Scoop.it. Goojet lance Scoop.it, entretien avec son Directeur Général, Guillaume Decugis. New Blogging Tool Called Scoop.it Lots of Fun — Zen Copy. By Karen Daniels New “Blogging” Tool – Scoop.it There’s a new tool in town called Scoop.it. In essence you pick your topic/title (if available) and then you put in search terms which the system uses – which means as it scans social media streams so the results will only be as good as the terms you put in. You “curate” the posts – keeping or deleting as desired. You can add your own posts, put in specific sites or places you want Scoop.it to search (such as your blog) and you’re off to the races. Added info from Marc on the Scoop.it team: in addition you can also scoop any content directly while browsing the web (with a bookmarklet: a button you can install in your browser tool bar); and anyone can also suggest posts for you to accept or not into your topic(s) (this is the collaborative touch).

We all need to make sense of the mass of information that comes to us, and present it in a format that is easy to consume and communicate. So, we all tend to create our own “magazine” adopting a variety of criteria – and as any curator, we make decisions on what we want to collect, highlight, and share. In the end, digital curators are not fundamentally different from traditional curators. The market offers multiple platforms: Flipboard, Paper.li, Yoono Socialzine, Keepstream, Qrait, Pearltrees, Bagtheweb, Curated.by, Storify or Zite, to name a few.
Recently, I started to play with Scoop.it as a beta user, and liked its strong topic centric social media approach.

Magazine-Style Scoop.it Just Might Be the Perfect Curation Tool for Teachers. Finding educational resources on the web can be a time-consuming job. Once you find the resource, it must be categorized in some way. Bookmarking is one solution but lately there has been a surge of curation tools. I have written about Storify for Educators and Curated.by as possible curation tools for teachers. I liked the fact that you could embed Storify right into your blog/website. That’s where Scoop.it comes into play. Scoop.it Unfortunately, Scoop.it is in private beta so you have to apply for an invite.
