People Curation I just finished reading a great post by Ville Kilkku titled: Klout, Triberr, paper.li, and the future of content curation. It made me realize that people curation should be a lot of what we are really talking about here. But before I get to that, let me step through what he talks about. He takes us through a few different models of content curation. I’m going to need to compare these to my post on Marketing via Aggregation, Filtering and Curation – Tools and Resources to see if this classification changes things. Individual content curator tools – example scoop.itCrowdsourced content curation (Digg and StumbleUpon)Automated or semi-automated content curation (paper.li)Manually curate people, not content (Triberr)Automatically filter people (Klout) He then talks about three major trends in content curation: From individual content curators to crowdsourced content curation: Individuals cannot keep up with the pace of new content, even though they have better discovery tools than before.
Che cos’è l’intelligenza collettiva? Pierre Lévy. Che cos’è l’intelligenza collettiva? Che cos’è l’intelligenza collettiva? Un’intelligenza distribuita ovunque: questo è il nostro assioma di partenza. sa può diventare prezioso. Un’intelligenza continuamente valorizzata. Il coordinamento in tempo reale delle intelligenze implica dispositivi di comunicazione che, al di là di una certa soglia quantitativa, dipendono obbligatoriamente dalle tecnologie digitali dell’informazione. Giungere a una mobilitazione effettiva delle competenze. E per reperirle, bisogna riconoscerle in tutta la loro diversità. L’ideale dell’intelligenza collettiva implica la valorizzazione tecnica, economica, giuridica e umana di un’intelligenza distribuita ovunque, al fine di innescare una dinamica positiva di riconoscimento e di mobilitazione delle competenze. L’intelligenza collettiva, ricordiamolo, è un’intelligenza distribuita in ogni luogo, permanentemente valorizzata, coordinata e mobilitata in tempo reale.
Demain, le 5e écran Bruno Marzloff, sociologue et animateur du groupe Chronos, un cabinet d’études spécialisé dans les problématiques de mobilités et de déplacements, nous livre ici une réflexion sur l’avenir de notre relation à la ville, à notre environnement urbain, pour mieux comprendre comment nous allons interagir avec lui, et comment cet environnement même va devenir le support de nos médias. L’urbain est-il un média ? “Le nouveau média, c’est les gens”, disait Pierre Bellanger dans un récent article de Netéconomie (“Le réseau social : avenir des télécoms”). Si on entend par là l’extension du domaine du collaboratif au niveau du téléphone mobile, ce n’est pas une surprise. Cette place centrale du mobile dans l’univers média se renforce, ajoute Pierre Bellanger, parce que : “Qui sait mieux ce que je fais, ce que je regarde, ce que j’écoute, avec qui je converse et où je me trouve que la machine qui porte ces activités ?” Reste que cette évolution n’est pas achevée.

Content Curation by people not Ai « PrePrint Currently, I am exploring digital content curation and have been searching out visually interesting curation tools. I initially started with Vodpod as a way of curating all the audio-visual material I stumbled upon. Vodpod is very effective for collecting videos and following the video collection streams of other collectors. You can collect videos from others that are of interest and others can collect from you. It is also a great place to store the gems you find. I have embedded a link to my vodpod account on my blog as a way of sharing further. Another curation tool I started with last month is Scoop.it. Scoop.it provides opportunities to follow other Scoopers and to even offer suggestions for their Scoop.it topics. What I have learnt from my Scoop.it adventure is Even with my keywords, I still manage to come to content that has no relevance to my topic.I still need to trawl the web to find interesting sources that have been missed.

The Rise Of Pinterest And The Shift From Search To Discovery The current toast of the web is Pinterest, the visual pinboard for collecting and sharing content online. The “pinning” phenomena is spreading from its modest beginnings to appearing in national media outlets. There are over 2.5m monthly active Pinterest users on Facebook. A co-founder of the site has over 500,000 followers on Pinterest. Ron Conway (an investor in the site) remarked that Pinterest’s user growth rate is what Facebook’s was five years ago. Earlier in 2011, it was valued through venture financing at $40m and, most recently, just a few months later, at around $200m. What is going on here? Pinterest is growing for a variety of reasons. Despite the hockey-stick growth, doubts exist. I’ve been tracking Pinterest for a while now and, to me, the single most important aspect of the site is that it has deeply tapped into an important shift in consumer and purchasing behavior. A site like Pinterest could help bring some of that discovery online. Photo Credit: Flickr/fdecomite
Les nouveaux médias sociaux ne sont peut-être pas si nouveaux que ça Le passé aide toujours à comprendre le présent. Xavier de la Porte nous ouvre cette semaine la porte de l'histoire de notre rapport aux technologies. "L'infobésité", l'une des plaie de l'internet, est-elle propre au réseau ? La lecture de la semaine, il s'agit d'un post du blog que Cynthia Haven, critique littéraire, tient sur le site de l'université de Stanford, en Californie. "Si vous vous sentez submergés par les médias sociaux", commence Cynthia Haven, "sachez que vous n'êtes pas les premiers dans l'Histoire. "Le 17e siècle a vu la conversation exploser", explique Anaïs Saint-Jude, directrice du programme BiblioTech de Stanford, "c'était la version moderne de la surcharge d'information". Et le service public des postes a été pour nos ancêtres l'équivalent de ce que sont pour nous Facebook, Twitter, Google + et les smartphones.

