By now you must have heard of the term ‘Content Curation’ and may be wondering what it’s all about. Well Content Curation is a process of discovering, gathering and cataloging interesting content around a topic and share for a common benefit. When you hear Content Curation, think of it as a museum with similar items displayed for people to look at.
Content Curation is all about gathering items of importance and interest and sharing them for other people to see, for example during the SOPA war a lot of people wrote so many things which most of them lacked the right information and data. Someone needed to come in and publish a clear case of what was going on to clear the air on what is right and wrong.
So if you had read some interesting articles somewhere and decided to gather them for people to read what you read so they too can have a better understanding of what was going on, you are then being a Content Curator. Today I want to show you some amazing Content Curation tools, keep in mind there are lots of different ways one could curate. You can curate out of your website and can also curate on your website as Ti Roberts well explained in this article ‘The Rebel’s Traffic Talk Episode #2 – How to Drive Traffic by Curating Content’.

Great post! I’ve known about and used Paper.li, Pinterest, Storify, and Scoop.It, but hadn’t heard of the others prior to this post. I’m going to have to give a couple of the others a try – specifically listly and bundlr. Those seem quite interesting for my purposes (personally) and maybe even for a couple of the newspapers and magazines I write for.
Am glad i could introduce you to such tools. As you can see i used List.ly in this post…and its looking great, you can embed it in a wordpress post easily.
