Hats to Susan Mernit, who has an excellent piece on Knight Digital Media Center about how to do effective news curation and storytelling with Storify. She brings in lots of relevant stories and examples showcasing how other individuals and journalists have been effectively using this news curation platform. "The most successful creators of Meograph and Storify pages are united by one thing: they’re skilled editors and curators who know how to look at content posted on multiple social networks and pull out the pieces that will best help them to tell a story." “Storify is the best way to gather tweets, comments, snippets and images from all around the Web and put them into one post. It's a new way of blogging that lets all your Internet friends participate.” Brava Susan, great job and superglad to have intercepted you again. Instructive. Informative.

Content curation involves the added value only people can provide in the form of unique taste and understanding of the target audience to select and convert selected information into a quality content offering.
Robin Good's insight:
Heidi Cohen provides an excellent, illustrated and well referenced list of seven real-world examples of how one can create valuable resources by curating other people's content already available on the web. As Heidi herself wisely suggest: "If your time is limited, use researchers to do the legwork involved in collecting and vetting articles and references." and then add extra value by adding your opinion, commentary, introduction or advice. From "Round-up posts" to "Best of" lists she does a good job of summarizing, illustrating and providing good references for the key basic types of content curation approaches that have proven to produce valuable results.

Brand marketers often use bite-sized content on their social sites. But to truly engage with your audience, Contently's Joe Coleman argues that it's long-form content that will win out.
Robin Good's insight:
Joe Coleman, CEO of Contently, writes about the likely strong comeback of the longform article and essay, two eminent types of quality journalism. In his eyes, thanks to curators and better search engines, quality content will be soon able to surface more easily than it has recently been. He writes on Digiday: "We’re now at a point where curators rule the content world, by collectively deciding whether content gets amplified or lost. As a result, quality of content is again starting to win out over quantity, with an assist from smarter search algorithms and the death of content farms. As power continues to shift to the curators, great long-form content continues to increase in value, as it’s shared and consumed by more and more people. Today, one exceptional, widely shared essay is far more valuable than a thousand disparate tweets."

Gianluca Fiorelli does a good job, after his webinar last week, of reporting what are the key steps, resources and strategies to use to leverage the content curation approach for gaining visibility, followers and extra traffic across social media channels.

Robin Good's insight:
Rick Segal has a really excellent short article on "curation" published by Forbes. He writes: "...Now, marketing communications must be framed by the conversation, and not just by the marketer, but by all the parties to the conversation. This requires curation. Someone has to be the raconteur, the one who shares anecdotes in a skillful, amusing and engaging manner. Someone has to either begin or redirect a conversation; to put it on a path. The definition of that path, what we’re going to talk about, teed up in a thoughtful, strategic way, but never in a way that is didactic. Shaping and guiding conversation in a very intentional but seemingly unintentional way will be one of the requisite gifts of the great brand curators." Right on the mark. Well written.

Someone has to be the raconteur, the one who shares anecdotes in a skillful, amusing and engaging manner. Someone has to either begin or redirect a conversation; to put it on a path.

Shaping and guiding conversation in a very intentional but seemingly unintentional way will be one of the requisite gifts of the great brand curators. The other role the curator plays is that of succeeding at rallying other good raconteurs to the conversation stream. It’s not quite the heavy-handed role that a museum curator plays in deciding what gets into the exhibit, or not, but similar. The social media stream curator spots participants and content that ought to be served to the conversation and encourages it into the stream. Like the museum curator, the brand curator says to the interlocutors, “Here’s what we’re talking about. Let me highlight this good observation or example. What do you have to share?” Delete the scoop?

ClipGrab is a great free app for Mac that allows you to easily download any video clip in full resolution from YouTube, Vimeo, Dailymotion and several other video sharing sites. Particularly useful for video curators, journalists and reporters, ClipGrab makes very easy to grab and download at the best possible quality almost any video found online, while simplifying the process and time it takes to do it. I have tried and tested it and I must say that it works flawlessly. You provide the URL of the video, select the video format (.MP4, .WMV, Ogg Theora or .MP3/Ogg) and the quality level (from 240P to 720P) you want and then ClipGrab does the rest by saving the final, converted file on your selected folder. ClipGrab can also search and find instantly video clips on any topic you want, saving you the time that it would take to open another browser window, search for it and grab its URL. Available in multiple languages. Excellent. Recommended. P.S.: Please support this free tool and the good work of its creator with your small optional donation.

ScoopWeb is a real-time news and content finding engine, capable of tapping hundreds of reputable news sources as well as Twitter and the full web to report a shortlist of relevant content items to check. I'd define ScoopWeb a curated search engine, and a good early example of what newer search engines, after Google, are going to look like. ScoopWeb can be in fact queried on any topic, and it instantly provides a short selection of news stories, Twitter mentions, relevant images and video clips as well as the top 10 web sites on the topic and a shortlist of available PDFs and white papers on the topic. I personally find it an excellent content finding tool. Easy, fast and uncluttered. Much better than Google for finding good content. Recommended. From the official site: "ScoopWeb gathers news and stories from more than 500 sources including the BBC, CNN, Reuters, Bloomberg, as well as more regional and localized sources such as Detroit News, LA Times and others.

Scoop.it!
Robin Good's insight:
1) It creates a "cleaned-up" stream of information coming from Facebook and Twitter by eliminating all kinds of noisy "status updates" 2) It archives, indexes and makes seachable each and every link you have ever liked, tweeted or Gmailed, including the ability to find such links by searching through the actual content behind those links.

Some useful examples and goo tips to putting Storify to work...
Hats to Susan Mernit, who has an excellent piece on Knight Digital Media Center about how to do effective news curation and storytelling with Storify.
She brings in lots of relevant stories and examples showcasing how other individuals and journalists have been effectively using this news curation platform.
"The most successful creators of Meograph and Storify pages are united by one thing: they’re skilled editors and curators who know how to look at content posted on multiple social networks and pull out the pieces that will best help them to tell a story."
“Storify is the best way to gather tweets, comments, snippets and images from all around the Web and put them into one post. It's a new way of blogging that lets all your Internet friends participate.”
Brava Susan, great job and superglad to have intercepted you again.
Instructive. Informative. Resourceful. 8/10
