The Curation Economy & “The Brand of You”
Just a few links that have been on my mind
What drove me to find untapped value on Medium
“So, we are shifting our resources and attention to defining a new model for writers and creators to be rewarded, based on the value they’re creating for people.”
“We believe people who write and share ideas should be rewarded on their ability to enlighten and inform, not simply their ability to attract a few seconds of attention.”
“the right solution to the big question of driving payment for quality content.”
“Publishing, as we know it, is broken. More specifically, publishing on the internet is broken … While tactics change and evolve over time, they’re all powered by the same thing: a business model predicated around the almighty pageview.”
“make sure that all sides (publishers and readers) are deriving value — actual value — from the content”
“If (Medium) can figure out a way to do what it’s attempting to do, it’s potentially a new lease on life for some current forms of content, but more importantly, it opens up avenues for brand new types of content that might otherwise never have existed.”
Ev was correct in his post — content creators aren’t paid well enough, and all this negative press still doesn’t get us closer to figuring out a long term, sustainable revenue model for media.
The Content Curation Economy — think comments
The Third Law: Curation isn’t a hobby, it’s both a profession and a calling. Curators need to be paid to be part of the emerging ecosystem. What’s a fair fee will depend on how critical the curator’s output is in the category. But an economic basis is essential, and inevitable.
Curation isn’t a hobby, it’s both a profession and a calling. Curators need to be paid to be part of the emerging ecosystem.
The Fifth Law: Curation within narrow, focused, high-quality categories will emerge to compete with the mass-media copycats who are filling the curation space with lists, cat videos, and meme links.
The cure for information overload is coherent curation — data-driven discovery managed by skilled, thoughtful, and in some cases expert curators. Much as the quality of a restaurant is created by the chef, the quality of the curated end-product is going to be made by the curator.
The cure for information overload is coherent curation … the quality of the curated end-product is going to be made by the curator. That creates new jobs, new opportunities, and even new economies in a world of information abundance.
New jobs? Please tell me more!
Innovate — curation! | Steve Rosenbaum | TEDxGrandRapids
Curation is the new magic that makes the web work. Bringing the web back to human scale with human filters you trust and love. A powerful mix of passion and context turns noise back into signal.
online publishing is now ubiquitous and incessant, with the consequence that we’re often overwhelmed with raw, unfiltered, context-free information.
The volume of digital information available makes it increasingly challenging to find the information you are interested in. Curation in a digital world isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity.
Effective curation requires technology and tools to find, filter and validate content
(Curation) includes some insight to the content, even personal opinion. The more consummate content curators will use storytelling techniques to join up the dots between what might have been several disparate content sources.
There are a growing number of organisations (in the Social Media sector) that sell content curation as a value-added service to their clients and users. These will be typically providing marketing, brand awareness and customer community services.
