Content Curation: Copyright, Ethics & Fair Use >>Click here to download the eBook. The most common and fundamental questions that come up whenever I talk about content curation (especially in the context of content marketing) is, “How can you use other people’s content? How does that work with copyright, fair use, and more generally ethics?” This is a topic that I have covered before in earlier blog posts, but since it’s central to curation, it is worth revisiting once again.

What Makes a Good Content Curator? Part of being a Social Media Manager is culling the infinite sources of the web for the latest news, information, and resources relevant to your industry or target market. As a Social Media Manager, the content you share reflects your competence and expertise, and reflects how in-touch you are with the industry, thought leaders, influencers, and everyone in between. Sharing good content shows you understand what’s interesting and valuable to your target markets. It will help you increase your followers and establish your credibility. This process can feel never-ending and overwhelming not only because of the sheer masses of content you must wade through, but because new content is produced all of the time. So what does a good content curator look like? 1. A good content curator has reached into almost every orifice of the Internet for content. 2. It would take far too long to cull through the legions of content if one slowly perused each article. 3. 4.
La curation de contenus : vraie tendance marketing ? S’il y a bien un service dont on aura entendu parler cette année, c’est Pinterest. Même si encore beaucoup de doutes subsistent sur la viabilité à terme du service (What Pinterest needs to do to survive), et ce malgré le renfort financier du groupe japonais Rakuten en mai dernier (Rakuten investit 100 millions de dollars dans Pinterest), Pinterest aura permis de mettre en évidence une tendance forte sur Internet : la curation de contenus. Si on oublie le mot barbare pour se concentrer sur qu’il désigne, il représente le fait qu’avec la combinaison de la densité innombrable de contenus créés chaque jour sur Internet, l’avènement des médias sociaux, le partage de contenus de la part des internautes et l’influence grandissante de la “voix” du consommateur sur Internet, le besoin de laisser l’internaute filtrer les contenus et les présenter comme bon lui semble fait sens.

» La « curation », un nouveau métier du Web? Très bientôt, le contenu accessible sur Internet doublera toutes les 72 heures. Trouver une information pertinente deviendra une tâche encore plus ardue!

Source: prezi.com L’organisateur de contenu recherche l’information sur les réseaux sociaux ou dans les médias traditionnels, la sélectionne, la classe pour ensuite la partager à l’interne (site de l’entreprise, bulletin électronique) ou à l’externe (médias sociaux, blogue). Tout le monde fait de l’organisation de contenu sans le savoir, que ce soit en publiant un lien sur Facebook ou Twitter et en y intégrant un commentaire ou encore en émettant un avis sur TripAdvisor. Enfin, la raison de cette «agitation» autour de cette pratique réside dans la nouveauté des outils et des modes de visualisation. Source: Scoop.it Sources:
Social Media Curation Guide The author's posts are entirely his or her own (excluding the unlikely event of hypnosis) and may not always reflect the views of Moz. Last year on SEOmoz, I published The Content Curation Guide for SEO, which - even though it is still valid - I thought it needed a fresh addition. Not only does this post update some of the information shared, but it also digs deeper into an aspect of content curation that is actually the most used and, possibly, useful to SEOs and Content Marketers who must deal with more duties than just curation: social media curation. For that reason, I gave a Mozinar last week about this topic where I explained why it is important to include social content curation in your inbound marketing strategy; how to prepare, organize, execute, and analyze your social curation activities; and what tools to use. If you missed the opportunity to attend the live broadcast of the Mozinar, you can watch it here. Joanna Lord does great social content curation on Pinterest! Audience Q&A
