I cannot use my scoop.it because I am following you and I do not have adobe flash installed, and I do not want adobe flash installed. But the video will not let me access my scoop.it.

I wonder if libraries will start to favour a visual layout like this at some point to showcase their collections.

Love this! The automatic + member recommendations based on my book list is great when I'm floundering in my search for something new to read.

My current absorption with Pearltrees started with an exploration of Robin Good's incredible structure. To be studied, admired and shared.

Thank you Terry for reporting this: "the video is now private"
What do you make of it? Do you think it would have been better for the authors to provide a feedback or a comment to these issues rather than closing down the video for everyone? In a situation like this, what is more appropriate to do, in your view? Take down the material that may have some disputable parts, or discuss openly the issues with everyone while fully acknowledging possible overlooks and mistakes?

Robin, I actually went to Jane Hart's Social Learning Centre site (http://sociallearningcentre.co.uk/) and registered thinking that I had to be a member-still private. Then I joined the group that was based upon the webinar (http://sociallearningcentre.co.uk/groups/in-conversation-with-david-kelly-webinar/). No joy--still private. I left a comment on the video asking for help, but it has only been a short while.
I suppose what anyone makes of it depends upon how much slack is deserved. Jane Hart has been a serious asset in my search for answers to social media questions especially lately with her work at Internet Time Alliance, but... 1. Perhaps they realized that the webinar was a bit off the cuff. Half-baked might be less charitable, but I don't know because it's PRIVATE. I cannot make my own judgment and that is not good. 2. It might be painful, but sunlight is always best in public conversation. I would not take down the disputed parts but rather view them as starting points for another webinar 3. Don't you think they are missing a wonderful opportunity to drive traffic to their site? I do. It isn't too late. I would love to follow that, perhaps a Hangout on Air? I am working with a study group on P2PU that will open a discussion of curation for the National Writing Project's Digital Is network that is considering some of what you have already spoken to (https://p2pu.org/en/groups/curating-our-digital-lives/). Our goal is teacher-centered curation and I know my teaching fellows would value this conversation. Hell, we might just have it ourselves. I don't think you are wrong in your critique but without a public conversation we will never really know for certain, will we. Perhaps it would be a dialectic and a grander truth than yours or Kelly's would evolve from it.

I second them all and you have all of my support in promoting them. Thank you. |

Thank you Beth, hehe. It was meant to be "in the ocean", but then I found that great picture and decided to move onto "sand".
Thank you so much for referencing my work and for highlighting, as we all must learn to do more often, the good stuff you found in it.

I like this.
Long ago, in a former life, I used to get newspaper articles passed to me each day that were relevant to my job and/or my aspirations. I would take the necessary hour or so each day to remain current with world affairs related to what I did or where I wanted to go.
Curation is a lot like that except it is more global in concept.
This article talks about how to do this in the best way.

If you use Chrome, you can collect several open tabs at once with this extension -- great way to save your place if you have to quite while in the middle of researching something, but also a good way to package disparate sources of information together.

Since Flipboard launched on the web the audience of my Flipboard magazine ( http://flip.it/7dXbs ) has grown from 1000 people to 8000 people. So for me this was a huge shift.

Thank you Trendspotter for sharing this valuable info. Much appreciated indeed.

To be fair. First the CEO of Flipboard had added my Future magazine to his personal list of his favorite magazines. Then some weeks later the team at Flipboard added my magazine in their new overview of officially recommended Flipboard user magazines, where I'm still listed here (https://flipboard.com/magazines/#tech-science) that is when my readership grew to 8000 people. Now I've noticed that my magazine is also showing up in the recommended list of tech magazines in the Flipboard app, next to large media sites like Ars Technica or Giga OM or TNW. That is when I grew to 10.000 readers.
So my point is: Flipboard starting the web version was not the only effect why I got so many new readers there. Basically the reason was their promotion of my magazine, which started when they started their web version.

Hello there, You have done an incredible job. I will definitely digg it and personally suggest to my friends. I am sure they’ll be benefited from this web site.<a href="http://downjustforme.com/" rel="dofollow">is this site down</a>

An absolutely significant skill in any research or investigation, for educators and learners in the digital age - the curation of content- with a clear focus or question in mind, the capacity to target a search field, sift through, reflect on and make decisions about the most suitable resource or evidence to use. What a great learning experience.
