The death of RSS in a single graph

The death of RSS in a single graph | Content curation trends | Scoop.it
Google Trend graph for "rss" - bad news. I recently wrote a blog post about moving all my RSS readers to email subscriptions, and I immediately got 30+ negative comments on it. Obviously it struck ...
Guillaume Decugis's insight:

Interesting post by Andrew Chen on the demise of RSS and what we can expect to see after that. As a blogger, he decided to move all his RSS subscribers to email (as yes, email is alive and kicking). 


Beyond observing this trend, he also makes interesting comments on why this is ultimately good for content creators (though he also got angry comments for his move): alternatives like social curation, integrated readers and email offer better feedback loops for content creators helping them iterate their content based on measured engagement.

Who needs RSS when you can Scoop.it (and others)? Will RSS fall victim to the law of the supply and demand?

I understand Laura but I happen to be suprised by how resilient email is. Even though my inbox is crowded too, I still like to read some of the daily digests I subscribed to. But I also make sure to unsubscribe when they stop being relevant.

Why Email Is Still Alive [Infographic] - SocialTimes | Content curation trends | Scoop.it

This infographic shows how email marketing campaigns have benefitted from new technology and have also found a niche among media outlets and small business owners.

Guillaume Decugis's insight:

Devon Glenn from the Social Times picked up our infographic on the role email plays as part of a content marketing strategy, specifically for small businesses. Just like email is one of the secret weapons of social networks and media outlets, it can and should be leveraged to engage and develop an audience.

Clash of the Titans - the battle to organize the Web's content

Clash of the Titans - the battle to organize the Web's content | Content curation trends | Scoop.it

Curation is an irreplaceable part of the new content consumption and knowledge-sharing cycle just as passive readers are becoming an irreplaceable part of the curation cycle. This union is the ideal environment for smart, immensely valuable, and educational content on the web to proliferate and spread like wildfire, which ultimately what we want. A smarter world is a better world.

Guillaume Decugis's insight:

As Google shuts down Google Reader, Flipboard introduces user curation to its App and we see our own Read.it App being immeditately picked up and featured by Apple upon launch, we can definitely say content aggregation is losing battles against social curation in the fight between robots/algorithms and people to organize the Web's content.


The vision we had for what we call humanrithm is taking shape. And as Clair asked in this article, are you up to it as readers need you?

I'm getting a rather inflated, bloated, pop-worthy vision of the self-importance all our commenting leads us to each day now. I'm thinking I'm going to start wearing hats again... with a big hatpin... just in case I need to burst someone's self-inflated ego bubble lest they go pop on their own in a maniacal commenting frenzy. Hey! Sorry! That's just where all the tangenting eventually leads me, lol. Uhhh... to the point where my brain can grasp only a little lol... And to think... I used to be sooooo enthralled with "the meeting of the minds" when I sat down with my favorite authors... to read them... and I heard only their voice speaking directly to me. Nowadays, it seems I can't get a thought in edgewise, much less a personally acknowledged comments, with the author I use to have all to myself. Kinda takes the fun out of the old one-on-one author-reader mind-melds we use to have.

Time for next-generation interest-based content curation? RIP Google Reader

Time for next-generation interest-based content curation? RIP Google Reader | Content curation trends | Scoop.it

Google just revealed plans to shut down eight of its services as part of what it’s calling an ongoing spring cleaning effort. Some of them are pretty arcane, but among TechCrunch writers, anyway, we’re pretty bummed to see that Google Reader will be shut down on July 1.

Guillaume Decugis's insight:

This will probably come as a shock for the loyal fan base of Google Reader but "the Google" is shutting it down. I'm biased of course but I'm not surprised.


As Frederic Lardinois of TechCrunch put it, RSS keeps playing an important role in the "backend plumbing for many web and mobile apps" and it surely introduced many of us to the idea of real-time content feeds. But with social media taking over, RSS readers have been outgrown on many fronts:


- by social networks that brought serendipidty and discovery


- by more beautiful readers like Flipboard and Pulse


- by smarter and more relevant ways to filter information such as Prismatic or our own content suggestions


- and by more integrated ways to combine content discovery and curation like Pinterest, Tumblr or our own Scoop.it platform 


I can not help but think this comes right when our own Read.it iPad App - our interest-based reader that just launched last week - made it to the home page of the App Store and within the Top 15 of its category. This is just an experiment for us right now but the simple fact of having it picked up and promoted by Apple is a nice acknowledgment of the role that community of curators like Scoop.it's can have in organizing the Web on a long-tail of interests in a much better way than algorithms, social networks or... RSS.

