Morten Myrstad — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 03:49:32 GMT

Scoop.it went live this week. We covered the news and gave the news some context using both Scoop.it and Storify. Curating articles, quotes, tweets, photos and videos.

Curation tool Scoop.it came out of beta this week. CEO Guillaume Decugis emailing about the launch: "We're coming out of private beta with solid numbers on stickiness, visits and growth". So what was more natural than to curate the news? Using both Scoop.it and Storify?

If you prefer a direct link to the new cartoon video from Scoop.it, here it is! CEO Guillaume Decugis (gdecugis) commented, emailing his curation friends: "Curation is lowering the barrier to expression on the Web: Scoop.it will now enable everyone to be a publisher and be heard on the Web (as we had fun summarizing in our launch video)."

But there were also some hard facts behind the news. The curation platform is right now in a big growth modus, 35% month over month.

Friday Night With a Beer and Storify - Kicking Ass

Morten Myrstad — Sat, 29 Oct 2011 09:28:38 GMT

Storify is kicking ass as a storytelling curation tool, with new source, grabbing and editing features! I figured that Storify, a story and a beer could be a nice way to spend a couple of hours Friday night. Storify have some great features, with some bugs though. Follow the curation test and enjoy!

Imported an earlier story from Storify, inside Storify. It even could have been someone else's story. A really nice new feature!

I also gabbed a video from YouTube using the bookmarklet (neat), mainly because the YouTube search function in Storify was not that accurate (a YouTube or Storify problem?).

Robert Scoble is engaged & freaked out about the new world of Zuckerberg · socialbusinesslab

To curate Robert Scoble's own reflections in Facebook, I used the Storypad function, where you can grab parts of an article and also a Facebook status message. This one also includes the link (hidden behind the time link below) to Scoble's original update (and an awesome comment thread).

Most of the time I'm asking the questions of other people. Here Magnus turns the camera on me for an interesting interview where I talk about what Facebook is doing.

I even could grab comments from the Scoble thread, and import them into the story.

This popped up and I had to laugh at the Scoble "freaking" title. I'll have to watch the video to see if he's acting like this http://youtu.be/s4G4mcYOXMA
— Chris Voss · Tue, Sep 27 2011 13:43:35

After introducing Robert Scoble, I though it would be appropriate to give the microphone to Mr. Zuckerberg himself. Curating content from Facebook is still not straightforward. But I managed, again using the URL import feature in Storify.

As far as I know, Storify does not officially support Google+. But I still succeeded in grabbing this Scobleizer update using the page bookmarklet, including a link to the Google+ update and the whole comment thread (click on the title). But when I tried publishing pictures with text or reshared stories, Google+ failed me. An integration between Google+ and Storify could probably be done much easier and complete if Google had released more developer access to their content.

En Oslo Facebook-historie, kuratert utenfor Facebook #OFE2011

Morten Myrstad — Mon, 07 Feb 2011 12:00:47 GMT

Torsdag 3. februar samlet over 500 nordmenn seg til Oslo Facebook Event. I virkeligheten fant eventet sted både i og utenfor Colosseum kino, online og offline. Ved bruk av curator-verktøyet Storify har vi samlet nettsamfunnets inntrykk og dialog, systematisk og usystematisk, kronologisk og ukronologisk, høytidelig og uhøytidelig.

iQualify er et nytt nettverk, etablert av Nils Petter Nordskar og Vidar Osa. Torsdag 3. februar hadde selskapet sitt første store arrangement, Oslo Facebook Event.

Colosseum

Facebook ble brukt som den primære markedsføringskanalen. Programmet bestod primært av norske foredragsholdere, og varierte fra det mer teoretiske til praktiske caser.

Oslo Business Memo rapporterte underveis om stor interesse for konferansen i Colosseum Kino.

Etterhvert hadde over 500 meldt seg på. Også bransjekolleger var imponert.

@Nils_P_Nordskar har klart det igjen! Iflg. sikre kilder ventes over 500 personer til Oslo Facebook-event i morgen! #ofe2011

Foredragsholderne hadde forberedt seg godt.

Og publikum var klare, til å lytte, notere og kommunisere, både med gammel og ny teknologi.

Ikke alle var like opptatt av arrangementets sosiale dimensjon.

#ofe2011. Da er jeg på plass. Begynn!

Underveis ble det tvitret både innen- og utenfor konferansesalen.

At man samler folk irl til #ofe2011 er da veldig 2007?

En kuratert curation-historie

Morten Myrstad — Thu, 27 Jan 2011 00:01:58 GMT

Content curation har hittil i 2011 vært et buzz-word, og jeg har vært nysgjerrig etter å vite mer om hva curation-trenden innebærer. Underveis har jeg sjekket både eksperter, verktøy og analyser. Her er resultatet så langt:

Storified by Morten Myrstad · Thu, Oct 27 2011 14:33:42

En liten curation-historie: Forhørte meg med andre norske tvitrere om de hadde noen erfaring med curation-verktøy. @hvarfredriksen hadde som vanlig god innsikt innenfor rammen på 140 tegn:

@myrstad Hei, Morten. Foreløpig innser jeg at det perfekte kuratorverktøyet ennå ikke er oppfunnet.
— hvarfredriksen · Tue, Jan 25 2011 09:37:28

En liten selvdigging syntes jeg da vi kunne koste på oss:

@hvarfredriksen Hehe. Mao: De beste kuratorene er oss selv. :)
— myrstad · Tue, Jan 25 2011 14:00:39

Som var gjensidig....

@myrstad Absolutt. Og med Twitter som platform er vi uslåelige i så måte. ;)
— hvarfredriksen · Tue, Jan 25 2011 20:15:39

Tross all menneskelig eleganse (og utmerket content creation), syntes jeg content curation var et et fenomen å undersøke nærmere. Resultatet, etter en ukes research, ble en blogg, og en twitter-intro:

@hvarfredriksen Du - en twitter-konge. :) Jeg trengte nok mer enn 140 tegn for å gå inn i fenomenet content curation: http://bit.ly/h6XamT

Lys fremtid for content curation? – på bekostning av Google?, var tittelen på bloggen.

Jeg hadde da funnet en rekke curation-eksperter å følge. Noen fant jeg via Quora. Men jeg fant også gode andre kilder, og delte min ekspertliste på Quora:

I kveld kom mailen med innloggingskoden. Og denne curation-fortellingen er det første resultatet!
