Filter Out Anything You Don't Want To See Again with Rather

Filter Out Anything You Don't Want To See Again with Rather | Content and Curation for Nonprofits | Scoop.it

"Block babies, Upworthy, twerking, annoying friends, awful coworkers, and anything else you hate with things you'd rather see, like cats."

More on filtering out the noise.

Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's curator insight, January 15, 2014 9:43 AM

"Rather looks for keywords that appear on Facebook and Twitter. This is a keyword. Well, phrase actually. The word "fuck" would be a keyword. The phrase "To hell with Republicans!" would be a key phrase. So, anyway, rather constantly scans for those, which hopefully you've specified by creating a list. Any time rather sees any of those words or phrases it kicks into action. We're not actually scanning the content of the images you see. Otherwise your CPU would get hotter than hell and the NSA would have already bought us out."

I can't wait to try this out! It would be great to be able to filter what I want to see, rather than rely on FB doing it for me & often getting it wrong!

7 Ways to Boost Your Boost Your Sense-Making Skills

Beth Kanter's insight:

This article is from 99u, a site  that is for and about being creative.   This article summarizes research on creativity and how to use it so you are more creative.    Creativity is part of a curator's thinking tools, so the advice in this article also works for improving your curation skills.


1.) Restrict yourself:   Don't use too many sources or look at too much information or for too much time.


2.)  Re-Conceptualize:    Describe an article or information resource for audience.


3.)  Separate Seeking from Sensing:   Making sense of what you find is different than the discovery part.  Don't try to do both at once


4.)  Use counterfactual thinking:   Ask what is missing or what if the advice was written in a different way.


5.)  Daydream after getting started:   Come back to a resource after you have thought about it for a while.


These points about creativity are all about mindsets.  What is your curation mindset?
