How it works

Slide 23

Slide 23 text

Aggregation vs Curation Aggregation is automated. Curation is manual.

Slide 24

Slide 24 text

Aggregation Typically, keyword driven (algorithms) + Fast + Many sources - No quality check/validation - Often lacks proper context

Slide 25

Slide 25 text

Curation Why are you curating? Who are you curating for? - Time investment + Check for quality & context + More options and control for distribution

Slide 26

Slide 26 text

Automatic vs Manual

Slide 27

Slide 27 text

Best of Both

Slide 28

More signal. Less noise.

Slide 31

A bit less simple Where do you look for content? How do you find the best stuff? How do you find the time to do it well? What do you do with it once you find it?
