How Do You Get Most of Your News?
Curation, Defined
The act of organizing information or materials (like a museum curator…or
perhaps like a meeting planner).

Pocket – “Read It Later”
Evernote – Your “Must Have” Tool
But Why Should I Curate?
• Subject expertise
• Crafting your online presence
• Active social participation
• If you don’t do it, who will?
Curated Search…A Social Happening
• Facebook News (just released)
• Google Tools
– Basic search – different results for different
people?
– Knowledge Graph
– Search with a +
• Search + Mobile Photos = Jelly.
Twitter Tools
• Lists – Finding curation-worthy
content
• Hashtag tools
