Your Instant Backlink Builder! 5 Content Curation Tools for Social Sharing. Many of us use popular social networks like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. Yet there are hundreds of others, most of which you likely have never heard of. Some of these lesser known digital outposts are worth discussing, however.

Kirtsy is just like that friend who always finds the best stuff. Only better. Four years ago, three friends started Kirtsy to share the interesting things happening on the internet. Initially a content aggregator, the site became a place where people could share their stories. The Kirtsy community continued to grow…with a book, conferences, and more conferences, art exhibits, education programs, and 30 editors curating the best of what the web had to offer.
As crowd sourcing became more crowded than resourceful, it was time to push refresh and rebuild an online space that matched the personality of the Kirtsy community, while maintaining our initial vision…to find and share the best of what’s out there. Welcome to the new Kirtsy. Join us each day to find a new slideshow curated by some of the most interesting people online.
