What tools do you use for curation?

Pretty simple setup:

RSS feeds for my go-to blogs and a couple YouTube channels, Pocket for saving things I swear I'll read later (I won't), and a private Slack channel for sharing with my team where the only rule is: link + one sentence on why it matters.

Biggest change was being honest about what I actually read vs. what I was subscribed to. Unsubscribed from everything I hadn't opened in a month. Hurt a little. Worth it.

The tool matters way less than the filter. What's your bar for "this is worth sharing"?

Well since @WayneSmallman started w/ the blatant self-promotion, I'll carry on with some more! :-)

We (MRR Ventures) recently took over Goodbits, which is purpose-built to curate links and publish newsletters.

For getting curated content IN to your newsletter, there's a browser extension to collect content, as well as connect Pocket, RSS feeds and Zapier to import content into the editor.

For publishing the newsletter, you can send with Goodbits or connect via API to MailChimp, ConvertKit or other email service provider to use their sending and subscriber management platform.

That said, there's plenty of good options to use tools like Notion, Roam and Airtable to 'roll-your-own' workflow.

My newsletter is hosted at Revue and the main curation tool I use is the Revue Chrome extension. It's a web clipper that integrates well with the platform.

I shared my newsletter publishing process along with details on my tools and workflow.

I use a mix of Notion and Bookmarks, as well as having an email address specifically dedicated to content curation and email newsletters that I subscribe to. I did see someone here on IH recently who is also building an app for keeping and categorizing bookmarks.

Notion.io is my fav. I keept everything there.

Hi Dan, while this is a blatent self promotion, I use the Under Cloud myself — "dogfooding" is the phrase, I think.

The emphasis is on connecting the things we create to things we find, to build narratives of the learning process.

I use Google Keep. It doesn't have any bells and whistles and that's why I like it. If I have too many features I spend to much time curating the curating, if you know what I mean. I use the Google Keep Chrome extension and apply labels to everything I find so it's easy to find it later. Other than the labels, keyword search is the only other feature I need and want. Also, believe it or not, I like everything in one place so I have content next to my grocery list, blog posts, Twitter threads etc. With labels and search it all works and I know everything I'm doing is in one place

Great question! Here are some of my favs...

1. Notion.so - great note-taking, list, writing, everything app. Has nice browser plug in so I can dump things into folders whenever I want. (Bear for Apple would be a close second, but Notion is way more versatile and universal). Honestly, I've been drafting my posts on here as well--you can write in Markdown and embed all kinds of stuff!! :-D. Oh, and you can also collaborate with other writers on Notion. (I am NOT affiliated btw, just love the app)

2. Wakelet.com - super flexible, responsive, and free app. They support educators a lot as well. I shared one of my collections in this post on IH.

Good luck!

Pretty much google docs + sheets. I have a separate docs which I call link dumps where I paste any links that I think will be useful. Then a google sheet to keep track of all the links that have already been featured in the newsletter.

Every week I empty the docs and put in new links, match it with google sheet while creating my issue and repeat the process.

I dump everything into Roam (https://roamresearch.com/), a page for each newsletter.

I use a bookmarklet I made that directly adds url and page title to a google sheet. I'm a bit obsessed with google sheets.
