Guest post by Courtney Seiter Show of hands: Who has enough time every day to read up on your industry’s news? Oh, and everything new you need to know to market your business? Yeah, me neither. But knowing what’s going on in your space is critical for content creation, competitive intelligence and social media efforts. To cut through the glut of information to make sure the good stuff rises to the top, I employ a lot of help in the form of content curation tools.

Utopic.me launches new design and visual bookmarking to help discovery Curating and sharing links on the web is a hot space. Delicious has relaunched, and services we’ve written about like Snip.it are trying to get you to share all of your links on its service. Utopic goes a step further in helping you discover and share links, videos, music, and pictures that are relevant to you with its brand new gorgeous design and visual bookmarking launch. Utopic had this to say about its new visual bookmarking feature: With one click you can now save, tag, share and later quickly recover anything on the internet that you find interesting. Discovery When you sign-up for Utopic, you can connect your Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Google reader accounts. Once you’ve connected your accounts, Utopic takes about a half hour to go through your links. The design is visually stunning, and doesn’t make you feel like there are too many options, something other bookmark sharing sites suffer from. Sharing is caring Sharing content can be done in two ways.

Quel outil de curation pour votre marque ? — Curiouser Quel outil de curation pour votre marque ? Méthodologie Pour réaliser cette infographie, nous avons privilégié les outils qui permettent à la marque de se présenter comme expert en proposant une ligne éditoriale propre, nous avons donc écarté les outils de curation automatique. En effet, ces derniers ne permettent pas à l’utilisateur de contrôler ce qui est publié. Lors de nos observations, nous avons pu constater que parmi le nombre très important d’outils existants, peu sont en réalité directement utilisables par une marque car peu proposent une réelle éditorialisation et dans un but de publication : c’est à dire la possibilité de choisir exactement les contenus, de les catégoriser, les tagger, les annoter ou les commenter mais aussi d’être maître de leur mise en forme. Nous avons étudié les outils que nous avions jugés adéquats selon plusieurs critères : La marge de manœuvre concernant l’éditorialisation Le niveau d’interaction possible des lecteurs En curaclusion Alix pour Curiouser

You Publish Using Diigo for Collaborative Curation | Fusion Finds Image via CrunchBase Recently I’ve had some inquiries about the best tool to use for a group to collaborate and share articles, videos, images, documents, etc. My initial thought was a wiki, but now that I’ve fully investigated the features of Diigo (dee’go), that is the tool I would recommend. Diigo, an online curation tool, is another one of my top 10 tools that I use every day. I use Diigo to curate content, share it, and to find content. The Science Department, while working on their Common Assessment Plan, is using Diigo as a collaborative space by creating a private group and sharing curated content with that group. 3 Ways to Curate Content Bookmark: When Mr. Highlight: Mr. Sticky Note: Mr. You can also associate a Sticky Note with a Highlight.

Social Content Curation | Content Curation Software Finding and sharing really good, targeted content that your Circles will +1, share, and talk about is a chore. That is, if you don’t have a killer tool to discover, review, and post content easily. Enter CurationSoft. Watch what it does on Google+… What does this mean? Aside from finding and dragging and dropping content in just seconds, it also means you will find things people aren’t already talking about instead of just passing around what others are passing around. It is pretty much guaranteed the video that I found and curated in the example above won’t be posted by anyone else on this day. CurationSoft allows you to go deeper than re-sharing stuff that you find ON Google+ or other social networks. What I shared above is not trending. That means more people adding you to their circles and more reach for you. Look what happened in the first 20 minutes of posting the Mari Smith video: Needless to say, a random re-share of an animated GIF won’t get people jumping on it this fast.

