I recently attended a conference where a major financial institution proudly displayed its new automated content curation system. Basically, their answer to the content marketing dilemma every company is facing is to use an outside company to skim off the best financial-services content around the web and present it on their site as a value-added customer service. On the surface, this seems like a very elegant solution. I mean, why spend the time and money to create original content when you can curate unlimited content from the web and present it as your own customer portal? An intoxicating idea. This is a popular trend but it is also problematic because it flies in the face of other marketing considerations …

Five Big Problems with Content Curation

For some time now, the hot new buzzword for Web services has been “curation.” Whether it’s Pinterest or Tumblr or Flipboard or News.me, everyone wants to ride the curation wave . But what does it mean, and how do you do it properly?

It’s not curation or aggregation, it’s just how the Internet works

0 La curation marque-t-elle la fin de l’esprit critique ?

A few years later, I reluctantly lent my collection of magazines to a (now former) friend. He had just bought a house that he had no idea what to do with. I, on the other hand, had nothing but ideas. O.K., they weren’t strictly mine, in the sense that these ideas were acquired, arranged, styled, photographed, published and distributed by entities bearing no relation to me whatsoever. They were mine because I internalized them. I gradually convinced myself that they were me.

Content curation: A required skill for digital-era communicators | New Media

Posted on October 6, 2010 9:35 am by Shel Holtz | New Media | PR | Research | Social Media Over the years, I have chatted with people who work for museums. There’s Michael Edson, for example, whom I’ve interviewed twice for my podcast based on his work with the Smithsonian Institution. I’ve also met several museum communicators. These interactions have given me some introductory insight into the job of a curator.

The Secret, Selfish Side Of Social-Curation Sites

Here’s my beef with social platforms today: I don’t think they’re very social at all. As much as Google+, Facebook, and Pinterest promise a way to connect, they’ve also promoted a disconnect--sharing on different platforms, proving a fragmented sense of keeping tabs on any social network. We can track our connections’ job promotions on LinkedIn, photos from their new office on Facebook, and hear their celebratory music on Spotify--but what about how these all link together? And what about the platforms themselves? Unfortunately, competition currently drives their existence.

Open Curation I attended a Betaworks brown bag talk yesterday, which featured Megan McCarthy of Techmeme. She was basically explaining her workflow as the editor of Mediagazer and Techmeme, and how she ‘augments’ the algorithm that does most of the heavy lifting there. A lot of questions ensued: people wanted to know how it worked, what she saw on her editorial dashboard, when would she step in (to pull in new stories that are important but too young to have gained much attention, picking a better story as the top of a pile-up, and so on), how many times a day did she intercede and so on.

Thanks to Tom Foremski and Oliver Starr for inviting me to share my thoughts on curation at last night’s salon, and to the group for a lively discussion. This article is an expansion on the bullet points in my remarks. There is a prior post- What is Curation? - that attempts to professionalize and put some limits around the use of the word, which may be needed- lest I seriously think that I’m curating my garage next time I clean it out.- CMM

billet d'humeur : la curation (curage, fuyons !)

Curation, curator, ces drôles de termes se rencontrent fréquemment sur la Toile depuis quelques temps, ne faisant l'unanimité qu'autour de leur laideur sémantique - qui n'est pas sans rappeller l'utilisation du mot curiste pour désigner un fan ébouriffé de Robert Smith. Après de simples liens envoyés par mail, puis leur éditorialisation via Twitter, la curation suit une évolution logique dans la diffusion du web : l'appropriation croissante de contenus dont on a pas la paternité. Autrement dit, toujours plus de mise en scène, encore davantage de mise en forme, sans cesse moins de création. Mais - sans vouloir faire d'anticléricalisme primaire - que cure-t-on ?

C’est le nouveau buzzword. Celui dont tout le monde parlera dans 6 mois, à côté de ses frères « personnal branding » ou « social media ». Derrière ces mots se cachent évidemment des réalités, et parler de « personnal branding » ou de curation, ce ne sont pas, justement, que des buzzwords. D’ailleurs, si vous souhaitez en savoir plus sur le concept de curator/curation, je vous renvoie vers l’ami Arnaud Briand . Mais là encore, pour la curation, on suit le même schéma que pour les deux autres (qui ne sont que des exemples) : on a un concept, qui est le fruit de l’observation d’un tendance, et on a quelques outils. Mais les outils aujourd’hui sont encore très jeunes, et n’embarquent pas une fonction qui me paraît essentielle.

La curation, c’est bien, mais…

La "Web curation" : au-delà du hype!

Je m'en veux presque d'avoir dit, lors d'une conférence, que la figure forte des belles réflexions du Digital Humanities Manifesto de Stanford University était celle du "curator", c'est-à-dire, celui qui crée des ARGUMENTS à travers les différents objets, éléments de culture et à travers différents médias . Pourquoi? Parce qu'au cours du dernier mois, une panoplie d'articles et de billets de blogue, que j'intégrerai sous forme d'hyperliens à même mon texte ici, définissent, pour les besoins de la cause, ce qu'on appelle la Web curation, d'une manière qui m'apparaît plutôt superficielle. Puisque je me penche sérieusement sur le sujet, à la fois pour ma thèse sur la cyberculture et dans dans le cadre d'un commissariat en arts électroniques pour la biennale de Montréal , je suis en plein de le bain!
