      Edelman’s Steve Rubel argues taht "in an era of self-publication (for brands as well as individuals) and increased noise we’re all faced with the problem of too much content and not enough time."

      That's why "scaling this information and providing value through quality curation" adds value.

      Explore Social Media Strategy (15 hours, 28 min ago)

      Many would argue it is difficult to quantify the return on investment from content curation, in its many forms. Here, among other themes, is one way to attempt to quantify return from one form of content curation, namely "tweeting." Note the conundrum: all content marketing activities have to relate to business objectives. But it is tough to measure the impact of this one form of content curation marketing to an identified business objective.

      Explore InfiniGraph (Mar 23 2012)

      Social media influencers acting aspublishers or content curators are exhorted to use the same fundamental tools journalists are taught when trying to determine whether something is "news worthy."

      The content chosen for curation ideally follows the “5 W rule”: Who, What, When, Where, Why. All journalists learn, early on, that any news story should answer those questions.

      Instagram, Tumblr and Pinterest are prime examples of "visual content curation." What isn't so clear is whether visual content curation works so well for business-to-business brands. You've probably run into a couple of examples of B2B efforts on Pinterest, for example. What isn't clear at the moment is whether visual content curation works better than more traditional approaches to curation, in a B2B context.

      David Carr, a prominent journalist for The New York Times, reported at SXSW this past week about a new standard for attribution aimed specifically at web content publishers, called the "curators code." Last year the "big debate" was about the difference between journalism and content marketing. This year it was more about content curation and "original" content. Both are interesting and thought provoking subjects for a conference. It isn't clear whether there are many practical implications for major brand content marketers, though.

    8. Some B2C Content Marketing Lessons Might Apply for B2B Marketers

      View all 2 articles » Explore Business 2 Community (Mar 13 2012)

      Business to business content marketers face hurdles business to consumer marketers often do not face, namely that the odds a consumer has a potential personal and emotional engagement with a product are much higher. B2B marketers often do not have an opportunity to build on such emotional connections. But even B2B marketers probably can benefit from user behavior suggesting that posts, tweets and status updates filed on weekends get significant readership, which might be contrary to conventional wisdom.

    9. Where Do You Find the "Good Stuff" to Curate?

      Explore 12most.com (Mar 10 2012)

      Curators often wonder where they can find ideas to shape their stories and coverage. There is no easy answer, though many claim to know. Why is any story you see or hear or read interesting? Answer that question and you will know "what," if not "where" to find content of high interest to a firm's potential customers. Industry trade journals and blogs always are a good place to start. But it isn't the "where," it's the "what?" and the "why?" Why will a content item be interesting and relevant?

    10. Content Curation is "for" Readers, Viewers and Listeners, Not "About You"

      Explore The Conversation Manager (Mar 8 2012)

      Talking about yourself too much generally does not create high engagement. Brands and companies also, should not be too over-promotional when doing content marketing, and curating content.

      The business purpose is to create an audience first, then prospects as a follow on. You want, as a content curator, to create the equivalent of a hit TV show, not an effective commercial, though there is a clear business reason to create effective commercials.

      But commercials only work when there is an audience first.
