About Thomson Reuters. Colbert on Algae. 30+ Cool Content Curation Tools for Personal & Professional Use. As the web becomes more and more inundated with blogs, videos, tweets, status updates, news, articles, and countless other forms of content, “information overload” is something we all seem to suffer.
It is becoming more difficult to weed through all the “stuff” out there and pluck out the best, most share-worthy tidbits of information, especially if your topic is niche. Let’s face it, Google definitely has its shortcomings when it comes to content curation and the more it tries to cater to all audiences, the less useful it becomes. The demand for timely, relevant content that is specific to our unique interests and perspectives has given rise to a new generation of tools that aim to help individuals and companies curate content from the web and deliver it in a meaningful way. These new tools range from simple, application-specific types such as social media aggregators and discovery engines, to more complex, full-blown publishing solutions for organizations.

Users primarily interact with the people they follow through their time, meaning they rarely, if ever, see a company's page. "Users scan their Twitter feeds for quick messages, not in-depth engagement" - Aaron W. "Even for higher-involvement brands, whose customers tend to do an extraordinary amount of product research -- car manufacturers and universities, for example -- Twitter will likely remain a source for customer service, news tips and trend information," said Aaron W.
"It is reassuring to know that Twitter is focused on making brand pages more engaging," Chernov said. The New Reality of the Twitter Ecosystem. In the past two months, a controversy has broken out between the startup of the moment, Twitter, and its ecosystem. Some of the company's actions—such as acquiring Tweetie, a mobile client since rebranded as Twitter for the iPhone, and imposing limits on companies building ad-related businesses on Twitter—have thrown developers into a tizzy. Dozens of tiny startups formed specifically to leverage Twitter are now wondering if they'll be able to get anyone to fund their dreams.
Chris Dixon, a New York-based angel investor and founder of VC fund Founder Collective, has been among the most outspoken about Twitter's actions. "Expect investment in ecosystem to drop significantly," he recently tweeted. Later Dixon added: "A bunch of investors told me recently there is no way they'd invest in Twitter ecosystem now.

New Pharmaceutical Information Tool Coming From Thomson Reuters—Cortellis. In fall 2011, Thomson Reuters’s Life Science people began advertising a new product called Thomson Reuters Cortellis for Competitive Intelligence, based on next-generation technology. The press releases talk about “intuitive methods for searching” and using “trusted life science information” along with “visualization tools and analytics” to help the end user “retrieve data to reflect … changing information needs.” Sounds really promising, but what does that all mean? What databases are really being used? Who is the targeted end user?
Amanda Mulvihill from Information Today and I paired up for a call with the Life Sciences team of Wendy Hamilton, Paul Sandell, and Jim Nichols. Essentially, Cortellis is the company’s vision of the research future. Thomson Reuters has been undertaking a variety of customer market research in the last few years. These end users can be anyone within the organization. Great. The team reassured me that in 2012, no products will be going away.