How to create an effective content curation plan

How to create an effective content curation plan | Content curation trends | Scoop.it

"once you start gathering content to share, you begin to realize it’s a bit more complicated than you thought. It takes a bit of focus and creativity to find good content and then organise it."

Guillaume Decugis's insight:

Sarah Arrow gives interesting tips in that post but the bigger point she makes is that content curation requires some organization and works best when integrated within a workflow that makes it easy. Whether you're using organized RSS feeds, iPad readers like Flipboard or platforms like Scoop.it, the whole system should make it efficient for you to scan through content without distraction and publish your best picks in a way that feels natural. 


And as I commented on her blog post, I’m a big believer of using your idle time for curating content using your mobile: on top of making this time useful, the mobile platform also addresses the “Shiny Object” temptation she's describing and unchains content curation. Don’t you find the smaller screen and the use of the mobile format lots of blogs and media are now using also helps being less distracted and more focused?

Martin (Marty) Smith's curator insight, March 5, 2013 7:50 PM

Backing Into Great Content Curation Greatness
Since the goal of every Internet marketing team should be creating a sustainable system of content marketing with an ever increasing return let's agree on a few important curation ideas: 

* Curation creates more reach faster than creation.

* Creation is still important, > than 20% is risky. 
* Curation is never random, strongest clearly themed.

* Scale means you do more with less, so scale = ROI.

* Real time is where the HEAT of content curation lives.

* The more you curate the better at it you become.

 

The second bullet is ironic. Even gurus I LOVE tire me out when they don't pick up other people's threads or react to mine. "Tire me out" is another way of saying I leave and reduce advocacy. 

This means EVEN if you have resources needed to create 90% and only curate 10% I would NEVER suggest that as a winning strategy. Create more than 20% and you risk "talking to yourself about yourself". I've come to the conclusion that the optimal ratio is 90% curation to 10% creation, but Argyle Social did a somewhat related study that came down 50% creation (promotion of your own stuff) and 50% curation. 

I think promotion is different than either curation or creation, so let's put that study aside for the moment.  

1. Define Your Curation THEME
Note that I use the singular "theme". Any beginning content plan should focus on ONE meme; one idea set, and devote all energy to that single theme. Don't go too broad either. Not Internet Marketing, but Internet Marketing / Email Marketing (if you are @Bronto) or Internet Marketing / New Ecom (if you are @Atlanticbt my employer). 

2. Research Your Theme's Ecosystem - Picking Gurus 
Who are the gurus of your theme? How social are these gurus? Do they respond when use @GURU? Pick a mix bag of 5 gurus to follow with 3 in the "approachable" camp and 2 in the uber-guru camp (pick the two with either the biggest following or that are most aligned to your thinking or both). 

 

3. Create A Content Map For Your Theme

Use the 10% creation and 90% curation rule to guide what kind of content you create and put where. Creation is best on OWNED properties. Curation moves easily between OWNED and SHARED (social nets). Don't only do ONE or the other tactic exclusively on one platform. Mix it up. Create short blog posts that are hybrid curation. Create themed Tweets that are almost like a blog post in 20 tweets. Others would tell you to use a blog to do X and a tweet to do Y. I disagree, surprise and serendipity keeps your content marketing alive. 

4. Create A Schedule, Stick To It
Leave 20% of your plan for "response", but do create s publishable schedule of daily, weekly or monthly features. Schedules = TRUST and you can never have enough trust. If you miss a scheduled date explain why and, "Dog ate my homework," is not a good excuse. 

5. Schedule Reviews & Summary Presentations
Watch 5 Key Performance indicators every single day of the MACRO (traffic) and MICRO (forms completed by Google visitors on keyword X) variety. Schedule a quarterly review with senior management since that too creates trust and makes you SMARTER due to the preparation and questions you will need to answer. 

6. Practice, Practice and Practice More
How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice, Practice, Practice. The old cliché is true. Yes it will take getting used to the idea your "practice" is seen by OTHERS, but get used to it. I use Scoop.it as my practice field. I allow for a higher degree of errors (WHEN is Scoop.it going to add spell check for God's sake :) and stumbles because Scoop.it is about FEEDBACK and SPEED in our ecosystem. 

When something looks PRIME TIME on Scoop.it I tighten down the bolts (i.e. hire my great editor) and increase the investment. I move a longer and more keyword dense take to our owned properties such as our blog or website.


Our process doesn't have to be yours since there are infinite variations on the curation theme. The important idea is to curate a LOT of content daily, define a platform that is your "practice field" and always increase the speed of curation while reducing errors and increasing shares (what you are curating for).  


