A good content curator spends more time vetting content than sharing content. This is a good checklist for vetting - nothing new - digital literacy skills.

Beth Kanter's insight:
Our research focuses on the presentation of content. ZEEF not only ranks information, but also categorizes it. We want to evaluate whether this curation process has an added value over just providing a list of results. To do this, we plan to compare Google results for certain queries with the corresponding ZEEF pages, and ask users how relevant they found the results, as well as how satisfied they were with them. In addition, we will compare the default Google list with our own ranked list in a similar way to what we did before.

Beth Kanter's insight:
THe secret to Upworthy Curation? Our top curators comb through hundreds of videos and graphics a week, looking for the 5-7 that they’re confident are super-shareable. That’s not a typo: We pay people full-time to curate 5-7 things a week. What are they doing with all that time? Partly, crafting headlines. Mostly? Finding really great stuff people will want to share with everyone they know.

As power shifts to consumers—who can program their own content using powerful technology and simple interfaces—curation moves out of the hands of professionals and into communities, platforms and algorithms. Via Guillaume Decugis

Excellent piece filled with stats and studies illustrating how content creation, distribution and curation are shifting...more consumer driven, from multiple platforms and players, and more automation. Companies will be challenged to stay on top of these trends, and continue creating high quality, consumer focused content that "surprises" its readers (vs churning out predictable content). Creativity and innovation will be even more critical as we move ahead...

Excerpt from article written by Dennis Shiao and published on Scoop.it Blog: 1. Focus on Goals What are your goals around content curation? If you can’t answer that question, stop right now. Stop reading this post, too. Go answer the question, then return when you’re done. 2. Have Empathy You’ll need to have empathy for your target audience. In other words, the better you understand their thoughts, interests and challenges, the more effective you’ll be at content curation. Via Giuseppe Mauriello

Semantic technology has been around for years and was supposed to save us from information overload. So far, it failed. The Semantic Web or Web 3.0 is still Tim Berners-Lee's dream, and good old Web 2.0 keeps drowning us in oceans of content. But while social media is certainly the cause of this deluge of information, it can also be the solution: first, as it provides us with a huge amount of data that we can use to qualify this information through big data technology; second, because it educated and created a need for millions to become human curators. By combining algorithms and humans, we reinvent media while bringing the meaning back to the Web. Via Guillaume Decugis

Content curation is not just collecting, it's also sharing. And whatever our motivation, we curate content to have an impact so understanding where our traffic comes from is important. During our first 2 years of existence, the Scoop.it users have published more than 50M pieces of content attracting more than 100M unique visitors so we've been in a great position to observe not only where this traffic came from but also what best practices had the strongest influence on it. So we’ve analyzed all the content curated, published and shared through Scoop.it. This post is about sharing these data and learnings so you can be more effective with your content curation.

We've been analyzing the data from millions of curated pieces and looked at: - Content curation traffic sources: Search vs Social - Which social networks bring the most traffic? The best traffic? - How often should you publish content? - How's content quality impacting traffic? - mobile vs desktop - Social graph vs interest graph ... and what take aways this meant for content curators. Enjoy! And tell us what you think: does it match your own experience?

Writing good headlines is an important skill for content curators. Many posts we discover have great content, but the headline doesn't quite capture it. So, this is good advice on how you can revise headlines.
