With similarities to facebook and wikipedia, ZEEF could be a place to produce better results than algorithms.
for some experts ZEEF is to search what twitter is to news

It is also good to brand your curation. For exemple with tools like Social Dynamite. www.social-dynamite.com

A good overview of why it is good to curate content. I also think that for teachers the curation of content can be very meaninfult as they apply certain ideas and technology to their teaching. Their curation in a 'niche' can reflect their growth and development.

Beth, thanks for posting! What we have out at the moment is a pretty stripped down beta. We are adding features continuously and encourage users to get in touch to let us know what they would like to see.

Beth, when you say 'new beginners tool' what do you mean? I use diigo as it gives me so many capacities, like highlight and notes and very good ways for sharing. For good beginner tool you mean for those new to curation and/or social bookmarking?

Curation is a growing need in organizations, and as such, a growing competency for those focused on worker performance. At the same time, the vision of what this competency looks like in practice is cloudy. How will what we do look different when we add curation to our skill sets? Via Nik Peachey

Sure it is!! Last week I showed my students how to scoopit. I thought that since they seem to love Facebook, Scoopit was going to be a wow experience for them. However, contrary to my expectations most of them did not show a real interest, or at least the kind of interest I expected. What a pain! Maybe it is a matter of time, culture, love for reading and writing, etc. From a group of 12 youngers, only 2 of them said: Thanks teacher, I like it! Well... I will keep on trying...

Good article on content curation. So important nowadays ,with so much information around us, we need tools to process it (such as netvibes, diigo, delicious, feedly, etc.)

I guess you can never have enough curating, in this digital age anything that can keep you up to date and help visibility is worth a try. I like the way the simplify everything. I'm not sure but even with all this info I still may feel like I'm missing something and go to the individual sites anyway. But to see what the landscape looks like in a quick view Qwant is pretty cool.

Thank you Pawan for your kind response. Being the ebook your company has just released brand new, I found it curious to find in it examples that are "dead links" as for http://www.kevingleary.net/curated and sites that have not been updated in over a year as in www.brownbailout.com. I definitely am aware that sites on the web change with no advance notice, but for a "curated" ebook like this, two and half bad links outside of a total of 16 is not to me something to skip over.
In your place I think I would have acknowledged more openly the evident mistakes and would have worked around the clock to release a new, better and corrected version. To me, this is the essence of what a company that claims to do "top curation work" should do. What's your take?

Robin, thank you once again for pointing out the broken link.
There's only ONE broken link of which I am aware. The creation of eBook has been a four month long process and during the course of it one of the links has gone dark. The Color Association of the United States is a perfectly valid, and captivating example of picture curation, as noted in my previous comment. Lastly,the FedEx site is a perfectly valid example of curation that has served its purpose (criticizing the bailout), and is hence no longer updated -- but is still an interesting example of curation as a marketing tool. There's nothing "curious" going on here. One of the sites has gone dark, as you pointed out. We have since updated the eBook to denote that the site is no longer active. Thanks for sharing the link -- hope you and your readership enjoy it.

Thank you Pawan for your kind clarifications that allow me to better appreciate this good editorial work you have done.
I think this type of publication is right on the mark in serving the needs of your audience and my criticism was only directed at highlighting how important, for anyone involved in this field, me included, to pay great attention to details as the reader often does not have the time to appreciate what is not immediately evident. Please keep up such great work as it helps the whole industry grow while educating customers with great examples.

What is content curation?
Content curation is sorting through a large amount of web content to find the best, most meaningful bits and presenting these in an organized, valuable way.
