Content Curation Software

Below is an example of how you can catch your readers up on trending news with YouTube video.  The television news world is just a fragment of what it used to be in peoples’ lives.  We all miss a lot of stuff as our attention is fractured among all our incoming information streams.

A great use of curation is to help your readers focus in on a particularly interesting event to paint a picture they didn’t see when it actually happened.

Case in point:  Google’s earnings report from yesterday.

It is very safe to say that most people who would be interested in this topic and the news around it didn’t see all the reporting that was produced by it.  So a great opportunity to get readers up to date on everything the analysts said yesterday about Google’s earnings report presents itself.

10/13/2011 – CNBC Stock Market Closing Bell (Google Earnings). Google (GOOG) surges in after-hours after blow out earnings after the bell.

Now, I didn’t pick up on this news event from CurationSoft. You also have to have you ear to the ground in the social sphere to pick up on things you missed, or that your readers would have missed.

I follow the reporter above on Google+. Once she posted the video above, I got the idea for this example curation, fired up CurationSoft, and found her video plus the others below.

You can capture trends or short bursts of activity in your market, relevant to your readers’ interests, by keeping an eye out for news spikes like this. They happen in a lot of different ways and won’t be as animated as this all the time.

But think of the power of injecting not only timely information into a story, but excitement, anticipation and other emotions not usually conveyed in the average, daily blog post.

Trending, topical news video can do this for your blog. Pretty cool huh?

As “curation” picks up steam in search and on blogs across the web as a very popular topic, I thought I’d fire up CurationSoft and see what the term “curating the news” would bring up.

Below you will find the best of what I found with this amazing software.  If I can deliver you the best information on curation, it stands to reason you could be delivering the same “goods” to your readers on their favorite topics!

As you can see, there are a lot of players flocking to different kinds of curation tools, methods, and specialties.  What it all means is there is certainly convergence happening in the market.

The results above are hand-picked by me from thousands of results.  Someone else might pick a completely different set of tweets, videos, and articles to feature.  That’s the beauty of content curation.  One person can have a style and an angle readers like more than another person’s, and that’s just fine.

In the end, we’re all a part of the curation game now.  Whether you are the curator or you are the consumer, the entire web  is permeated with curation from our news sites to entertainment, gadgets, and everything in between.
