Angela Dunn has written a great piece on one of my favorite topics, curation - it was the lead post on our launh of Curatti last night. What makes a good curator? "You need to have the eye of an editor, a sense of taste like a chef, and your own unique Point of View. It is this Point of View – your taste – that can lead to authority and influence". Jan Gordon:
Curators who are driven by passion and purpose will be very important to the business community in their chosen niche - it's crucial that we preserve this information for the future. That is why the future of curation is definitely evergreen. Here are some highlights that caught my attention: The amount of content is growing exponentially, but our time is limited. Curators are our filters for information overload – the editors of chaos. The slew of content curation tools that emerged gave way to algorithms. Can a machine have a Point of View? Machines can influence your Point of View. The danger is they can also create a filter bubble. It is human insight coupled with machine results that can define the very best information edited from a trusted curator’s Point of View. Evergreen posts, such as “Curating Content for Thought Leadership”,, written by Angela in 2010 are important in that they stand the test of time. All good blogs need some such articles. The above, along with all of Angela's posts on the now defunct Postereus, have evergreen links due to a new tool for archiving the web – Permamarks.

You don't need more content. You need old content. I know, that's not what you usually hear, so stick with me and we will look at some numbers to see why it is so important. Via janlgordon

Although the idea is very interesting, I don't see any valid arguments that OLD content is the key to high rankings. You even can't say there's a correlation here because 14/30 pages are less then 1 year old and 16/30 are more than 1 year old.
The method for determining OLD website is also faulty since the age of domain is not the same as the age of the content itself. So if the page has been updated within this year, it should be labeled as new. To my mind, 90% of the TOP10 search results pages have been updated during last year, so this would mean that NEW content is the key to high rankings. And since this is just a hypothesis, I must present an actual trend that has been spotted by SEO specialists recently. After latest Google Search engine updates, fresh content easily wins over old content with a lot of backlinks. If OLD content was the king, there would be NO fresh content (up to 1 month old) on first page at all.

Some things we know are better with age, like wine and wisdom, but content? Seriously? Read on to see stats showing why your old content can be a power horse for generating increased site traffic and search results.

They also use this domain and name: https://en.mention.net/

No way. Mention is a great tool, and even better in some aspects, but it stops at 500 mentions of whatever you put it to search unless you pony up 19.99$/month.

Ok, I didn't reach that limit so far. Thanks for the info, Robin.

Pugmarks is a Chrome web extension which allows you to get in-context references and complementary reading suggestions to any web page you are viewing. Pugmarks leverages your network of Twitter, LinkedIN and an optional set of RSS feeds (which you must provide in OPML format) to filter and select the most relevant reading resources that it will suggest to you. When you are on any web page you can click the Pugmarks footprint icon on the Chrome browser extension bar and a strip of relevant information is displayed over the top (or bottom) of your screen. The extension can be paused and the user has the option to select whether to see the Pugmarks bar appear on top or on the bottom of his browser screen. When you open a new empty tab Pugmarks suggests relevant content items to check out. My comment: Useful to find additional, relevant content resources just-in-time, as you browse. Free to use.
