Creating unique social media content for your business, and curating relevant content for your audience, are both valid approaches to filling your content pipeline. This said, there is no single approach that will yield the best results.

A quick one about LinkedIn's "Today" section and the role it plays in content aggregation.

An "all killer and no filler" post on how to do what you're doing better. I see posts like this all the time but this one had some great content. I'm a big fan of alerts and RSS, I love Buffer, and I try very hard to avoid the obvious.

Just stumbled across this fascinating use of RSS aggregation and text-filtering algorithms to track potentially impaction human biological events. "The BioCaster system has two major components: a web/database server and a backend cluster computer equipped with a variety of text mining algorithms which continuously scan hundreds of RSS newsfeeds from local and national news providers." Very cool!

The popular curated news app, Flipboard, is going to become available on Android. I'm an, iOS user but I definitely prefer that apps are available cross-platform because it (a) makes the apps better for everyone and (b) makes sure certain companies don't sit on their laurels!

A important movement of folks looking to standardize attribution and connect the web in a more semantic and human way. Also one of the best-looking sites I've seen in a while!

They’ve created an easy-to-use automated news recommendation service called Goldfinch that picks up the best stories, videos and photos rapidly moving through your personal social networks.

An important article, in my humble opinion... Eric addresses thought leadership, taking shortcuts, and differentiation. I agree that curation does not a thought leader make. I also think, though, that there is more value to be had than just "leading the conversation."

An interesting piece on our virtual selves and how they are managed and displayed.

Great Forbes piece on where news is going, specifically surrounding personalization and smart aggregation. Smart filters! It's certainly been said before...

A short video on Elizabeth Flock and the Washington Post. Great professional piece on what happens when you're just chasing page views. For the record, this is an organizational problem, not just a rogue blogger.

Stand tall, curators! This is a familiar statement - there's too much information so we need humans to filter - but Fast Company provides some great numbers on how big the data deluge really is. "The web needs you."

Magnify calls themselves "The Video Curation, Publishing, & Monetization Platform." Another layer of monetization on top of YouTube?

Get started using Evernote for content curation. Always good to try out new tools!

Another day, another curation-based social network. In this case it's extra meta, a site that curates curated media. Very clean site, though, worth at least a look.

I liked Frank's honesty on here. Content curation is such a buzzword these days, it's getting used to mean "anytime you use someone else's content." Some great points on how to do it right.

Sums it right up: "The ability to personalize our news diets has given rise to fears that we'll end up inside echo chambers of the like-minded, gorging on brownies and ignoring the broccoli we need to function as informed citizens."
