5 tools to help you master Pinterest Tweet A look at Repinly, PinMe, Pinpuff, PinReach & Pinerly Target audience: Nonprofits, cause organizations, foundations, NGOs, social enterprises, businesses, educators, Pinterest users. Guest post by Beth Kanterbethkanter.org Back in January, I wrote a post about Pinterest as a curation tool to organize and share visual content I’ve collected in a visually pleasing visual way. Repinly analyzes Pinterest users and content. Chris Sietsama has a great piece, Abandonment Issues: What To Do With Content Archipelagos, in which he asks you to take a bird’s eye view of your content and figure out if there is a content area that is “standing alone” and not integrated into your overall strategy. You might also want to spend some time doing a little research and browse some of the Pinterest stat sites. Here are five that I came across: Repinly: Evaluate the top Pinterst users & boards 1Repinly is a site that analyzes Pinterest users and content. Pinpuff: Measure your ‘pininfluence’ Related

Bundlr : Twitter Twitter is a popular microblogging tool designed to answer the question "What are you doing?" The service launched in 2006, and in the past year has brought about an increase in unique visitors of 19 million per month [1]. As defined by O'Reilly and Milstein, "Twitter is a messaging service that shares a lot of characteristics with communication tools you already use," and given its flexibility, "Twitter can fit with nearly anyone's workflow" [2]. Users participate by posting status updates, or "tweets." Members may also connect with each other by "retweeting" or reposting a tweet and giving credit to the original poster. Additionally, users may "follow" someone to receive updates when the person in question tweets. It was not too long before two researchers, Mason and Rennie started to discuss the implications of Twitter for educational purposes [3]. This article aims to explore the use of Twitter in an online learning environment. Review of the Literature Methods Results About the Author

2/2, The Future Of Content Curation Tools -> continued from Part I - Future of Content Curation Tools 8) Preservation Contrary to popular belief, the nature of the web is quite volatile. If you run a check for broken links on your web site you will see what I am talking about. How many times have you run through a list of tools on a blog post, only to find that a bunch of them were not available anymore? How many startups are created and how many them survive after one or two years (and with them their websites and blogs)? Even without you as a publisher doing anything wrong, the links you create, pointing to other sites, tools and information, do disappear. This is the life of content on the Internet. Unless you save it on the Internet Archive or on some similar service. But one of the official digital curator key responsibilities lays specifically in archiving and preserving anything of value that is collected, just like a museum curator does. a) fully photograph, b) archive and More will follow. 9) Private Collections 11) Monetization
