TIBCO's enterprise 2.0 offering tibbr has been a long time in the making. We first covered it in Oct. 2009. It was finally released from beta today, and the reaction has been positive. It seems that TIBCO took its time and got the product right. It may be a bit late in the game, but Tibco has serious enterprise credibility and a solid product. This, along with the announcement that Microsoft's OfficeTalk may be commercially released, reminds us that there is still room at the enterprise 2.0 table for products from established enterprise vendors. So what's the big deal about tibbr? Active Directory and LDAP integration Both cloud-based and on-premise offerings Enterprise software integration (Oracle, SAP, Salesforce.com, etc.)
It can aggregate social media, business intelligence, ERP and more into a single interface. Even enterprise 2.0 curmudgeon Dennis Howlett is impressed: Howlett says that unlike other enterprise 2.0 solutions, tibbr doesn't look like a solution looking for a problem. On being a king of curation | neilsanderson.com. Once upon a time I was a reporter, then an editor. Now I’m a curator, part of a growing industry that tries to help people find their way through the flood of news and information. Today, I got my 15 minutes of fame, when Steve Rosenbaum, author of Curation Nation, bestowed his “Curation King” award on me for the work I do at Eqentia, curating services such as the Future of News among many others. Thanks Steve! Apparently wearing the crown to work is optional. Interestingly, the sort of work we do at Eqentia – aggregating, filtering and disseminating news – is very similar to what Steve does with video through his new company magnify.net.
In my spare time, I use magnify.net to manage a video page for the Ontario Science Centre Amateur Radio Club. About the author I live in Auckland, New Zealand, where I manage digital performance for a publishing company. Eqentia content curation gives control to information consumer « Marketing to Business Executives Blog. Managing the Internet message. The Internet can be a daunting challenge for advertising firms. There are hundreds of blogs filled with praises and rants, widgets on websites bustling with tweets and mobile videos that can cloud a consumer’s perceptions about a company. How does a business take back control of its own marketing message? Minneapolis-based Curation Station aims to address this problem.
The five-employee firm sells software that allows marketers to pick relevant links, photos and videos and post the information in seconds to a website. The company says it’s helping marketers embrace the concept of “curation,” in which companies act like museum curators and select content created by their customers, not the marketers themselves. “Until the Internet was invented, [marketers] created the content. Curation Station says its software reduces the burden on advertising firms that often have to go through several programs and spend hours to update relevant content on corporate websites. Is automated content curation helping or hurting? Every time I publish a post and hashtag it with #socialmedia on Twitter, I get notifications about how someone's latest "Social Media Daily" being released with "Top Stories" by me and others has just been published. Most of you in the social media world are aware of sites like Paper.li - they allow you to set up an account and automatically aggregate content based on hashtag and organize it into what looks like an online news publication.
In probably one of the noisiest chapters in the online content era, I agree with the need for some help with meaningful content curation in an effort to cut through the noise that has rendered most high-level hashtag streams worthless because they're so bloated. Initially I thought the Paper.li type service made sense until lots of users I follow or that follow me, started using it. I definitely don't blame the users themselves for their intent to organize their content for their followers.
It can feel like taking a cab in New York. [image source] Cadmus Offers Algorithmic Twitter Feed Curation. Filtering, curation, aggregation and relevance have long been touted as the next important steps for social media. In actual fact we’ve had curation services in the form of Digg, Reddit, StumbleUpon, Delicious and many more for a long time. However, the questions “How do I find the blog post, tweet, facebook update, photo or check-in that is most relevant to me?” And “How do I know I’ve not missed a really important piece of news?” Are still asked daily.
So, there still isn’t a definite answer – or a definitive service. The Cadmus application attempts to answer a problem as outlined in a blog entry introducing Cadmus. The problem we are trying to solve here is that we don’t have all day to stay on top of these social media services. The app lets you add services such as Twitter, any RSS feed and FriendFeed, but the API currently focuses purely on Twitter as a source of information including methods to curate posts, trends, comments, links, searches, lists and find related tweets.
Spin out an iPhone app prototype ASAP with Cabana. Cabana, an online service that lets developers quickly create a mobile application for the iPhone or other mobile devices, announced today that it is coming out of beta at the Launch conference in San Francisco. The application lets developers drag buttons and other simple functions onto a test screen for a mobile application. They can then dive into a flow-chart style interface that basically lets them program the app with some simple functions. They can add external services, like a Twitter or Instagram module, or simple functions like a refresh button or paging to the previous screen. Cabana is essentially trying to be the WordPress of mobile app development.
Just as WordPress and other simple blogging services made it easy to quickly create websites, Cabana is trying to make it easy to quickly create a mobile application if a designer has a good idea. That’s because many of the best ideas come from designers, not programmers, said Reeve Thompson, Cabana’s founder. New curation tool Bundlr sets sights on ‘untangling the web’ | Journalism.co.uk Editors' Blog. Curation seems to be all the rage these days and lots of new tools are popping up and attracting the attention of journalists. Among them is Bundlr, a new and free tool for online curation, clipping, aggregation and sharing web content easily. The creators behind Bundlr are two 23-year-old developers, Filipe Batista and Sérgio Santos, from Coimbra, Portugal, who are both just finishing graduate degree in informatics engineering. Their eureka moment came while thinking about how to aggregate content about a particular conference.
“After attending a great conference, we thought about ways to show how it really was to be at the event. Share photos, videos, reports and all that was being published online, in a single shareable page. But we couldn’t figure out a simple way to do it.” So what does Bundlr really do and where does it differ from Storify and other curation tools? “First, our tool guesses beforehand what the user wants in a webpage. “There is an information overload.

Well, yeah, but Amplify is a really good one to actually use. You know how you’re always being told you need to engage with your followers, fans/likes, connections, etc. via social media? Amplify actually focuses on the conversation aspect, making it easier to do as you’re told. To put it another way: You can get a conversation going on Twitter, but it’s really hard to maintain a meaningful discussion when you’re limited to 140 characters.
On Amplify, you can have that conversation. Amplify is not a social media dashboard, like Hootsuite, however. While it does allow you to quickly autopost information across a variety of social media platforms, you skip the middleman. So, how can you use Amplify for content curation and thought leadership? Content Curation Amplify gives you a lot of control over the content you post: You do not need to share an entire article or blog post, for instance. Thought Leadership Google+ After Its Big Redesign, Gawker Media Pageviews Seem To Be Coming Back. BlogHer: How a Network Became a Curated Community. If the first curators were bloggers, which seems likely, then blogging is very much on the early side of the curve in terms of where media is going.
Blogging and curation are like parts of a set of Russian nesting dolls, with individual bloggers increasingly becoming link gatherers and curators. And on the network side, the emergence of both blog-content networks and blog-ad networks are providing new sources of revenue for bloggers and new aggregated-advertising opportunity for marketers. Early on, back in 2005, three extraordinary women noticed that something was missing from the Internet.
They knew that women were blogging, but there wasn't a central organizing place for them to meet, share ideas, and build a community.
