Two Very Different Ways of Curating The News: Techmeme vs. Daring Fireball | Latest Social Media News | Scoop.it

Robin Good: Valuable analysis of two very different approaches to news curation on the Intigi blog.

 

Justin Lambert writes: "The argument for content curation is no longer an argument.

 

Curation is the only means by which anyone can really make sense of the flood.


But there are a lot of different forms of large-scale curation, from the purely automated aggregation of RSS feeds to hand-selected, best-of-the-best link lists.

 

Not to mention the smaller-scale curation going on all over the social web by individuals sharing interesting and valuable links with their personal and professional communities."

 

In this first installment of a six-part series on curation, Mr Lambert explores and analyzes the differences between Techmeme, a curated tech news aggregator and Daring Fireball a one-man-band writer wittfully curating a unique variety of Apple related bits.

 

Good analysis. 7/10
