    Introduction:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    The concept of content curation is not new. Since the beginning of the Internet, everyone has done a bit of it. It is impossible not to\u00a0since once you\u00a0connect to\u00a0the Internet you are bombarded with information! The very essence of the Information Super Highway\u00a0can become a bit overwhelming to an aimless wanderer unless you use filtering or content curation techniques.<\/p>\n

    In Ch 6 of Cognitive Surplus Shirky talks about \u201ctrusted\u201d sources of information and communities. Part of this \u201ctrust\u201d is established by a successful content curation and filtering of irrelevant information.<\/p>\n

    During this Unit, you content-curate also by using social bookmarking and RSS feeds. Through social bookmarking and RSS feeds you\u00a0will find and\u00a0mark\u00a0the content you would like to receive from others and even\u00a0organize this content around a particular topic by using tagging, lists, and categories. However, that still leaves a lot of content in other places to go through, which you can explore on your own.<\/p>\n

    So, in Part\u00a0I of this Unit once you have found the content you are interested in, the next step would be to present this information to your network in a meaningful,\u00a0relevant to a specific topic\u00a0way. This is where content curation software, like Wakelet: https:\/\/wakelet.com<\/a>, which we will explore first comes handy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
