.You may have noticed (or maybe not, because they are so awesome to use) that we recently rolled out some big changes to the Scoop.it platform.  Firstly, don’t panic. Secondly. you\'re going to love them.
Beth Kanter's insight:

Just noticed the new interface and while changing a tool that you are very used to can be a little annoying,  I'm liking what I see.  I especially like the option to add your own insight vs lazy rescooping.  I also like that these insights appear as comments under the scoop, I think.   So, the design is encouraging deeper engagement .. let's see.

Fully agree especially on the insight..
Deborah Spector's comment December 12, 2012 10:02 AM
What a difference this makes. I always read the articles before I scoop them. Now I'll be able to add my insights, which I hope will bring more meaning to my growing community. So nice to know your discussions added this feature to the scoop.it platform.

But I can't find back the original options to browse scoopits not explicitly followed, based on topics. Where's that?

Never heard of it - must be worth sharing :)

Robin Good's insight:Introducing content curation to someone who doesn't know anything about it is not always an easy task. There are so many different articles, opinions, definitions and recommendations about content curation that it is quite difficult for someone just getting familiar with the topic, to easily find out where to start and what to trust. To help out anyone needing to support the explanation of content curation to others, here are five comprehensive resource collections I have put together over the course of the last year. 1) Content Curation - Definitions a collection of the best and most useful definitions of what content curation is http://bundlr.com/b/content-curation-definition 2) Content Curation - What is it? Video Intros 30+ short video clips that introduce the need, practice and purpose of content curation http://huzzaz.com/collection/content-curation-what-is-it 3) Content Curation Visualized 110+ infographics, visuals, illustrations and diagrams explaining what content curation is www.pinterest.com/robingood/content-curation-visualized/ 4) Content Curation Tools Directory - Tools Directory 100+ of the best content curation tools organized in a directory for immediate access http://contentcuration.zeef.com/ 5) Content Curation Tools Supermap - Tools Collection 600+ content curation, discovery, filtering and publishing tools organized by categories for doing content curation http://bit.ly/ContentCurationToolsSupermap All free to use and share.

Introduction to Curating and Why Important

Good introduction to the concept of curating content - framing listening. Use it to become informed in your field and you credit your sources - and build relationships.