We’re Curating Cool Curators (and Want More!) “Cool Curators” is the Flipboard name for people who collect and share (usually via Twitter or a blog) interesting stuff from around the Web. These folks have their own category in our Content Guide, and still others are scattered about in places like Art & Photos and Tech & Science. A few more cool curators are building curated sections just for Flipboard. Take @DodoFlip, for example, whose collection of “endangered objects (and other stuff)” is actually tied to a book released by HarperCollins. And then there are Flipboard users like Jake Peterson, Candice Lopez Quimpo, and Jum Dypico, all of whom recently curated Twitter lists devoted to themes near and dear to their hearts: for Jake that\’s minimalism, for Candice it\’s her hometown of Manila, and for aspiring artist Jum it\’s the world of comics. We\’re highlighting these curators throughout the Content Guide this week, on the Featured tab and in categories like Living, Local and (of course) Cool Curators.

New curation tool a boon for genetic biologists With the BeeSpace Navigator, University of Illinois researchers have created both a curation tool for genetic biologists and a new approach to searching for information. The project was a collaboration between researchers at the Institute for Genomic Biology and the department of computer science. Led by Bruce Schatz, professor and head of medical information science at the U. of I., the team described the software and its applications in the web server issue of the journal Nucleic Acids Research. When biologists need information about a gene or its function, they turn to curators, who keep and organize vast quantities of information from academic papers and scientific studies. "The question was, could you make an automatic version of that, which is accurate enough to be helpful?" Schatz and his team developed BeeSpace Navigator, a free online software that draws upon databases of scholarly publications. The efficiency of BeeSpace Navigator is in its specific searches.

Introducing Bing Editors’ Picks: A Guide to Great Sites - Search Blog - Site Blogs - Bing Community 20 plateformes de curation à expérimenter Curator, curation... Néologisme, buzzword ou simple phénomène marketing, un constat est à faire : de plus en plus de plateformes dédiées à cette activité se développent sur le web. Outils qui, au-delà de leur utilité pour formaliser, classer et diffuser une veille, se révèlent aussi intéressant à observer dans une problématique de gestion de la réputation en ligne. Si le « curator » fait de la veille, et que de plus il sait/peut la médiatiser, alors les outils qu'il utilise peuvent (doivent ?) Et même si (nous sommes bien d'accord) ces plateformes rappellent étrangement certaines de bookmarking, qu'elles sont pour la plupart étroitement liées à Twitter et qu'elles surfent sur une terminologie nouvelle (mais des usages bien réels), leurs éditeurs les dénomment d'eux-même : plateformes de curation. Quel(s) intérêt(s) pour la gestion de la réputation en ligne ? ==> Tout d'abord formaliser et médiatiser une veille sur un sujet précis. Les plateformes humaines Curated.by Chripstory Keepstream

Intel AppUp and the problem of content curation Home » News Intel held its annual AppUp Elements conference in Seattle last week. Amongst the announcements including that of Tizen , one of the more relevant topics touched upon was content curation. The session led by Peter Biddle , GM AppUp Products , was a fresh look at the app curation model and how AppUp could innovate. The problem of app discovery is not one to be overlooked. Add in the problem of gaining customer interest and you have another big task on your hand. The idea here is to allow consumers to build their own sub app-stores.

[Curation] : Pearltrees, Scoop.it, Storify, Paper.li,... à la recherche de l'information ultime. Cet article a été publié il y a 6 ans 7 mois 20 jours, il est donc possible qu’il ne soit plus à jour. Les informations proposées sont donc peut-être expirées. On le sait maintenant, en plus du terme de community manager, celui de curation ou content curator (définition selon Vincent Berthelot : « Le curator est celui qui transforme l’information qu’il a recueilli pour en faire une agrégation concise et porteuse de sens soit pour information soit pour décision. ») fait une entrée fracassante dans le domaine du marketing social. Même si ce dernier n’est pas nouveau, et que les premières théories autour de celui-ci date des alentours de 2006, il semble que l’activité de curation devienne très importante. Heureusement, afin de toujours retrouver le nord, il existe des boussoles très efficaces. Pearltrees, des perles très sociales : Dans les outils de curation précédemment cités, Pearltrees se distingue de ces derniers par son interface et son ergonomie particulière.
