Gust MEES's insight:
Scoop.it!
I have rehearsed this scenario before, but try to imagine we live in a world where printed media had not been invented, and our only source of information and entertainment was the Internet.
And then someone came up with a really smart idea, and gathered together a group of really clever people, got them to sift through the mass of information that's freely available in digital form, decide what's important and what's not, what you can trust and what you can't, and put it all together in a thing called a newspaper, which can be delivered to your very home.
It's portable, it's not dependent on a wireless connection and, for many, there is also an intrinsic pleasure in turning over the pages. I posit this idea not to promote the virtue of newspapers, but to illustrate my growing feeling that one of the most prized - and undervalued - commodities in the modern world is curation.

Twitter is a powerful educational social networking website that has a huge potential for teachers professional development.
Twitter is also ideal as a PLN where you get to connect with other educators from all around the globe and exchange teaching and learning materials with them. Building a PLN, however, requires making acquaintances with similar like-minded teachers and also developing your list of followers; but once you have such a solid PLN problems of maintaining it and staying updated with what others tweet become a tricky challenge.
I have curated for you some powerful tools to help you benefit the maximum from the PLN you create on Twitter. Check them out below.

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!

Once clipped any content can be easily tagged and shared on your preferred social networks.

As a Pew study highlights a growing trend of readers who gather news through curation, brands are also finding that links to content help build a customer base.
"What that does is it turns your organization into the trusted guide for this stuff," Holtz says. "

Buzz used to be an intangible — something you just felt. No longer.
"Buzz volume" is one of the metrics offered by a new generation of social-media-based tools that are transforming the way corporations gather intelligence about customers and competitors. "Consumer sentiment" is another: You can now get a reading on how customers are feeling about your products or services, your customer service, or your prices.
Scoop.it!
Curation is a term that is rapidly growing in popularity and is directly impacting the world of workplace learning and performance. In a world where the amount of information available to workers doubles every 18 to 24 months, it is impossible to keep up with the seemingly endless supply of it.

Robin Good: Expressedly designed for journalists and newsrooms Spundge is a unique social news discovery, curation and syndication platform that facilitates the discovery, selection and distribution of news content across multiple channels.
Spundge works with topic-specific containers called "notebooks", which you can create and configure to work around any specific topic, event, company or issue you are interested in following.
Spundge taps into YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, Flickr, Soundcloud and Facebook to gather relevant content around your specified topics, as well as into RSS feeds and OPML files that you specify. All these can then be easily filtered (by keyword, time, location, and language) and curated manually before being published inside any topic-specific "notebook".
Notebooks can be made public or private and their contents can be shared on all major social media networks as well as being syndicated outside of Splundge in a number of different ways.
The PRO version of Spundge adds a number of useful features to the free base version, including:
Custom editor - create, write, format and edit your own multimedia posts integrating text, images and video clips with extreme ease.
Personal customized dashboards - these allow you to collect and organize in one page streams from different notebooks, traffic and social sharing data and more.
Syndication - syndicate to major socia platforms such as Twitter and Facebook as well as to Wordpress and Mialchimp.
Collaboration - invite co-editors, curators, newsmasters to complement your work or to fuel a common newsroom activity allowing everyone to track, review, comment and edit individual notebooks.
Embedding - standard embed code to publish/integrate any notebook inside any website or blog page.
Analytics - Acces to detailed traffic data.
Smart attribution - Spundge automatically tracks original sources from where you are picking content, images or video clips and automatically credits them.
Custom sources - plug-in private RSS feeds or your own API to feed unique proprietary content into your notebooks.
Free version available.

"Yesterday, 250 million photos were uploaded to Facebook, 864,000 hours of video were uploaded to YouTube, and 294 billion emails were sent. No wonder content curation is one of the most important jobs of our digital age. (...) Which means it's time to enlist the web's secret power: humans."
I just love the way Steve Rosenbaum talks about curators, don't you?
He coined the term when we interviewed him at SxSWi and Steve definitely knows what he's talking about, being the author of Curation Nation.
He gives interesting guidelines to all would-be curators in this post: even if you're already one, you might find them useful. And if you're not a curator yet: "All you need is a web browser and a cape. The rest is up to you."
