Storify launched its public beta version in April of this year, and quickly became a popular platform for online content curation.
Storify allows users to pull information from social media - tweets, videos, photos, links - in order to build stories, and SoundCloud is a smart, seamless way to add original music to the stream.
To add SoundCloud as a source in your Storify account, just go to Settings, Sources, and then drag the SoundCloud icon onto the Source bar. As you're building your story, just search for clips on SoundCloud. Via Robin Good, Judy O'Connell, Kim Flintoff

"To help visualize the complex information flows that every knowledge worker and every organization must navigate, I often use the metaphor of a bow-tie. This helps me to understand and conceptualize Information Overload, and it may be helpful to you as well. To start, simply picture the shape of a bow-tie (yes, the fancy one that goes around the neck). Via Howard Rheingold, Kim Flintoff

"What would be great, then, is if there were a publicly browsable collection of scripts that scrape APIs and websites, scripts that could easily be updated if something about the data changes. Friends, let me commend to you ScraperWiki. ScraperWiki is a bit of a wonder, because it provides three different handy resources, any one of which would be worth some time:" Via Howard Rheingold, Kim Flintoff

"As the avalanche of information coming through social networks and real-time tools like Twitter continues to grow, the need for filters to make sense of that tsunami of data also increases, and it seems as though everyone has a different way of trying to solve that problem.
Facebook threw its hat into the ring this week with what it says is an improved “newspaper-style” news feed that highlights important content, while Digg has just launched “newsrooms” aimed at doing the same thing, and online influence-ranking service Klout is rolling out topic pages based on what’s being shared by those with influence.
But will any of these be able to solve the filtering problem, or will they just add another source of noise?" Via Robin Good, Howard Rheingold, Kim Flintoff

"Managing resources is one of the most important skills for students (people!) to master. I started blogging in 2000 and have spent a significant amount of time trying to devise an information management system that I can use to make sense of a topic or discipline. I've attached an image below that highlights the process and tools that I use." Via Howard Rheingold, Kim Flintoff

"Curating and sharing links on the web is a hot space. Delicious has relaunched, and services we’ve written about like Snip.it are trying to get you to share all of your links on its service.
Utopic goes a step further in helping you discover and share links, videos, music, and pictures that are relevant to you with its brand new gorgeous design and visual bookmarking launch.
Utopic had this to say about its new visual bookmarking feature:
With one click you can now save, tag, share and later quickly recover anything on the internet that you find interesting.
Topic-based content discovery through other people sharing your interests is still there as well, albeit with a new design and navigation." (Remarks by Robin Good) Via Robin Good, Howard Rheingold, Kim Flintoff

“A curator (from Latin: cura meaning 'care') is a manager or overseer [educator] of a collection [e-resources], traditionally a museum or gallery and is a content specialist responsible for an institution’s collections [educational resources] and involved with the interpretation [constructivist] of material.” Via EDTECH@UTRGV

Heres what got my attention:
As the digital flood sweeps into our lives every imaginable kind of information, much of it offering nothing more than a smoke screen to blur or distort our view, figuring this out is crucial.
Who or what can help us see beyond the smoke? Will software like Stats Monkey give us reason to believe that we are swimming only in facts with its mechanical certainty? And what will be the role of journalists in a media landscape in which reporters and news items are little more than commodities, and, in the case of reporters, a soon-to-be redundancy?