BTW, learned these tips from GREAT curators such as @RobinGood and @maxOz and others I listed on Google Plus:

Should Brands Have Newsrooms?

Should Brands Have Newsrooms? | Content curation trends | Scoop.it

Brand newsrooms are a hot new trend in marketing. To believe the hype, every brand should be staffing up with journalists and going 24/7. In reality, the model’s not right for the majority of brands.

Guillaume Decugis's insight:

Brian Solis wrote "every brand should become a media to earn relevance".  And the trend for companies to partially become media companies is strong. This interesting article looks at whether this means they should have their own newsroom because they can (as Virgin's Mobile head of global marketing Ron Faris puts it "We created our newsroom for a fraction of what it costs to create a 30-second spot"), whether they should rely on an agency or whether they should simply pass.


While I would tend to agree with Saya Weissman's conclusions that going all the way to a newsroom isn't appropriate for all brands, I see a larger in-between opportunity around content curation for brands. Producing unbiased, relevant and engaging content on a regular basis is not only tough: it might be impractical. Building on external sources and 3rd-party content has always been an interesting way to enlarge any discussion.

Tagmotion's comment, March 3, 2013 10:46 PM
Perhaps the biggest brand in Australia to create the biggest newsroom is the AFL (Australian Football League). It's a no-brainer for bodies governing sport because they have huge audiences with insatiable appetites for content AND they own the content. And while the peak bodies are themselves known and 'trusted' brands, they sometimes come in for a lot of criticism, which means they are perhaps not trusted as much as independent media brands. And that's also why there will probably always be a role for independent media outlets & bloggers. If they don't all get hired by the newsrooms of the powerful sporting bodies!

How the bubble of Content Creation increases the value of Content Curation

How the bubble of Content Creation increases the value of Content Curation | Content curation trends | Scoop.it

"My 2013 prediction warned of the continued fall in the value of online content which would lead to the production of ever more content as media companies tried to maintain ad revenues.

You can think of it as a towering tsunami of content, or as a massive bubble of content inflation.

Just as inflation devalues currencies, content inflation is devaluing content."

Guillaume Decugis's insight:

Tom Foremski makes a very interesting point on content inflation. Content creation has never been easier: web services like YouTube, Blog platforms but also devices like smartphones and Go Pro's all made it possible to create content and make it available online. This is why CPM's go down and why we hear things like "10 million uniques is the new 1 million uniques". 


Foremski doesn't mention any solutions in this article and highlights the risks for Corporate Media. But one obvious consequence is a shift of value from content creation to curation which in my view is also the answer for companies to become media. In a world of content abundance, it's hard to command high value nor attention for creation but it actually increases the value of curation: those who give us a smart selection of valuable content with great insights have never been more demanded.

Guillaume Decugis's comment, February 19, 2013 7:00 PM
I think I do but I'm not sure of the connexion you make with content inflation/dilution?
Tagmotion's comment, March 3, 2013 10:59 PM
If we look at content inflation through the lens of making money, it's clear that in terms of monetization through advertising, the internet is the first medium in history where ad inventory grows exponentially every year. Broadcasters are only making real money from iconic TV programs that attract big audiences on the web, for which advertisers will pay a premium to reach. Curating iconic programs - so that relevant segments show up as search results - turns content inflation on its head. Now you have content that's tagged, curated & discoverable at a granular level. And that specificity translates to more highly-targeted advertising which, of course, commands a premium.

The newspaper. One of the most sacred institutions of the publishing world and one of its oldest, most respected methods of knowledge gathering and collection of popular opinion, dating all the way back to the first printing presses ever created.

Guillaume Decugis's insight:

Earlier today, I posted this great piece by Jay Rosen summarizing the status of journalism in today's digital age. In the meantime, we had our own Clair write her own opinion on why it's actually not so much the Web which is killing newspapers than our own habits and expectations with regards to knowledge and information gathering.

I am still convinced that newspapers can thrive in a content rich environment. Perhaps the key is adding value to the print media experience. Although it may seem counter intuitive (what's the value add?) newspapers can act as gatekeepers to content using technology like augmented reality. The use of mobile devices like Smartphones can allow readers of niche publications at least to access further granularity of information through scanning a page and linking to online content. Using this model newspapers or specialist publications can become gatekeepers, sort of print content curators if you will. People (at least some demographics like those over 50) still like the comfort of print, the key is adding value.

