How to Use “Curation” to Boost Content “Creation”

From lauraleewalker.com - November 21, 2011 4:32 PM

This piece was written by Heba Hosny, a guest blogger for Lauralee Walker

This article is full of wonderful tips for taking your curation to the next level and embellish your original content.

"Content curation rewards are not limited to branding and SEO; it can also enhance the visibility and the quality of your own content."

There are many things that caught my attention, here are just a few gems:

Curated Content Can Inspire Topics For Created Content

If you don't master this one, all the other tips won't make any sense

****Understand which topics are irresistible to your target audience

My Commentary:

I love this one!

Here's the tip

****Instead of taking the easy route of sharing the topic with your audience, write a blog post to "build on" it.

You can build on a topic in different ways:

**Beg to differ politely

**Provide additional tips and insights

**Ask clarifying question(s)

My Commentary:

This is a great way to add "context" it can start conversations, which invites others to add their comments, bring new observations and more information about a particular topic.

**A perfect segue to building relationships, community, doing business and increasing knowledge.

Hi Beth,
I agree with you, I love the feeling of community and the collective wisdom, and you know "curation resonates with me":-)

This has me thinking critically about how we are integrating social media. Inviting interaction has been a huge challenge. We are stimulating new conversations in real world time, but that's not reflected in comments and so forth. I like using Scoop.It widgets to get the newest scoop onto the bog in a timely manner and take some time to reflect on post content.

From Content Curation to People Curation

From www.aggregage.com - October 20, 2011 11:50 AM

Tony Karrer wrote this post on September 7, 2011 - I find it extremely relevant and am interested in looking at the possibility of curators collaborating on content around a specific topic and how that might evolve in the future.

I had the priviledge of listening to Clay Shirky today talk about harvesting collective wisdom and the implications of that. There are no accidents as this piece seems to be exploring an aspect of this subject.

Tony is reacting to a blog post he read, Ville Kilkku titled: Klout, Triberr, paper.li, and the future of content curation. He has some very good observations, too many to list but I've highlighted a few things to set the tone for the article.

Three Major Trends in Curation

**From individual content curators to crowdsourced content curation: Individuals cannot keep up with the pace of new content, even though they have better discovery tools than before.

**Crowdsourcing can, although it is not suitable for promoting radical new ideas: the dictatorship of the masses is unavoidably conservative.

**From manual to semi-automated content curation: Individual content curators are forced to automate as much of the process as possible in order to stay relevant.

**From content curation to people curation: When there is too much content, you vet the content creators, manually or automatically. Those who pass get exposure for all of their content.

****How do these trends interact? This is particularly interesting to me and it will be fascinating to watch this evolve.

****Social networking of the content creator is vitally important in order to create an audience as isolated content becomes increasingly difficult to discover and

****curation focuses on people instead of individual content.

**Build it, and they will come, is dead.

Content Curation: Why Detecting Emerging Patterns Is Crucial?

From www.darwineco.com - November 17, 2011 3:05 AM

Romain Goday, wrote this piece for Darwin Ecosystems I've had some great discussions with Romain and he truly understands what it takes to be a relevant curator.

He lists the top reasons why content curators need to pay attention to them.

We all know the service Content Curators provide in cutting through the noise on the Web, and new tools that are coming out will enable more and more people to become curators.

This is what caught my attention:

** Successful Curators will need the tools that enable them to latch onto new trends in their area of expertise.

Those who are able to discern patterns and report on them in a timely manner will

***Link together pieces of the information puzzle so that others may see what had previously been missed

***Provide insights on the significance of events

***Demonstrate how those events evolve

***The emergence of patterns is a sign that something is happening

***The ability to understand and Curate new patterns and generate buzz around them, is what stands Expert Curators above the growing crowd

Romain's own takeaway is that Patterns should be the starting point for Curation.
