A good, thorough article on curation. One of the key features of MyCurator is that it makes searching for and finding good content so easy. This article just popped up in my list of curation articles after being found through a Google Alert. It was easy to review the full content in a pop-up and then quickly publish it.
I like to think of content curation as utilizing existing content in a new, value-added way. It isn’t sharing entire pieces of other people’s content with your audience (that’s syndication), and it isn’t compiling lists of links with no additional commentary (this is content aggregation, and Google doesn’t like this!) Content curation is a bit of an art form, and takes some time to perfect. But once you’ve figured out a strategy that works, you’ll have a process in place for regularly finding, compiling and editorializing content your audience will love!