What happens when social media is read by robots - and not curated by humans

What happens when social media is read by robots - and not curated by humans | Content curation trends | Scoop.it
Here in the US, the Dow recently tumbled almost 150 points in a “flash crash” caused by widespread digital panic. What was the cause of this panic? Twitter.
Guillaume Decugis's insight:

As Clair tweeted "a single twitter handle (AP's) is hacked and the Dow tumbles 150 points."


Why? As she explains through a combination of automated trading and lack of social media usage by the traders.


Technology is great. But I'm a firm believer that the best way to leverage it is not to let it go on auto-pilot but rather have its output curated by humans - a concept we like to call Humanrithm which we apply at Scoop.it, for instance when our discovery algorithm only makes content suggestions but lets users decide what gets published and what is not.


Did we get lucky this time? Some people probably weren't and lost something in that story. But if we don't want SF movies to become real one day, we have to start educating and empowering everyone to curate social media.

The U.S. newspaper industry has lost more than $40 billion in ad revenue in the past decade — over half of that in the last four years alone — and Google’s ad revenues are now more than twice what the industry pulls in.

How journalists can measure engagement

How journalists can measure engagement | Content curation trends | Scoop.it

Most journalists now understand they need to engage with audiences, whether online or in person.

Guillaume Decugis's insight:

This article by Meena Thiruvengadam is interestingly describing how sharing and adding value with new insights are the best form of engagement journalists can have.  “At the end of the day a successful result for us is when people somehow added to the journalism we’re doing.” she concludes by quoting one of the editors she interviewed.


Isn't that a definition of content curation?

Robin Carlisle's comment, May 5, 2013 10:05 PM
"Bag" in 1998? Hmmmm... well... if the bag fits, then I think they should wear it, lol!
Robin Carlisle's comment, May 5, 2013 10:09 PM
BTW, this is what women have been doing since the beginning of time... adding value... offering insights... commenting (be nice... no hen-pecking here, lol)...Now if only I could think of a way to discretely quote one of the editors I just read.... Hmmmmmm...
Robin Carlisle's curator insight, May 5, 2013 10:12 PM

My insight? Today, I feel like I'm just commenting on the comments about commenting on comments regarding the curation of comments on curation. But, alas, I'm all out of pithy comments for the day... curated or otherwise. :).

Google Reader, Tech Darwinism and the Gatekeeper syndrome

Google Reader, Tech Darwinism and the Gatekeeper syndrome | Content curation trends | Scoop.it

"By killing Reader, Google is likely to harm a lot of publishers, large and small, by eliminating a larger source of traffic."

Guillaume Decugis's insight:

MG Siegler did the math: some traffic will be missing when Google shuts down Reader this coming July. 


Is that bad?


Obviously the perspective of losing traffic isn't great news to Web site publishers. But for news consumers, what is really happening here? Some will replace Google Reader with other RSS-based services like Feedly. But some others will trust other sources of content like social networks or content curators and discover their benefits. Will it be bad for them? They will decide: they have an open choice (Google was by no means a monopoly on this crowded market) so they won't be harmed.


I understand his concern but what's striking to me in this argument is that it looks a lot like the concern traditional media publishers have always been expressing at the thought of a changing distribution model and innovation. When confronted with change, the reaction of a lot of established players (and yes, TechCrunch is one - not the disrupting startup it was once) is fear - instead of embracing it.


If I were a publisher (oh but wait: I'm one, if only for my Scoop.it topics), I'd care less about the loss of RSS traffic from Google Reader than making sure my content is worth sharing, worth curating and engaging. Digg, Stumble Upon and now Google Reader: a lot of historical traffic drivers are declining or disappearing to the benefit of social content & curation. And all sorts of tools and platforms will either adapt, evolve or die: it's innovation darwinism and the gatekeepers of today won't prevent it from happening any more than the gatekeepers of yesterday were able to.

ghbrett's curator insight, March 30, 2013 7:53 AM

Yann André Gourvennec's curator insight, April 4, 2013 8:58 AM

My main issue and question is about feedburner, which will certainly be done with too. This means a lot of traffic will go away from blogs and will minimise the interest of keeping a blog alive, be it personal or professional.

The Glory Days of Information Abundance.

The Glory Days of Information Abundance. | Content curation trends | Scoop.it

The recent improvements in news distribution are astonishing. You don’t need to go to a specialty shop to find out-of-town newspapers or foreign magazines. Just open a browser. You can check on Israeli news sites when a new government is formed or during an American presidential visit and ignore them the rest of the year. The Internet also brings the enormous back catalog of journalism to life. That five-year-old Anderson essay on Cyprus is still relevant today. Recalling that he wrote a book on the island, I looked up an old Christopher Hitchens column on Cyprus yesterday evening.

