Silk is a web tool to publish online spreadsheet-based data on a specific topic.
The service, which just released a new version of its offering, allows to easily convert any existing data-set into professional-looking data displays, charts, grids, and lists that can be embedded on any site and which can be viewed in multiple ways.
The value of Silk is specifically in making it easy and immediate for anyone to elegantly display and publish data sets in one of several alternative formats which include:
Table
List
Grid
Mosaic
Groups
Bars
Map
Donut
Line
Pie
Scatter
Stacks
How it works: Import a table from Excel, Google Sheets or any .csv file, select the fields you want to import and Silk does the rest offering you tools to filter, edit and select your preferred visualization approach.
You can also create data sets and displays from scratch inside Silk, and set each Silk either as public or private.
Why it is relevant for content curators: Silk provides a unique and powerful opportunity to leverage existing data and information assets, spreadsheets and databases and to convert them into highly legible and visually impactful data displays on a very specific topic.
My evaluation: Paired with the power of Kimonolabs or Import.io to convert any website or page content into a spreadsheet, it offers great potential in creating value by providing multiple professional formats to display, present and interact with such data. Great tool for curating data-based information assets.
Free forever for public Silks of up to 3000 pages.

Collect the things you love, with Ember. Whether you’re capturing photos, screenshots or any other kind of image - save, annotate and sync it with Ember.
Ember is a Mac and iOS app that allows you to easily capture parts of a screen, a specific image, a whole window or a full web page easily and to edit it, collect it and organize it according to tags, themes/groups and colours.
Ember key strengths are:
a) the image "capture" toolset, which is second to none. It offers maximum flexibility, it is simple, and allows you to save directly to any folder/group/collection you have set-up.
b) the image editor utility that integrates a set of useful tools that includes cropper, focus/blur areas, rotate, add text, freehand drawing.
c) the elegantly designed "library" where you can organize your images and screenshots easily via drag and drop into collections. Each image can also have a description and multiple tags. In addition Ember can automatically sort all your images by colors.
d) the "subscription" area where you subscribe to image feeds from various sites and galleries to get inspiration and ideas.
iCloud-syncable.
Ember is a beautifully designed app that does a fantastic job of capturing any kind of image or screenshot from the web and to give you relevant tools to edit it and "curate" it into private collections.
N.B.: Though Ember is really a great app to use, I would not pay its relatively hefty price tag, unless it allowed me to publish or export (in a publishable format) some of my collections.
Fliplingo allows you to communicate on Twitter in multiple languages. Choose the languages and the translation quality you need, and enjoy tweeting with the World.
The Worst Idea Ever in my opinion, communicating with native speakers is not about translating (oftenly wrong) it is about understanding the "untold" about using colloquialisms about reading between the lines and understanding the culture.
Remember only 20% of our communication is done verbally, 80% is non-verbal or indirect.
You can create videos with your presentations: just add your explanations and/or notes to your slides, generate the video-then share via gmail, drive, dropbox, box, or via your chromebook, or use their iOS or Android app, or share via their Google Chrome app.

I'm going to have to investigate this further to see how practical it REALLY is. It seems like every week there's something else like this that comes out.
One thing that occurs to me thought: I wonder if it would be possible to use this or tools like it, to create sellable content...some new type of curated content ebook?
Perma.cc is an upcoming web service that aims to help authors and journals create permanent archival copies of their online published content.
Way too often in fact, due to a multitude of reasons, not only content gets moved and relocated to new sites, becoming more difficult to find but in many others it is permanently deleted or lost.
To comfort your doubts that this is a true and tangible issue, you should check the work being carried out by Kendra Albert, Larry Lessig and Jonathan Zittrain, who are completing a study of link rot, available at http://papers.ssrn.com/abstract=2329161.
Link rot is the phenomenon by which material we link to on the distributed Web vanishes or changes beyond recognition over time.
Believe it or not half of the links in all of the Supreme Court opinions, don't work anymore.
In this context "the Harvard Library Innovation Lab has pioneered a project to unite libraries so that link rot can be mitigated. We are joined by about thirty law libraries around the world to start Perma.cc, which will allow those libraries on direction of authors and journal editors to store permanent caches of otherwise ephemeral links."
The Internet Archive has provided its powerful archiving engine to support this effort and Cloudfare its distributed CDN.
The official tagline of the upcoming site reads: "perma.cc helps authors and journals create permanent archived citations in their published work"
Here is essence what you should expect from it: "Perma.cc allows users to create citation links that will never break.
