The Benefits of Content Curation and How to Make it Work for You
See on Scoop.it - Mentally Speaking


Beth Kanter wrote a very complete and interesting piece in NTEN’s latest edition of their quarterly journal for non-profit leaders. You have to download the journal but it’s worth it and it’s free (you just need to register). 

Jan Gordon: I want to thank Beth not only for another outstanding piece but for the mention, it’s greatly appreciated.

I agree with Guillaume, Beth Kanter knows what she’s talking about and her article is definitely worth reading.

Guillaume Decugis wrote this commentary:

“It’s been fascinating for me to see how non-profits seem to embrace Social Media in general and Content Curation in particular - Beth of course being a key advocate in that move.

The broader take-away that I see for those of us in all sorts of organizations, as independant professionals or SMB-owners is the validation it brings to the model. When tightly-budgeted NPO’s embrace a practice as a group, you can bet they’re not wasting their scarce resources on a hype. They have to be efficient and as Beth puts it in the article: ”Putting content curation into practice is part art form, part science, but mostly about daily practice. You don’t need to do it for hours, but 20 minutes every day will help you develop and hone the skills.”

This is precisely where we see the opportunity with curation for professionals: building up a good practice that fits with one’s daily routine and that -as Beth puts it - brings great “unexpected benefits”.

How Images Impact us Online [Infographic]
See on Scoop.it - Mentally Speaking


This infographic is a fascinating look at images and the web and their affect on us when making decisions about a particular company, how important they are when it comes to selling products online and much more.

Here is one thing that caught my attention:

How images affect Social Engagement

Social media posts also benefit from adding photos. According to an analysis by Web Liquid (conducted pre-Timeline), Facebook posts with photos have the highest user engagement than any other post

Engagement rate with Facebook posts by type

*0.37% Photo

*0.31% Video

*0.27% Test Only

*0.15% Link

We are bombarded with too much text, images have a way of connecting with the reader that can persuade, create a connection, affect your decision to purchase a product and much more