Guillaume Decugis's insight:

White we keep talking about information overload and it's problems (some even suggesting an information diet - a very Malthusian concept to me), we forget all the good things that come with it and this insightful article makes excellent points highlighting them. The financial problems of media publishers don't mean news consumers are worse off: they're actually better off. Not only because they enjoy more supply hence more choice, but also because consumers benefit more and more from new distribution models such as social networking but also content curation platforms which brings different context and perspectives from various people adding their own expertise to news.


So shouldn't we maybe refer to information overload as information abundance to give it the more positive spin it deserves?

A. Brian Dengler's comment, March 22, 2013 7:57 AM
The "abundance" of information is helpful. This abundance begs the next task of analyzing it, checking its veracity, and putting it into context.

Can Wordpress move from siloed blogs to be more of a media or a community?

Can Wordpress move from siloed blogs to be more of a media or a community? | Content curation trends | Scoop.it
WordPress is going to curate more content and may focus on longform writing and even native advertising, CEO Matt Mullenweg said in a panel at SXSW Saturday.
Guillaume Decugis's insight:
Interesting to see that move from Wordpress. It is one of the best CMS out there. And it's free. But can it move from siloed blogs to become a media or a community?
Tagmotion's curator insight, March 16, 2013 10:26 PM

The ability to create an index of a video relating to a particular topic area will be one important way of straddling silos as Wordpress moves in this (horizontal() direction.

Mobile devices, with the help of social media, are taking over media creation.
Guillaume Decugis's insight:

As someone who've been 15 years in the Mobile Industry (my previous startup was a mobile music platform called Musiwave), I've always believed in the power portable devices had to transform the way we're doing things. What's fascinating to me today is the opportunities offered by the collision of social and mobile. As we blogged last week upon introducing the v2.0 of our iPhone App, new media creating techniques like content curation are ideally positioned to unleash the power of smartphones.

Tagmotion's curator insight, March 6, 2013 4:52 PM

Content discovery on mobile devices is a particular challenge. How do you use the limited real estate to best effect?

Tagmotion's Windows Explorer (or Mac Finder)-type interface is one way to present the maximum number of items in the minimum space.

Infographics are fast becoming the way to share details and analytics that move way beyond the standard pie charts used by many businesses in terms of "telling the story".

 

Here's another good example that highlights the importance of social media for content creators and how the smartphone platforms must be considered when creating content. It's not just a smartphone anymore, it's become the canvas!

While the videos are simple fun for the thousands of people that have participated in Harlem Shakes, they’ve become an easy moneymaker for the song’s creator, Baauer, and YouTube itself.

This is a great story on how the remix culture can actually be leveraged by copyright owners. And which is a great follow-up to Matthew Ingram's post on the clash between the two which could lead to a new prohibition.

Start-up of You, Visual Summary

By Reid Hoffman, founder of LinkedIn: "In commemoration of a year in print, we present the Startup of You in visual summary. The last year has continued to demonstrate how work and careers need a new entrepreneurial mindset for everyone, not just entrepreneurs."

Guillaume Decugis's insight:
This piece is likely to become the bible of Professional Development for the next few years. It's smart, well presented and touches on a lot of aspects of modern professional life.

One of these aspects is the role information plays and how it now comes from people in your network. As Hoffman puts it "Who you know is what you know", building on Bill Gates quote : "How you gather, manage and use infoirmation will determine whether you wib or lose".

Isn't that a call for all professionals to become Content Curators?

Will the SEO-ification of Twitter help Content Curators?

Will the SEO-ification of Twitter help Content Curators? | Content curation trends | Scoop.it

The most interesting Twitter moments happen in real time – when Tweets are rattled off, rapid fire. Or when personalities butt heads. Will it cause pause for some people to know that their tweets can easily resurface years later?

Guillaume Decugis's insight:

Richard Nieva describes one of the tensions that Twitter new search capabilities will create for users. Though not the only one, it shows how difficult the exercize could be for Twitter to try to be the real-time pulse of the Web AND an archive for content at the same time.


Content curators often need to slow down the pace of the real-time Web. To make some sense of it, give it meaning and context or simply make sure great content can resurface as it takes just one blink to miss it in news feeds.


Do you think the new Twitter Search will help your curation work?

Laura Brown's comment, February 9, 2013 6:46 PM
Google seems to be moving away from SEO. Each time I see someone writing about it now I think they may be barking up the wrong tree, or be putting energy into something which will become outdated soon.
