Do you share links on Twitter, Facebook or Linkedin? Write a blog? Do you answer questions on Quora or vote on HackerNews?
Flipboard may have been first to market with their Twitter and Facebook curated news service, but they certainly won’t be the last. The popular news application scours your Facebook and Twitter streams for links and then builds a personalized news feed for you based on what your friends were sharing online. Flipboard is pretty amazing, and now we’re starting to see some real innovation in the field with Sobees ‘ NewsMix. Flipboard still rules the roost when it comes to socially curated news, but having newcomers in the field is a great idea. We’re glad Sobees took up the challenge.
Quora est un réseau social basé sur un principe simple: posez une question, vous obtiendrez une réponse. Ou plutôt, des réponses. Quora est surtout depuis quelques jours, la coqueluche des blogueurs “influents” et des médias techniques francophones. Pour Techcrunch , Quora pourrait connaitre un succès équivalent à Twitter.
La curation est dans l’ère du temps et l’actualité de Del.icio.us , l’outil de partage de liens de Yahoo! qui est vraisemblablement voué à être revendu ou mourir de sa belle mort, a remis un coup de projecteur sur ce secteur resté dans l’ombre depuis un bon moment. Scoop.it , le nouveau service (encore en “beta”) de l’entreprise qui édite déjà Goojet s’attaque à ce sujet après Pearltrees, autre startup hexagonale, couverte ici . L’approche est cependant différente, mettant l’accent sur la curation comme outil d’expression des utilisateurs, appelés ici curateurs, créant des médias thématiques que l’on peut suivre, ou autrement appelés “verticaux” dans l’industrie de la presse écrite. 100 invitations à la beta privée de Scoop.it sont disponibles ici. Principe de fonctionnement :
Dr. Serkan Toto currently works as the first and only Asia-based writer for the TechCrunch network, mainly covering Japan-related technology and web companies for TechCrunch, CrunchGear and MobileCrunch. Serkan also works full-time as an independent web and mobile industry consultant with a focus on the Japanese market. He is sept-lingual, holds an MBA and is a PhD in economics. Serkan... → Learn More Curation, the concept of filtering and organizing online content to separate signal from the increasing noise in social media, is currently one of the most discussed buzz words in the web industry.
The wake of the Delicious debacle has been very fruitful for a few other services that occupy a similar Web curation space. One that popped up in the comments in our original post on Delicious was Trunk.ly, which sounded promising for not only offering to collect the links users share on social networks, but to make them searchable. Saving a bunch of links on "library school" is one thing, but being able to parse them out and subdivide them by search, that is where the beauty of data curation lies.

Trailmeme is a new kind of publishing. Trails -- visual maps of Web content -- allow you to go from feeling overwhelmed and anxious by the flood of disorganized real-time Web content coming at you, to a sense of control and mastery.
Beyond most curation tools' capability, BagTheWeb enables users to build networks of bags. This way bags can be linked together to provide rich and complete information about any topic.
@Isotope: Very usefull comments. Thanks. by lavigiedelacom Jan 31
Last night was interesting. I was sitting down to do some last-minute research for a post I was working on (this one) when news began to break that North Korea had just attacked South Korea. As usual, news was flowing through Twitter faster than any one source, but I needed a way to filter the noise.
There seems to have been a rash of startups based on Twitter in London. Some of the best known are Tweetdeck and Tweetmeme, but others have appeared like Curated.by (which just moved out to the Valley). But one which has been bubbling under and, like curated.by is focused on curated realtime streams, nsyght.com. We covered their relaunch last year when they announced Angel funding from a group of investors which included Shawn Kernes (co-founder of Stubhub). Nsyght’s approach is that the product retrieves information from a user’s entire social graph (Twitter, Facebook, digg, Vimeo, Stumbleupon, Flickr, Delicious etc).
Storify is a tool that allows users to ‘create stories using social media’. Storify caught our attention because it taps into two macro-level trends, or notions that we’ve been discussing for some time – curation and storytelling. The tool has applicability for journalists, bloggers, professionals, brands and even casual, personal online storytelling (i.e., “storifying” personal travels). One feature we found particularly noteworthy about Storify – vs. other curation tools like Posterous or Tumblr – is the ability to create a story utilizing specific lines of text from a larger story (that most relevant to the story you’re trying to tell). The bookmarklet allows you to select lines of Text or individual Tweets from a broader page, news article or website, and to add commentary that will result in your personalized story referencing key and potentially varied sources.
