Seven Tools for Finding Great Content to Share Not enough time to find the best content to share with your audience? Too many articles to read to keep up with on what's going on in your industry? Many great tools are available to help you share content. In this article, I focus on seven low-cost tools that will help with you find and share great content. 1. Scoop.it is a tool for finding and curating content. If you join Scoop.it, you create boards around specific topics, and on those boards you add links to content you find relevant to those topics. You can also follow the boards of others who are actively finding content that could be relevant to your interests. A benefit to using Scoop.it is that if you add your content onto boards, people will follow you and share out your content. 2. PostPlanner is an app specifically designed for managing content on Facebook. One really interesting aspect to PostPlanner is the content discovery engine. 3. Swayy is a tool just launched this year and has a lot of promise. 4. 5. 6. 7. Summary

The 50+ Best Ways to Curate and Share Your Favorite Social Media and News Content There’s so much information online just begging to be curated: news, social media, images, video, websites… the list goes on. Reading great content from my favorite blogs and websites is one of my favorite down-time activities. It’s also an important part of my job as an IT Director because I need to stay on top of the latest trends, announcements and tech news. Just a few years ago, the tools I used to use for reading and consuming content were Google Reader, StumbleUpon, Digg, Delicious… you know all the big names. More recently I’ve discovered some great new tools to read and share my favorite content which I’ve included here in this list.

A Powerful Tool to Curate and Create Great Content that Google Loves Most progressive and “cool” companies and brands have embraced social media. They created a Facebook page, a Twitter account and even have a YouTube channel. If they are real marketing pioneers then they may even have learned how to spell Instagram and know that “pinning” is not just something done by the grannies at the weekly sewing club. The “geniuses” even know that “Vine” is not just something that grows in the fields of France that leads to much glass clinking, bad jokes and wild dancing. So the power of social media has been identified to assist and even supercharge creating online brand awareness through the leverage of ”crowd marketing” that is facilitated by customers and fans sharing your content. The smart cookies even know that unique fresh content that is popular and resides on your website can provide better search results. That is gold for any brand. The challenges But despite the opportunities there are many challenges. I know what discipline, skill and passion is needed. 1.
Five types of content curation tools for journalists The opening panel session in our upcoming news:rewired digital journalism conference on 19 April will cover the growing role of journalists in curating content from social media and the wider web. With two weeks to go today (tickets still available here) we decided to highlight some useful tools for differing sectors of content curation. This is by no means an exhaustive or definitive list so feel free to recommend any further tools or platforms in the comments section below. General By cogdogblog by Flickr. Some rights reserved. Storify Storify originally only allowed users to gather material from social media sites such as Twitter, Facebook, Flickr and YouTube but this has grown to now include a wide range of content sources including Tumblr posts, Instagram photos, google searches and embedded URLs. Many news organisations use the platform to curate stories. Bundlr Visualisation By jared on Flickr. Pearltrees Mattermap Video By jsawkins on Flickr.

Curating Content for a WordPress Blog (How I Do It) If you’re a regular reader of the ManageWP blog then you know that my last couple of posts have either been about creating or curating content for a WordPress blog. In one post I discussed a simple method I’ve developed for concepting months worth of great blog posts. In my most recent post I attempted to answer a question that has been bothering me for a while: what is the most efficient way to sort through and curate a large number of online sources for a WordPress blog? I tried using an autoblogging plugin but as you might expect it performed wonderfully as an aggregator but poorly in terms of curation. So for today’s post (as a follow up to both of those articles) I’d like to explain a method I’ve come up with that allows me to sort through and curate up to 700 sources a day for my visual arts curation blog. A feat I am quite proud of regardless of the fact that for me, it needs to be executable in just a few hours in order for it to be ideal. Here’s what you’ll need to follow along:
New Wave of Curation Platforms Hit Targeted Audiences There is more to content marketing than writing for Google’s robots. A new wave of sites based on topic curation, both human and algorithmic, are creating opportunities to reach targeted audiences — if you know what these new hybrid curators are really looking for. Three examples, Fuego, Upworthy and Prismatic, reveal a range of approaches to presenting compelling content to a given audience. Fuego, to start, is really just the product of a very specific social graph — the people on Twitter whom The Nieman Journalism Lab at Harvard has identified as thought leaders on the future of journalism. “The beauty of using an algorithm is in its scalability,” says Toronto-based tech blogger and marketing specialist, Herbert Lui. “The beauty of using an algorithm is in its scalability.” There are two human aspects to Fuego’s curation, the selection of the people to include in the set of users and then the choices of which links to tweet by those users. Upworthy is literally socially-minded.
How To Recognize Great Content Curation: Curating Curators (Thanks to Giuseppe Mauriello for finding this deck) Dilbert characters are talking about content curation.. Scoop.It one of the premiere content creation tools is now out beta. In my own curation of content, I’m discovering many more content curators out there. That prompted Robin Good, a master curator, to ask “How do we distinguish good curation from bad?” • Optimizes • Edits • Formats • Selects • Excerpts • Writes • Classifies • Links • Personalizes • Vets • Credits • Filters • Taps • Suggests • Searches • Scouts • Hacks Filters and Searches • Is Transparent • Recommends • Crowdsources One best practice of good curators that Robin identifies and that I find very useful in my own curation practice, is to have a small group of trusted curators on your topic that you follow. I think a great curator is a good listener and a keen observer who selects content that “speaks to the audience’s listening”. Does your nonprofit use content curation?
