Content Curation Next Big Thing or Temp? Content Curation Survey 2014

The results of the content curation survey 2014. Get the insights on the content curation industry. 282 people took part in this survey.

Marty Note
I contributed to Christian's survey and love seeing the results. Scoop.it is the clear "tool" favorite and it was interesting to see how other content curators treat something team Curagami (http://www.Curagami.com ) believes will be a huge help because:

Why Content Curation Rocks
* Ability to test content before risking it on model websites.
* Creates community.

* Great source of UGC (User Generated Content).
* Proves you listen at least as much as you talk.
* Increases social shares and so SEO.

* CHEAP when compared to content curation.
* Greater reach faster than content creation.

That last bullet is an idea we stumbled on. Content creation always starts from zero. YOU have to push the ball up the hill. Content curation starts further because you are using someone's content. Your share already has momentum since it has been shared before.

@Cendrine Marrouat - https://www.cendrinemedia.comjust wrote a great post for Curagami about why content curation is critical for B2C merchants: http://www.curagami.com/featured/content-curation-7-things-merchants-must-know/

Appreciate being included in Christian's survey and found results fascinating and true to my online content curation experiences.
