Filomena Gomes's curator insight,

Robin Good's insight:
Notwithstanding the viral content-marketing tam-tam keeps selling the idea of content curation as a miracle-shortcut to work less, produce more content and get all of the benefits that an online publisher would want to have, reality has quite a different shade.
Unless your readers are not very interested themselves into the topic you cover, why would they take recomendations from someone who has not even had the time to fully go through his suggested resources?
Can that be useful beyond attracting some initial extra visibility?
How can one become a trusted information source if one does not thoroughly look and understand at what he is about to recommend?
A lot more than the one needed to create normal original content. Read, verify and vet each potential resource, by taking the time needed to do this thoroughly. Make sense of what that resource communicates or represents / offers and be able to synthesize it for non-experts who will read about it. Synthesize and highlight the value of the chosen resource within the context of your interest area. Enrich the resource with relevant references, and related links for those that will want to find out more about it. Credit and attribute sources and contributors. Preserve, classify and archive what you want to curate. Share, distribute, promote the curated work you have produced. Creating it is not enough.
These are many more steps and activities than the ones required to create an original piece of content.

truly Curation should not be merely aggregating different links without taking off time to reflect indeed it is very to end up like some one buying clothes impulsively only to realise you could have done without some of them. |
