iLook.TV lets you curate custom TV channels distributable via smartphone compatible apps that act as pay-TV like subscription channels. The channels are commercial and can include or accept advertising requests thus providing a monetization opportunity for channel curators. iLook.TV is made up of two components: 1) iLook.TV website where you create your channels 2) iLook.TV ChannelApp for ditributing your custom channel In a Channel you can add / syndicate video clips and submit TV commercials to the iLook.TV system. The ChannelApp is instead a mobile app that can be fully utilized by Channel subscribers as Program Guide for your channel as well as a TV remote to watch specific video content on their connected large TV screens. The ChannelApp can be branded, configured and submitted to the Apple App Store. ILOOKTV supports three methods of monetization: subscription, pay-per-view, and TV commercials. Soecifically:
. Revenues are collected by iLook.TV from subscriptions, PPV and commercials and are automatically shared with Channel owners. . The cost to own a Channel is $100 per year. N.B.: Channel owners also need to pay the standard $100 Apple Developer fee when they submit the ChannelApp to the Apple App Store. . Promising concept. Rough implementation.

Robin Good's insight:
Perma.cc is an upcoming web service that aims to help authors and journals create permanent archival copies of their online published content.
Way too often in fact, due to a multitude of reasons, not only content gets moved and relocated to new sites, becoming more difficult to find but in many others it is permanently deleted or lost.
To comfort your doubts that this is a true and tangible issue, you should check the work being carried out by Kendra Albert, Larry Lessig and Jonathan Zittrain, who are completing a study of link rot, available at http://papers.ssrn.com/abstract=2329161. ;
Link rot is the phenomenon by which material we link to on the distributed Web vanishes or changes beyond recognition over time.
Believe it or not half of the links in all of the Supreme Court opinions, don't work anymore.
In this context "the Harvard Library Innovation Lab has pioneered a project to unite libraries so that link rot can be mitigated. We are joined by about thirty law libraries around the world to start Perma.cc, which will allow those libraries on direction of authors and journal editors to store permanent caches of otherwise ephemeral links."
The Internet Archive has provided its powerful archiving engine to support this effort and Cloudfare its distributed CDN.
The official tagline of the upcoming site reads: "perma.cc helps authors and journals create permanent archived citations in their published work"
Here is essence what you should expect from it: "Perma.cc allows users to create citation links that will never break. When a user creates a Perma.cc link, Perma.cc archives a copy of the referenced content, and generates a link to an unalterable hosted instance of the site. Regardless of what may happen to the original source, if the link is later published by a journal using the Perma.cc service, the archived version will always be available through the Perma.cc link."
N.B.: While anyone will be able to go to Perma.cc and archive any web page this resource is designed for researchers, authors and journals. In this light Perma.cc downloads the material at the designated URL and provides a new URL (a “Perma.cc link”) that can then be inserted in a paper. After the paper has been submitted to a journal, the journal staff checks that the provided Perma.cc link actually represents the cited material. If it does, the staff “vests” the link and it is forever preserved. Links that are not “vested” will be preserved for two years, at which point the author will have the option to renew the link for another two years.
My comment: Can't wait to test it. We need these type of archival tools like oxygen. It's not only important that we organize and curate what is important from the web, but it is essential that we also take care in preserving it for the longest possible time.
Free and open to all (soon).

 Help:Books - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaThere are almost no limits when creating books from Wikipedia content. A good book focuses on a certain topic and covers it as well as possible. A meaningful title helps other users to have the correct expectation regarding the content of a book. Via Robin Good

I haven't read this article but I'm seriously interested in the question implied in the title.....i.e. how to 'mark up' information and get them on the web. In many cases, I think that's adequate for most people's purpose.
I have yet to find a tool that I found really comfortable for doing that. Maybe this is it.

It’s an important, and undervalued, journalistic skill
Information overload drives content consumers to look for human-filtered, journalist-vetted, intellectually-related material. This hunger for coherence isn’t unreasonable; it’s essential. And for some of us who think and write every day, gathering bits of thread that can then be elegantly knit into a thoughtful narrative isn’t cheating, or lazy. Far from it. Curating is in many ways harder than writing (at least good curating). It’s far easier for me to write 500 words from my head than to find themes and sources and tie them into a broader narrative.

Susan Myburgh's insight:
Some of you may be feeling well overwhelmed by the number of posts I have been presenting recently - and rightly so. I think this little piece is most useful, and provides excellent guidelines for those of us who wish to curate items of particular personal interest that we think are worthy of being shared. Do you agree?

THE "Self-Directed" (autodidact) is very important, learning at its own pace and by own design; curation plays a big role there and I recommend to any Learner!
Curation together with Social Media Twitter and a PLN (Personal Learning Network) are an unbeatable Trio!
