One of the most popular strategies utilized by those are new to content curation is to create "lists" of resources, articles or tools that are useful for a particular domain and tribe. In this article by Casudi Di Diego you can find four real-world examples of how crowd-curated lists can be effectively utilized to create value and as a consequence to produce more inbound links, visibility and spontaneous sharing across social media. Educational. Resourceful. 8/10 Full article: http://contentmarketinginstitute.com/2013/09/content-plan-include-numbered-lists/

How True! "Every act of journalism is an act of curation" - that is as long as what is being reported is accurate and unbiased!

Robin Good's insight:
Among the types of content curation that are broadly used, content aggregation has been one of the first and most popular approaches that has naturally sprung up.
If you are interested in learning more about these, and about how to aggregate content in the most ethical and professional fashion, I strongly suggest reading these two short articles written by two curation professionals: http://stevebuttry.wordpress.com/2012/05/16/aggregation-guidelines-link-attribute-add-value/ ; The first, by Mindy McAdams is a curated version of the second one which was published more than a year earlier by Steve Buttry. Together they do an excellent job of clarifying to the non-expert what curation and aggregation are all about.
The two articles offer clear guidelines, real-world examples and recommendations on how you can make content aggregation provide true additional value to both the content sources used and to the readers alike.
Recommended. 8/10

Thank you for sharing Robin, excellent read and your insights |
Benjamin Yoskovits, author of "Lean Analytics", shares a few great examples of how, simple, but highly focused, content curation services, can indeed provide great value, while helping build great communities.
These include:
Interesting overview and background info on each.
Definitely worth a check. Great resources. 8/10

I like this quote from the article
"Curation is about people. It’s about knowing what people want, when they want it, and how they want it. As smart as computers are (and will be), I think we all appreciate the front-and-center engagement of humans with high degrees of expertise in certain subjects, guiding the curation process."
Content curation will continue to grow and curators will get more help from computers to get the work done.
