A short video illustrating different viewpoints about what curation is as illustrated by museum curators. 

Video created for the SxSW panel entitled: "Everyone's a Curator: Do Museums Still Matter?"

Interesting. Adds perspective to how academically trained professionals see curation. 7/10

La Curation expliquée par les conservateurs de Musée ! 

SCOOPS --  I began using Scoop when I was defining myself a LITE FEET DANCER.  There was no single source of info about Lite Feet dance, a NYC Born Battle dance phenom and YouTube Sensation.  I created LITE FEET SCOOP TO reference for my own resume but also to provide anyone interested a link to the multitude of YOUTUBE Channels, Sound Cloud and personal sites dedicated to this unique art form and the talented dancers who participate. 

Scoop.it helps with the process of curating content. This is a must for your social media.

Here is the idea: "The drive for offering ‘more’ is not always the best path.

It does not always create something unique. It does not always better serve a target audience. It does not always differentiate you from the competition. It does not always offer something that can’t be found elsewhere. It does not always solve a problem, or fulfill a desire."

Collecting and regurgitating all of the news that "appear" to be relevant may not be such a great idea after all.

"With unlimited server space and free distribution, the temptation can be too great to share AS MUCH content as possible, with the theory that they are better serving the many sub-niches of their market. In other words, you may often see less curation, and more collection."

I don't know if I'd be so generous to label "collection" this uncontrolled regurgitation of content with little real vetting and verification (let alone curation), but Dan Blank, has an interesting story about curation and collectors that I woud not hesitate to recommend reading.

There are some good insights in it.

One of them rings like this: "...collecting behavior is to collect AS MUCH of something as possible, and not curate or edit their collection at all." 

Indeed I see many supposed curators doing exactly this.

Because, as Dan writes correctly "...with unlimited bandwidth and free distribution channels with digital media, it can be sooooo tempting to post more and more content, aimed at more and more target markets.

Plus, the temptation to seem as large as possible, and to give Google as much content as possible to crawl for all of those searches."

But there's a lot more valuable stuff and insight to get by reading in full the original story (even if it was written in 2010).

Insightful. Truthful. 8/10

add your insight...

Good questions but I think digital curation has different dynamics and also purposes. What do you think?

with the increase in mash-up content, the issues of IP such as this would need our attention and commonsense.

Features, best practices, copyright, use and examples of content curation. Basically everything it is useful to know about content curation. Plenty of useful information.

I am very aware of the fact that I am using a digital curation site to highlight external resources about images and Copyright and therefore it seems sensible to highlight some of the pitfalls of this approach.  I note that the Scoop.it example does not come out of this too well!

This article details that there are so many aspects of content curation to consider and tools that can make each of these more managable and the process more efficient. 

vale la pena el esfuerzo.

Da http://www.journalism.co.uk 9 strumenti web based per lo storytelling. Si tratta di strumenti che consentono di realizzare storie visuali con elementi multimediali e interattivi.

Utili per la content curation e per realizzare presentazioni.

Possono essere utilizzati senza problemi nelal didattica per realizzare raccolte e/o narrazioni di eventi e/o problemi di carattere disciplinare e interdisciplinare.

Add this to advances in context and authorship and the fun has already started. 

Zoekmachines - en Google - voorop gaan de context van zoektermen steeds beter begrijpen, zodat gebruikers betere en op hun situatie (plek, voorkeuren) toegespitste resultaten krijgen. Omdat het daarbij om de zogeheten 'big data' draait, is onder meer het gebruik van Google+ belangrijk voor Google. 

Kort gezegd gaat het betekenen dat zoekwoord 'pizza' niet leidt naar allerhande recepten websites, maar naar de Italiaan om de hoek.

This is an excellent Curation review.
