Pugmarks is a Chrome web extension which allows you to get in-context references and complementary reading suggestions to any web page you are viewing. Pugmarks leverages your network of Twitter, LinkedIN and an optional set of RSS feeds (which you must provide in OPML format) to filter and select the most relevant reading resources that it will suggest to you. When you are on any web page you can click the Pugmarks footprint icon on the Chrome browser extension bar and a strip of relevant information is displayed over the top (or bottom) of your screen. The extension can be paused and the user has the option to select whether to see the Pugmarks bar appear on top or on the bottom of his browser screen. When you open a new empty tab Pugmarks suggests relevant content items to check out. My comment: Useful to find additional, relevant content resources just-in-time, as you browse. Free to use.

From the New York Times review by Carol Roth: "Dreve intends to help you cut through the clutter and the noise online by curating content that is relevant to you.
...
On the problem side, his premise that a majority of data and information cluttering the Internet is not relevant to anyone strikes me as legitimate.
Finding a mechanism that cuts through the clutter is a worthy goal — notwithstanding the possible push back from users who do not want to give up that control.
The solution proposed by Dreve.me, discussed in the video at a macro level, is to curate what people want to see and create connections by using your activities and preferences on one network or Web site to inform what you see on other networks."

Robin Good: Prismatic is a news discovery tool allowing you to select and specify the "interests" and topics on which you want to be kept up-to-date.
Once configured Prismatic offers a well laid out web-based magazine format in which you can pick and look at any of your preferred news topics.
Prismatic automatically provides detailed information about each news story it will present you, including the number of times it has already been shared and the relevant tags associated to it.
Initially Prismatic connects to your main social networks (FB and Twitter) to learn about your interests and then gradually learns with your help what kind of content you are most interested in.
Prismatic has two ways to discover new interests: search and links to related feeds. Search can find topic and publisher feeds or you can create a new feed from a query. Each story has links to related feeds, which you can follow to explore new interests.

Hello Otir, yes I have.
Nothing to do with Scoop.it. This is good either to create a page where to see all of your preferred RSS feeds in a visual fashion, or to create out of your feeds a visual page that displays them all.

Thanks for your reply, Robin! I will look into it more in depth then! Seems really interesting... (so many new tools, so little time, though :-)

Eerder schreef ik een artikeltje over alternatieven voor Google Reader (http://www.beeldbedrijf.nl/2013/google-nieuws/) maar OneFeed is dus ook een mogelijkheid als je Chrome als browser gebruikt.

No way. Mention is a great tool, and even better in some aspects, but it stops at 500 mentions of whatever you put it to search unless you pony up 19.99$/month.

Anthony Kosner on Content.ly analyzes three different news discovery services in order to illustrate the different types of approaches available today to gather and filter streams for a specific audience. He takes as examples Fuego, Upworthy and Prismatic, which utilize three very different solutions to aggregating and filtering the news in order to provide a relevant stream to their readers.
Overall, the article tries to illustrate how different can be the approaches utilized to filter and suggest content to a specific audience. Interesting. Informative. 6/10 Full article: http://contently.com/blog/2013/04/29/the-evolution-of-curation-puts-tools-in-marketers-hands/

Robin Good: Here is a good and well written overview of some of the best news discovery tools out there.
These services, generally avaliable as mobile apps and/or desktop tools, aggregate a large number of relevant news sources in different categories of interest, and leverage in many cases your Facebook and Twitter network of contacts to suggest the type of stories you may be interested in the most.

Just signed up for the beta invite, looks interesting, hope it don't take 2 months to get it (LOL). Let us know what you think.

Looks like a nice idea ... However, signing up for the beta with an email address is fine. Then they want you to spam your contacts before you even get a chance to see how it works.
Then an email follow up which states the following "The more of your friends sign up, the higher you jump in the waiting list queue" #fail ... but thanks for sharing

Digitalassetman I fully share your frustration. :-) Ridicolous ways of marketing a service.

Excerpted from the original article: "So what is the secret sauce that makes people like Guy Kawasaki, Robert Scoble, or Mari Smith popular while most everyone else remains hidden?
In a word: Sources
In order to do this yourself, remember that you have to go beyond sharing the articles that land in your favorite RSS feeds, or just reposting something from your social media timeline (which honestly has probably been reposted a thousand times before).
To make your social curation easier, and more effective, here are a few things you might want to do:
a) Do a competitor check. It’s important to know what’s already out there
b) What do your competitors post? How or when do they post? What are their usual sources?
c) Study your competitor’s social media behavior meticulously. It’ll take time, yes, but once you’ve established where you stand, you can start looking for the best places to gather curated information without fear of repeating what others have already shared.
d) See what’s out there. Now that you know how your competitors work, you can begin creating your curation strategy, collecting the tools you need and compiling sources you can use to collate content. How many blog posts, videos and news articles are posted about your chosen topic everyday? Does your field have enough sources to sustain you, as far as your plan goes?
e) Is this what your audience really wants? This truly is the most important question you need to answer. You need to see what your audiences actually post online.
f) Create a market study on their digital behavior. You can check for yourself how audiences react towards your competitor’s social media efforts or use social media monitoring software to help you out."

Curating great content is not about passing around what everyone else is, it's about finding sources of great content and sharing that content with your audience. It takes work to find this content and to cultivate the right sources of information. You must understsnd what your audience is hungry for so you can provide content that will get results. |
