Content Curation Tools

One of our most popular posts is 30+ Cool Content Curation Tools, which is a great list of over 30 different tools that will help your discover, share and curate content for your blog, website or social media presence. Our readers have left a lot of great suggestions in the comment section for additional curation tools and resources, and it seems more new tools crop up every week.

So today we’re back with another huge list of content curation tools that includes some old favorites (like Google Reader, that we somehow overlooked on our original list…shame on us!), new players that have surged in popularity since the last time we published a list like this (hello, Pinterest!) as well as some up and coming curation sites and platforms.

  2. Thanks for the notice about the Darwin Awareness Engine!

  4. Content curation is a valuable part of the marketing mix, especially on brand blogs. My business partner and I have been thinking about this for a while, in hopes of avoiding the trap of putting content curation in a silo, similar to what many marketers are doing with social media.

    The reality is that there are only three types of content: created, contributed, and curated. CREATED content is rich in originality and insights, but is also very time consuming to create. Similarly, CONTRIBUTED content, written or originated by guest writers/bloggers for your brand, is great for adding to your thought leadership and collaboration in your industry, but it is time consuming to both create and manage.
    CURATED content, however, has the potential to provide quality and quantity, since we are adding our insight to existing content. Curation also gives our implicit stamp of importance, merely because we choose to share it out rather than delete/discard it.

  5. Thanks Therese for this — I was not aware of the breadth and depth of this new trend or so it was both an introduction and a detailed overview. Very helpful in my field.
