There can be a lot of noise on social platforms these days.
Content curation has become a high quality skill in itself.
Who are some of the best content curators on Twitter ?
or
Who do you follow that has mastered the art of content curation?
Me, but not in the way you might think. I curate with a focus on helping build communities.
Thanks very much @rosiesherry. I have seen some of your content curation skills in action at https://rosie.land/ . Keep up the great work!
+1 on the newsletter. it's like one of the only
community-centricones that i subscribe to... since she usually has most of what other folks also capture.her list is prettier and more organized. and ... well, there are more links.
Hi Gordon, you are right. The ability to separate signal from noise it's increasingly valuable in whichever sector you operate. From financial news to music, having a trusted, independent lighthouse (or more than one), is definitely helpful in discovering what counts and in seeing beyond the surface through the eyes of someone else.
There are very many talented curators out there, and they are growing by the day. Each topic / interest area, has its own ones.
