Content Curation versus Content Aggregation: A Velvet Mr. T Painting

Two posts brought to my attention the discussion starting to take root about the worlds of content aggregation versus content curation. A post on the Poynter blog back in early October points to the work of journalists engaging in curation via Twitter as a way of "filtering the signal from the noise." The phrase used was "curation is the new aggregation." http://www.content-ment.com/2009/11/curation-versus-aggregation.html#.UVfYY9GI70M

If you're in my group, you may remember at that time it was just for college students, and you couldn’t do much more on it other than see what one friend was saying to another; there were no status updates, no news feed, and no sharing of videos or photos. The point is, I’m only 25 and I already feel old in the history of social media.

Why Marketers Should Invest in Visual Content Creation

Curation, more accurately, social product discovery and photo culitvation (as we like to call it) , is most likely going to be named the social media trend of the year. With Pinterest ‘s overnight celebrity and PPR’s backing of The Fancy , it looks like the race of relevance, based on niche audiences in the social content and product curation space, has begun. With that, it’s clear that luxury brands are looking beyond wildly popular sites with large numbers of users but lower intentions to purchase items that they add to their boards. Luxury brands are wanting to make meaningful connections that lead to the consumption of more luxury goods. Here are five sites that are aiming to take them there.

Take a dash of Tumblr, and mix in a cup of Pinterest. Sprinkle it with Facebook and top it off with Twitter, and you'd have Storify, a social media curation service that's a whole lot easier to use than it is to describe.
In last week’s post I laid out a case for content curation – why it can be a great opportunity for companies to engage with their customers, provide them with valuable information, and establish themselves as a trusted resource and thought leader in their industry. But no matter how airtight that case may be, the fact is theory is one thing, practice another. As Sales Benchmark Index CEO Greg Alexander points out , even if companies decide to adopt content marketing strategies, that doesn’t mean they’ll be successful. http://blog.openviewpartners.com/4-steps-to-effective-content-curation/