When a user creates a Perma.cc link, Perma.cc archives a copy of the referenced content, and generates a link to an unalterable hosted instance of the site.
Regardless of what may happen to the original source, if the link is later published by a journal using the Perma.cc service, the archived version will always be available through the Perma.cc link."
N.B.: While anyone will be able to go to Perma.cc and archive any web page this resource is designed for researchers, authors and journals. In this light Perma.cc downloads the material at the designated URL and provides a new URL (a “Perma.cc link”) that can then be inserted in a paper.
After the paper has been submitted to a journal, the journal staff checks that the provided Perma.cc link actually represents the cited material. If it does, the staff “vests” the link and it is forever preserved. Links that are not “vested” will be preserved for two years, at which point the author will have the option to renew the link for another two years.
My comment: Can't wait to test it. We need these type of archival tools like oxygen. It's not only important that we organize and curate what is important from the web, but it is essential that we also take care in preserving it for the longest possible time.
@Robin Good As far as the links all you have to do is bookmark it to your bookmark bar and then navigate to teh tab page and drag that link (in your bookmark bar) to the page and it adds it. Not exactly straightforward but it is simple and works.
@Tyler Wall: thank you for clarifying this to me. I was scratching my head quite a bit to find a way to do it. Got it now. ...and glad to have been of help in surfacing the importance of the social sharing aspect.

A news curation tool. A possible alternative to Scoop.it. Easier to use, but not as feature rich (e.g. lacks some of Scoop.it social sharing and publishing options)
A new curation tool, similar to Scoop.it, without the discover features. Simple and promising for creating on-the-fly boards and organizing topical content. via @robingood
EyeQuant instantly predicts how users look at your websites using technology developed by the world's top attention scientists at Caltech. No code required.
Eyequant is a new web app which allows you to test and analyze instantly and web page design, landing or product page and to visualize for you the areas on the page that readers will pay most attention to.
The app does not require you to install any code or plugin on your site as it leverages scientific research data to evaluate, analyze and predict reader's behavior on any page without needing to use live traffic data.
Once you have submitted a web page by uploading it or by submitting its URL, Eyequant will be able to provide three different visual maps (attention map, hot spots, perception map) of your page showcasing the specific areas where reader's eyes will be drawn.
All visual maps produced by Eyequant can be easily exported to PDF, PPT and ZIP files.
My comment: Excellent resource to gain valuabe insight into how to improve and optimize any web page. Definitely worth trying.
iLook.TV lets you curate custom TV channels distributable via smartphone compatible apps that act as pay-TV like subscription channels.
The channels are commercial and can include or accept advertising requests thus providing a monetization opportunity for channel curators.
iLook.TV is made up of two components:
1) iLook.TV website where you create your channels
2) iLook.TV ChannelApp for ditributing your custom channel
In a Channel you can add / syndicate video clips and submit TV commercials to the iLook.TV system.
The ChannelApp is instead a mobile app that can be fully utilized by Channel subscribers as Program Guide for your channel as well as a TV remote to watch specific video content on their connected large TV screens. The ChannelApp can be branded, configured and submitted to the Apple App Store.
ILOOKTV supports three methods of monetization: subscription, pay-per-view, and TV commercials.
Soecifically:
• A Channel subscription must be purchased by a TV viewer to playvideos that are marked premium.
• Pay-per-view (PPV) videos are marked with “Buy” (forever) or “Rent” (for 24-hours) and require a payment from a TV viewer.
• TV commercials are submitted to the ILOOKTV system by advertisers and are automatically played on Channels that request them. Advertisers are automatically charged for each insertion via instant auctions.
.
Revenues are collected by iLook.TV from subscriptions, PPV and commercials and are automatically shared with Channel owners.
.
The cost to own a Channel is $100 per year.
N.B.: Channel owners also need to pay the standard $100 Apple Developer fee when they submit the ChannelApp to the Apple App Store.
.
Promising concept. Rough implementation. A glimpse at what the future of video curated content may look like in the near future.
Bij de behandeling van diabetes mellitus type 2 komt bloedglucoseverlagende medicatie in aanmerking, indien geen goede bloedglucoseregulatie wordt bereikt met het aanpassen van de leefstijl. Voor patiënten zonder zeer hoog risico op hart- en vaatziekten is metformine eerste keus bij de medicamenteuze behandeling. Bij onvoldoende resultaat kan een kortwerkend sulfonylureumderivaat (voorkeur gliclazide) worden toegevoegd. De volgende stap conform de NHG-Standaard is (toevoeging van) insulinetherapie, of als alternatief een DPP4-remmer of GLP1-agonist. Bij patiënten met een zeer hoog risico op hart- en vaatziekten, blijkend uit een voorgeschiedenis van hart- of vaatziekte, chronische nierschade en/of systolisch hartfalen, is een SGLT2-remmer eerste keus (alternatief GLP1-agonist). Voeg bij onvoldoende effect eerst metformine toe en vervolgens een GLP1-agonist.
