Curating online content, in it’s most basic form, is about sharing with others things that interest you. When you come across an article or post that you like you can share your finding with your community of readers on your own website or through other social media tools. I am an occasional curator, sometimes on Twitter and sometimes more extensively either here on oDharma or on my personal website.
Writing a post on curating has been on my mind for a few weeks and as I was getting around to actually doing it my RSS reader trumped me. Erin Kissane has published a wonderful post, a first in a series of five, on curating. So if you are interested in curating content I invite you to to read “Curating the Deck Chairs on the Titanic” and to stay tuned for the other posts in the series (though the second one was a bit tedious).
“Many consultants have suggested that if businesses want to succeed online, they should become content curators. So should they?
The simple answer is no. No one should reflexively pour time and money into “real-time curation,” because reflexes are a lousy way of making business decisions …
On the other hand, done well, this kind of curation can be useful to readers and can therefore be an effective marketing tool. Of course, doing it well requires a lot of time and money along with (yes) actual human skill.”
