A player people can follow with Yokto leverage the collective power of over a billion originally-created videos and millions of presentations to captivate and inspire your audience.
I always appreciate when a very complex and important subject is simplified to ease understanding. Curation is no exception. The truth is that for several years there were two kinds of people in social media, those who create content and those who consume it.
Historically, creators were among the digital elite, the so-called digerati, as only a small percentage was actively dedicated to creating. But there’s a world wide web out there and everyday people consuming social content dramatically outnumber the digerati.
We’re opening up Mashable Follow to all our users.
Ten weeks ago we announced the private beta test of Mashable Follow, a new social layer at Mashable that lets you follow the topics that interest you, create a profile on the site, share stories to your multiple social networks in a single click, connect with friends and much more.
We’re pleased to say the private beta has been extremely successful, and now we’re opening up Mashable Follow to all our users. We appreciated all of the feedback that we received from our beta users and going forward we’re still seeking your feedback on how we can improve. Please let us know if you have ideas.
The immense availability of hundreds of social media monitoring tools is both exciting and confusing: Social media professionals now have tools available to them manage and measure their social efforts, but shopping for the right software in such a cluttered space is often frustrating and confusing.
Community managers, social media managers, consultants and agency professionals alike have many of the same concerns. What are the questions I should ask before purchasing a social media monitoring service? What are the best social media monitoring tools out there? Are there budget-friendly social media monitoring options?
Oneforty recently surveyed 150 social media professionals to learn about what their main concerns were when it came to social media monitoring. What follows is an infographic produced in partnership with Kissmetrics to show you their main questions, as well as favorite social media monitoring tools. The list of tools at the bottom shows the most popular tools according to survey respondents who answered a question regarding which tools they use, and is admittedly not conclusive.

The explosion of real-time information through social networks like Twitter and Facebook has created an opportunity for "curation" tools such as Storify, which just launched as a public beta.
Tools like Storify allow anyone to perform the same kind of function, regardless of whether they have been trained as a journalist — or even think of what they are doing as journalism.
A Web start-up named Storify, which opens to the public Monday, April 25, 2011, aims to help journalists and others collect and filter all this information.
Storify aims to help journalists and others sift through the explosion of online content and publish the most relevant information.
Using the Storify Web site, people can find and piece together publicly available content from Twitter, Flickr, Facebook, YouTube and other sites. They can also add text and embed the resulting collages of content on their own sites
As the number of information sources grows and become decentralized, here are four ways it helps news organizations and their communities:
1. Better information for the community and someone looking out for their interests to highlight the best.
2. Better journalism because the links to other sources can be put in context and explanations added.
3. More potential traffic and time on site for the news organization, which delivers more value to advertisers or sponsors. (More time on site would derive from having more links to engage readers, not from any assumption that the main site would publish more than teasers.
4. More exposure for smaller sites and other sources of information, who can potentially be part of a network that delivers more value to advertisers and users alike.
