FolioAdobe’s new tablet publishing system is now available in a “pre-release” form and includes a full suite of audience metric tools, thanks to the company’s 2009 purchase of analytics firm Omniture. Harry McCracken reports that the final version of the Digital Publishing Suite will be available in the second quarter of 2011, but Adobe is offering it now to publishers who want to try it out.

The software is the basis of the publishing platform that powers the Wired and The New Yorker iPad apps. McCracken writes that having built-in analytics tools could provide a “gold mine” of information for data-hungry publishers trying to figure out how readers interact with content on digital tablets: “If you use the suite to produce tablet versions of your magazine, you can use the analytics service to get a bevy of information about how they’re being read — all aggregated and anonymized to avoid privacy issues.

For the past few months, I’ve spent a few hours every week on Twitter looking for scholars, PhDs, post-grad students etc within the field of new media (broadly speaking). The reason for this is the idea of social curation of news, a concept that is gaining more and more traction the more time we spend online liking, bookmarking, sharing, tweeting and retweeting articles that we – for any reason – find interesting.

It used to be the task of daily newspapers and television news shows to select from and condense massive amounts of information into digestible and finite units of news. While they still do this, consumers today have alternatives. If we used to have corporate curation of news, today we also have a social curation of news. What is your Twitter feed if not socially curated news? However, the notion of a feed reveals the non-finite nature of information flows on the Internet, the very opposite of a newspaper or a televised news show. Is it as good as a REAL newspaper?

Please feel free to suggest in the comment area, what you think should be added to this set of tasks. Should You Curate Social Media Content? [Chart included. Does your social media content need curation? Before you answer consider the following: With the exploding quantity of user-generated content that continues to proliferate across social media platforms and other websites, both consumers and companies are challenged to find the optimal content to meet their needs. In the form of comments, reviews, photographs, videos, presentations and ratings, social media content is growing at an exponential rate, despite the fact that 90% of visitors lurk.

Further, Forrester Research found that, the growth of social media creators, as a group, is holding steady. Added to this is the challenge that by their nature digital experiences are fragmented. Our attention is distributed across a variety of screens, networks and forms of communication. We’re constantly receiving a broad slurp of media and messaging in which we listen for others like ourselves because those voices ring true.

Social Magazines: What's Their Business Model? Yesterday we looked at the latest "social magazine" app to hit the iPad, called NewsMix. It's very similar to Flipboard, the innovator and leader in this small but rapidly evolving market. Social magazines is a term that Flipboard came up with. It's come to mean a News Reader type application for the iPad that has the visual appeal of a magazine, along with the social media features common to this era of the Web (integration with Facebook, Twitter and other social apps).

Social magazine apps will become a key application for tablets over the next couple of years. Also we will see existing magazines on the iPad, such as Wired and TIME, evolve to become more like Flipboard - with better customization of magazine sections, whizzier UI, more social media functionality, and so on. An important question for Flipboard, NewsMix and other such apps is: how will they make money? Wired, TIME and other specialist magazines will rely on the subscription model (once it gets sorted out for the iPad). WhoSampled.com - WhoSampled Celebration of Curation Mix. Curator? Really? // NoahBrier.com. I am a bit of a stickler for words. Not like some people, who are super serious about it, but I get very annoyed when people throw words around carelessly. Innovation is a good one and I get in arguments every other day about whether “intent” in relation to web economics and marketing means what people mean it to mean (most of the time it doesn’t).

The newest one is curation. I’m a bit less sure about this, but I have a feeling that all these people throwing it around are using it incorrectly. I’m not sure what the word should be, as most of the time they are describing the act of collecting and publishing content produced by others, though I really like this take from Tomorrow Museum (from March, 2010): A social media curator is a essentially a selector. I think editor is right, but then an editor often is a person responsible for compiling content produced by people within an organization (or hired by that organization). Postling.
