This week we were joined by Christel ven der Boom (@xtel), Flipboard’s head of comms, to talk about the value of content curation.
Q1: What is content curation? Is it just social sharing?
Content curation is sharing valuable, interesting content—and your POV—with your audience.
A1: It’s sharing content that’s relevant to your audience. You can add your thoughts on how it impacts your industry to make the share more unique. – @jesseghiorzi #ContentChat

A1. Via @econtentmag, “#Content Curation is the act of discovering, gathering, and presenting #digital content that surrounds specific subject matter.” It can be so much more than just #social sharing!#ContentChathttps://t.co/H8taxfWMa8

A1: For me, content curation goes beyond social sharing in that you have to focus on the messaging behind the content. Anything you share should absolutely be on brand and in line with your values. #contentchat https://t.co/9XcX8h4W5i

Content curation collects and provides context to content by paring related content under one umbrella. Sharing with purpose.
A1: Content curation goes beyond just social sharing. It’s a way to collect information and stories to save for later as well as a way to package content from across the web for easy consumption in one easy to find place. #ContentChat

A1 Content curation shouldn’t just be sharing content. It should be sharing with purpose. Adding context to make it more valuable. #contentchat

A1 content curation can be social but it’s more about sharing a collection of content that’s interesting for your audience #contentchat https://t.co/pIevQheMGK

A1: Curation supercharges social sharing. When stories are packaged together, the whole can be more impactful than the parts. Here is a powerful example of curation on @Flipboard by @giwps https://t.co/xRyridJzBL #ContentChat

Content curation isn’t limited to social. It can take other forms.
A1: It’s helping your audience find other content that would be valuable to them. It can include social sharing, but could also be something like link roundup posts or promoting useful content to your email list #contentchat

My $.02: it’s definitely more than social. It can be a printed magazine, an article, a Flipboard magazine. Curation is all about the selection! #contentchat