Return of the Editor: Why Human Filters are the Future of the Web Before news aggregators, content curators, and Google’s omnipotent algorithm, the world’s information was sorted by real human beings. In the web’s next phase, argues Karyn Campbell, the old-fashioned editor is poised for a comeback. If web 1.0 was about websites and 2.0 the power of network connectivity, whatever 3.0 looks like, better filters will play a big part. The web has become too big and noisy. The design community has helped guide us through some of the slush, and search technology has made leaps filtering and personalizing information for us. But while algorithms once threatened to replace gatekeepers, online media will see a move back to the future: professional, human filters (the artists formerly known as editors) will play an integral role in the next web after all. Content beats search and social Studies show that content sites drive much more traffic than search engines and social media links. Drudge still knows his audience’s tastes better than any algorithm.
Pourquoi iOS est plus disruptif que vous ne le pensez Voilà maintenant 4 ans qu’Apple a lancé son iPhone sur le marché. Quatre années intenses qui ont complètement bouleversé le secteur de la téléphonie mobile, mais pas seulement ! Avec le lancement de l’iPad l’année dernière, Apple à initié un mouvement plus profond de transformation des usages qui vont modeler notre façon de consommer les contenus et services en ligne. Salué pour sa stabilité et sa simplicité de prise en main, le système d’exploitation D’apple est en fait bien plus disruptif qu’il n’y parait, car iOS rend obsolète les éléments d’interface et modalités d’interaction que nous avons côtoyés ces dernières décennies (lire à ce sujet : Quelle interface pour le système d’exploitation de demain ?). La fin de la souris Avec iOs, Apple a su populariser les interfaces tactiles signant ainsi la fin de la souris. La question que l’on se pose maintenant est la suivante : comment bénéficier des apports des interfaces tactiles avec les ordinateurs traditionnels ? La fin du clavier
Everyone wants to be a news filter now As the avalanche of information coming through social networks and real-time tools like Twitter continues to grow, the need for filters to make sense of that tsunami of data also increases, and it seems as though everyone has a different way of trying to solve that problem. Facebook threw its hat into the ring this week with what it says is an improved “newspaper-style” news feed that highlights important content, while Digg has just launched “newsrooms” aimed at doing the same thing, and online influence-ranking service Klout is rolling out topic pages based on what’s being shared by those with influence. But will any of these be able to solve the filtering problem, or will they just add another source of noise? Facebook says that its changes (which my colleague Colleen covered for GigaOM) are designed to create “your own personal newspaper” when you log in to the social network, by showing you what the site believes are the most important items at the top of your news feed.
Sciences : L'informatique modifie-t-elle notre manière de penser ? Tous les mois dans Le Figaro, des membres de l'Académie des sciences répondent aux grandes questions de l'actualité scientifique. Par Gérard Berry, informaticien, membre de l'Académie des Sciences. Un premier constat s'impose: la différence de perception entre les générations. Les plus anciens ont vu arriver le numérique sur le tard, souvent avec méfiance. La révolution numérique de la fin du XXe siècle a profondément modifié la relation entre une information et l'objet physique qui lui sert de support. La numérisation induit ainsi des inversions mentales, autrement dit des retournements de perception quant à des actions élémentaires de la vie courante. Contrainte d'espace abolie On retrouve les mêmes inversions avec le téléphone ou la géolocalisation. En 1999, quand je voyageais, j'achetais une carte, je la dépliais, je cherchais l'endroit où je me trouvais et ma destination, puis je visualisais l'itinéraire à suivre.

Content curation: computers and humans creating collaborative intelligence We don’t have a problem of “information overload”… we have a problem of “filter failure”. And even as you’re reading this massive money is being spent to create better filters. And the best filters are those which allow humans and computers to both do what they do best… in a new thing called “collaborative intelligence”. Content Curation. I think it’s pretty simple. It could be said that most journalists are really content curators. Many bloggers do that. If you’re a fellow bloggers, you have a success formula if all you so is faithfully bring your readers up-to-date curated content on a given niche or subject-matter. I’ll have more to say on this in the coming weeks and months. Karan Bavandi is the founder of KBucket.com (a curation platform I’m still figuring out). Here are a couple of good slide decks on the topic. Shel Holtz is a very well known marketing dude online, and he’s all over curation too… Here are a couple of curation tools (or platforms) to look into.
Announcing People and Content Discovery Posted on August 2, 2011 by william We’re calling this latest slew of features Eqentia+, in sympathy with GooglePlus. Our users have been asking for people and content discovery to go alongside our contextual and actionable content indexing, as well as increased social media integration points. We have responded with the following innovative new features. Content DiscoveryContent discovery comes in two flavors. One,- for the end-user, and two,- for the curator. Recommended Content from a user’s Personal News Page And for the professional curator, Eqentia will recommend new content that’s closely aligned with the existing content that’s being filtered. Curation Suggestions for the Professional Curator are added via a one-click action Our users have asked for serendipitous content discovery to complement our guided content filtering. People DiscoveryOne of the great benefits of social media is that via social gestures, people are associating themselves with content that matters to them.
The Human Algorithm When I became a reporter, almost 20 years ago, my job was to dig up scarce, precious facts and deliver them to a passive audience. Today, scarcity has been replaced by an unimaginable surplus and that audience is actively building its own newsroom. Journalists the world over are struggling to cope with a social and mobile tsunami of ‘user generated content’, to use an increasingly inadequate phrase. A common mistake for those seeking to cope with this profound disruption is to confuse technology with innovation. Genuine innovation requires a fundamental shift in how journalists think about their role in a changed world. I find it helps to think of curation as three central questions: * Discovery: How do we find valuable social media content? Without a doubt, verification is the greatest challenge. With some like-minded souls, I founded Storyful in early 2010. This video records the ebb and flow of a pitched battle between riot police and protestors on the Qasr al Nile bridge in Cairo.
