Twitter to Release Curation Feature Today that allows more newsmastering of tweets
Explore ReadWriteWeb (May 3 2010)
This is a little reminiscent of European blogger Robin Good's argument a few years ago that a concept called Newsmastering was going to become the chic occupation at any firm with business touched by the online river of news. For some reason that hasn't happened yet. It seems that online curation, editorial selection of items flowing through dynamic collections of online sources, has proven too removed from direct, immediate and crude value to have caught on with more than a handful of companies, most of which were already in the publishing business.

HuffPo at 5: attracting millions of readers and cash | Media News

Nevertheless, while HuffPo has made advances in original reporting, it still relies largely on commentary and aggregation for attention. “We’ll always curate news in addition to having our own original content because that’s the way the Internet works,” Lerer says. “That’s the model. If you don’t link and if you don’t get linked to, then I think it’s an impossible model.” Though some sites are adopting or considering pay walls (the Times says it will begin metering traffic next year), the Huffington Post has thoroughly embraced web culture.

Additionally, as niche markets demand that their publishers deliver increasing relevant industry content, B2B marketers that curate will be able to easily satisfy this demand. Thus, B2B marketers may be a new and compelling competitor to traditional publishers that previously controlled the flow of information. As traditional publishers seek new platforms for advertising and subscriptions, such as the iPad, their focus on niche markets will continue to decrease and move elsewhere. (Read Full Article)

Book Review Part V: Content Strategy for the Web–Curation vs Creation by #writingfordigital

Content curators are like wiki editors who build relevant pages using recognized subject matter experts from all over the blogosphere as their sources. Done well, these pages can be highly relevant experiences, as we see from Wikipedia. Wikipedia owns top position on Google for millions of keywords for a reason. That reason is relevance. I’m not saying all pages should look and feel like Wikipedia. But the basic content strategy for aggregation should follow the Wikipedia model. What does this mean for content curators?
