Curated content -posts which collect and share content from a range of different sources- has long been one of the most underrated elements of the content marketing mix. Curated posts can attract a lot of user engagement, and are used by a wide range of media outlets to present social media posts, articles, or other content which relate to a specific topic in a single concise, digestible format. Not only that, but they can be put together easily and quickly, shared across a wide range of platforms, and be optimized to maximise their SEO value.

Capturing those golden nuggets of information: the art of digital curation

Capturing those golden nuggets of information: the art of digital curation | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
I always used to save items of interest that I happened upon online as favourites. However despite creating folders, in using this system I found retrieving something became harder and harder and I was not always able to find what I was looking for. Add the fact that I tend to use commuting time to and from work to access information via my phone, I was initially sending items by email, to then have to add them as favourites once I got back to my desk top.

Pearltrees is a visual bookmarking tool that I first tried nearly five years ago. Over the years it has changed in response to feedback from its users. One of those changes was a transition from free-form webs of related files and links to its current format of visual squares and folders.

In addition to building a Personal Learning Network of online mentors and experts they can use to supplement their Google searches, her students are required to “curate” the information they gather for projects the same way a museum curator would curate an art exhibit. In the age of information overload, we have an undeniable need to amp up our content curation skills.
