Robin Goods insight:
Verification Junkie is an excellent free online resource curating the most relevant tools for fact-checking and verification of online content. "A growing directory of tools for verifying, fact checking and assessing the validity of social media and user generated content." For each tool collected, Josh Stearns has provided a detailed description, and relevant links. My comment: Verification Junkie is a great resource I would recommend to anyone writing or publishing online as well as a great example of an effective curated tools collection. Excellent resource. A must go to for online journalists. 8/10 Link: http://verificationjunkie.com/ See also: http://verificationjunkie.com/about |

Robin Goods insight:
Thanks to Alan Berkson intelligent use of hashtags as he retweeted his own post dating back to December 2012, and to Trendspottr, who made it easy for me to discover it, I have just run into one of the most inspirational short posts about curation that I have read in some time. The post is quite short, but it packs such an important truth, that I can't but bring it to you in its full integrity. "Being able to properly vet might be the most important skill of the 21st Century. Not curing sick animals. Not retiring from military service. I’m talking about “subjecting to thorough examination or evaluation.” We’ve been trained to rely on experts to do this for us.
This is a double-edged sword. As individuals we can develop and express thought leadership. However, also as individuals, we can no longer solely rely on third parties for pre-vetting our experts.
Content curation, if intended as the art of helping other people discover, learn and make sense of things they are interested into, is all about cultivating your own ability to become an expert by honing the skills of research, vetting and contextualization. This is it. Must read. Must share. 10/10 Original post by Alan Berkson: http://blog.intelligistgroup.com/that-third-kind-of-vet/
