During my interview on Twitter a couple of months ago, moderator Atomic Reach (@Atomic_Reach) mentioned that I used more than 15 services and tools for content curation.
A few people were intrigued and asked me if I could share a list of them. Here it is below.
Note: I have also included a couple of services that allow me to find stuff worth sharing.

When it comes to curation, you cannot just copy and paste content. You have to be a little creative at times!
My friend Tom Georges, the founder and CEO of Internet Billboards, is a pro on the topic of curation. Here are some tips from him:
1. Try changing the title, give it a new catchy headline notice. Try it and have fun with it. It pulls you in.
2. Give it a little narrative. I call this contextual curation, but let your audience find your style and voice and create some extra value.
3. Add a link or two into your narrative to give more props on the content you are covering. Give a twitter link, or drop a link to the author’s actual website, especially if it is a guest post you are covering.
4. Comment on the site for the content you are curating. +Cendrine Marrouat does this a lot. Add a valuable comment. Not “oh I curated your piece”, but just a valuable comment. You will be surprised how your rep will grow as a curator.
5. Support other curators in their discovery and their processes. Makes introductions and suggestions. When you build a valuable community with others, you are part of something much larger then just yourself.
