selective and dare to share more than “what other people are saying about a certain topic/interest.” By making sensible use of the “Reactions section” to comment on an article or even, sharing a completely new post without any URL attached (tools that are not so widely used among the Scoop.it community), we can start paving the way for understanding and organizing information within a relevant context. As you have suggested, this is what content curation really entails, right? Finally, Mr. Decugis said that “through selection, users can express /show their own viewpoint.” I think that people who read my scoops want me to do more than that. They expect me to be able to somehow “mediate” the vast content content/knowledge out there and transform it into a meaningful source of information. That´s the reason why I have to resist the temptation to just rescoop this post the first time I came across it, and I decided to participate in a more significant way, instead. Robin, I have really enjoyed this very insightful conversation. Again, thank you for this. Warm regards. Mayra
