Deshpande says Content curation is the process of identifying, organizing and sharing relevant content on a specific topic or issue. Identify third- party content from blogs, social media, news articles about the specific topic or issue. You want to find the most relevant content, than organize it and share it.

Curata provides a framework for businesses for content curation, its an organization’s marketers that decide what is most relevant.
The Conversation Prism gives you a whole view of the social media universe, categorized and also organized by how people use each network. V 3.0 introduces new groups and networks and also removes those networks no longer in play. Use the Conversation Prism to see what you're missing!
Recently, Kimberley Isbell of the Nieman Journalism Lab cited a Harvard Law report and published an extensive post on news aggregation and legal considerations . From a curation perspective, the whole article is interesting, but what was the most surprising was that her recommendations for being an ethical content aggregator, were the same as being an effective content curator. The five recommendations are below. You can read the full article for the legal justifications for abiding by these practices. However, I have provided some reason on why you would want to follow these guidelines from a content marketing perspective: 1.

Like e-mail in the ‘90s and the web at the dawn of the new millennium, artists and organizations—as a matter of business—have had to adapt to these new modes of communication and integrate these tools into their operations. Web 2.0 and social platforms like Digg and Delicious, YouTube, Flickr, and Facebook have pushed the electronic envelope even further up the learning curve. Along comes Twitter, and the real-time revolution is on—just as mobile technologies have gone viral. The speed of new development presents challenges—for technologists and luddites alike. But whether you’re a traditionalist or a ‘new mediaist,’ [1] future audiences are growing up with these technologies, [2] and eventually, the arts, like every living thing, must adapt or die.
In a typical buying process, B2B buyers are heavily influenced by third-party editorial and social user voices. And no matter what those voices are saying, there are ways to turn them into an unfair advantage for your brand. What are some of the platforms out there that can help brands identify these voices?

As an email marketing tool www.TheEmailTree.com), for organic, green and all natural business we supply content to our member clients for their newsletters.

I don’t think any of us could have predicted how integral Facebook, Twitter, blogs, Digg or other social media sites would be for a company’s marketing strategy. As a former employee of a high-tech startup, I’m always in awe of the creativity that forward-thinking young entrepreneurs pour into new ventures. And because I’m a small business owner, I’m always interested in learning about new companies that could affect how I market my business. A great way to keep up with everything is through TechCrunch . Last month, they hosted their second TechCrunch Disrupt conference in San Francisco.
Brain-picker, noun: one who gathers information from another’s mind. It’s also a fitting digital alias for Maria Popova. Through her wildly popular blog and twitter feed, Maria curates and disseminates “eclectic interestingness from culture’s collective brain.”
I keep hearing people throw around the word “curation” at various conferences, most recently at SXSW. The thing is most of the time when I dig into what they are saying they usually have no clue about what curation really is or how it could be applied to the real-time world. So, over the past few months I’ve been talking to tons of entrepreneurs about the tools that curators actually need and I’ve identified seven things. First, who does curation? Bloggers, of course, but blogging is curation for Web 1.0.
What is content curation and why is it so important for the future of web content publishers? The content curator is the next emerging disruptive role in the content creation and distribution chain. In a world submerged by a flood of information, content curators may provide in the coming months and years a new, tremendously valuable service to anyone looking for quality information online: a personalized, qualified selection of the best and most relevant content and resources on a very specific topic or theme.