Siz.io is a free web app which allows you to collect your favorite video clips into thematic "shortlists".
Shortlists are organized into main categories ranging from News, to Animals, Games, Funny, Cinema, TV and more.
You can add video clips from YouTube, Vimeo, DailyMotion, Instagram, Vines and more by simply copying and pasting their URLs.
My comment: Good resource to find shortlists of curious, funny and entertaining videos. Easy-to-use. Feature request: play all clips in a shortlist as a back-to-back sequence.

Lucidpress is a web app which allows you to design, layout, format and publish most any type of document or publication without needing to buy an expensive software program.
The key advantage of Lucidpress is that it offers one editing environment to prepare both print and digital publications for the web or mobile devices.
Final work can be exported to high quality PDF files, or to JPG, PNG or PDF files for individual pages.
Lucidpress integrates with Google Drive and it allows to easily import texts, images as well as video clips from YouTube.
My comment: There is certainly a need for an easy-to-use web-based design environment for pubs of all kinds which Lucidpress attempts to intercepts. The design app is quite powerful and well designed but unless you are a designer you are going to be disappointed with the results. Available templates are few and very old-fashioned. This is probably the area where Lucidpress has the maximum opportunity for improvement. Integrating quality design into the service and non-design customers will do the rest.
When you Mummify a webpage—a news article, blog post, photo or tweet, for example— we make a permanent copy and back it up in the cloud. We then give you a new URL that looks like this: http://mummify.it/2452862
Mummify is free up to 100 mummies a month. If you need to Mummify more than 100 pages in a given month you can purchase 50 more for $5.
This is not a "free" business model generator, it is a software program built on the "free information" business model.
I looked through this and there is some solid information even if you don't purchase this software. The 78 page info graphic style explanation does an excellent job of talking about offering "free" and monetizing a portion of your information.
Play around with it and let me know what you think.
As someone that does a lot of business planning this tool looks very interesting. It's simple design output also makes me wonder whether this could be adapted in the market research market, a one page insight delivery might inspire more detailed and focussed work.
Hi, indeed this is a risk, we will offer this download this is very good feedback. But there are not many curated directories with a real business model. Because we are going to use the links blocks on external websites (blogs) like widgets and fill them with affiliate links we give people the opportunity to make money. Most curation websites don't have any way of monetizing their traffic. Our business model is based on a dutch competitor how does 20 million of revenue only in the dutch (Netherlands) market. So if people use your subject page to make their purchasing decision you have helped them and earn some money to keep the platform alive.
Zeef è una applicazione web che genera categorie e sarebbe piaciuta molto ad Aristotele e a Kant.
Il suo utilizzo è semplicissimo, basta indicare il nome della nostra collezione di Link, dedicata a uno specifico tema, e quindi procedere a creare, all'interno di quel tema e argomento delle categorie, che sono rese graficamente come blocchi di liste di indirizzi. Aggiungere ai blocchi nuovi indirizzi è altrettanto semplice, basta copiare e incollare l'URL del sito o della risorsa che ci interessa.
I blocchi possono essere collocati nell'ordine che preferiamo semplicemente trascinandoli con il mouse nella posizione che più ci piace ed è sempre possibile aggiungere nuovi blocchi.
Le liste di Link possono essere condivise e incorporate in altri siti. L'utilizo di questo servizio web è gratuito previa registrazione.
Si tratta di unos trumento utilissimo per organizzare i propri indirizzi in relazione a un tema/argomento specifico in modo da disporre di un archivio specifico, disponibile online, cui poter sempre fare riferimento.
Le applicazioni didattiche sono numerose:
1. creare archivi ordinati di risorse web su arogmenti disciplinari o transdisciplinari
2. far realizzare tali archivi dagli studenti in modo da abituarli alla ricerca delle fonti sul web
3. realizzare raccolte di risorse per l'apprendimento di una disciplina o di argomenti di una disciplina da utilizzare in ambito blended learning o flipped learning
4. Si possono creare raccolte, stile top ten, di risorse rilevanti su un dato argomento per arricchire il processo di insegnamento/apprendimento
