Thanks for the “scoop” Amy. We have a 5000+ community at http://www.boulderdigitalarts.com and are now spinning off one for entrepreneurs and social entrepreneurs engaged in making big changes called PivotGuild. Building community with all the tool choices that are available these days is a bit overwhelming and we tap as many in-depth reviews as we can - yours is very helpful. Any idea if it “plays nicely” with WordPress sites?
PS Just need to check the link to the company’s site - didn’t work for me and had to Google.
Terrific post! I think the process of content curation is important - not only just for organizations, but a great way to keep informed about your field. Scoop.it is nice because it can do keyword monitoring, help you organize your links and there is a terrific community on Scoop.It. http://www.bethkanter.org/curate-listen/
It is the best tool for ongoing curation on a topic, but I like some of the simpler curation tools for curating information from events or for workshops, particularly beginning level.
For those who don’t want to do the curation, following curators can help reduce information overload. Since I first wrote about scoop.it back over the summer, there has been a lot of nonprofit folks using it - and there are some terrific curators that gathering nonprofit oriented content http://www.bethkanter.org/scoop-it/
Thanks so much for your comment! I’d love to hear how you put Scoop.it to use if you give it a go!
To your question about Wordpress: yes, it does allow you to connect your Scoop.it account/page to your WP site so that you can push content there automatically.
