For content marketers that are looking to increase content production and save time, content curation is the answer. In addition, your audience will thank you for exposing them to new sources of 3rd party, independent content. In fact, according to a recent study, best-in-class marketers use a content marketing mix of 65% created content and 25% curated content.

Content Curation: The Art of a Curated Post [Infographic]

ScoopIt keeps looking for ways to integrate and be highly relevant in the service it provides.  Integrating with Wordpress is worth a good look.  ~  D

Nice to see SI moving along.  I haven't read this and I wonder if it's the news I read a few weeks ago.  At any rate I think SI is getting a bit ahead in the race between them and RebelMouse.  

I've had an issue in the UI with RM for almost 2 months and they don't seem inclined to do anything about it....but SI has always worked fine.

Recuperando artículos clásicos sobre content curation, recomendamos este conocido post de Beth Kanter escrito en octubre de 2011. En él la autora no solo presenta y da a conocer la content curation y el profesional que la lleva a cabo, sino que también desarrolla cómo debe ser a su juicio la actividad de la content curation, en un método que ella considera dividido en tres partes.

Su definición de content curation: "Es el proceso de clasificar contenidos entre la enorme cantidad disponible en la web y presentarlos de manera significativa y organizada en torno a un tema específico. (...) Los content curators proporcionan una selección personalizada de los recursos mejores y más relevantes sobre un tema general o muy concreto".

Para Kanter, se trata de un proceso en tres partes que requiere para su puesta en práctica de "algo de arte, algo de ciencia y mucho de práctica diaria". La autora detalla algunas tareas de esa práctica diaria asignando un tiempo orientativo de ejecución para cada bloque.

Artículo claro y muy práctico. La consideramos una de nuestras principales referencias.

Lectura imprescindible

Great stuff

Do people actually read the content? Will it keep them following you?

A very helpful primer on content curation.

Stacia Johnson and Melissa Marsh have recorded a 10-minute video introducing to Content Curation for their EDCI515 graduate course at the University of Victoria.

Topics covered:

good summary recomendet to anyone interested in content-curation and its aplications in learning

Agree 100% with this great share from my friend Janet Kennedy. Pinterest builds community FAST and it is a natural content curator because its so VISUAL.

The image above amounts to a template for curating a digital space:

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.

1. Find something timeless to curate.

2. Fit it into a pattern that makes sense.

3. Find a larger context for why this matters.

4. Share widely.

"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.

SCOOPS --  I began using Scoop when I was defining myself a LITE FEET DANCER.  There was no single source of info about Lite Feet dance, a NYC Born Battle dance phenom and YouTube Sensation.  I created LITE FEET SCOOP TO reference for my own resume but also to provide anyone interested a link to the multitude of YOUTUBE Channels, Sound Cloud and personal sites dedicated to this unique art form and the talented dancers who participate. 

Scoop.it helps with the process of curating content. This is a must for your social media.

Fascinating!

Makes sense to me.

Curating - how to manage it. And curation experts already exist - they're called Librarians!

This will be helpful to share to those wondering about content curation.

Valuable collection of the art of curation from Robin Good.
