CURATION
SCOOPIT
This service has become incredibly popular over the past year. At the core are topic based pages with previews of articles. Anyone can create a ‘scoop’ on any topic and start adding content. A bookmarklet lets you easily add articles directly from your browser. Topics that are particularly well-curated will attract followers who will come to rely on you to select the best content in a timely manner. Sound a bit like a newspaper or magazine? As Joyce Valenza talks about in Curation is the New Search Tool, curation services are terrific places to turn to when searching for content and an opportunity to hone their evaluation skills.
