Yes, it is. It’s also completely out of reach for small businesses or solo professionals. $1,000 a month, right?

Our product Curata (www.curata.com) is pretty close to what you are describing.

Hi Scott

I agree with you regarding scoopit. I’ve been using it for a couple of weeks and yes it is good but I find myself using it to find the content and then I use posterous to do the curation.
In other words I am doubling up on the work but at least scoop.it is dragging the content in to me and i can filter it.

This shareist looks interesting, let me know how it goes.

I’ve requested an account so if you can give them a nudge and a wink I’d appreciate it.

cheers

Terry

Great post! I’m a new blogger and I really need this information. I have never heard about www.shareist.com/ But I think based on the discussion here it sound interesting.

I grew frustrated with curation tools and pretty much stopped looking for a while. I’m planning on revisiting it soon for an upcoming project, but until then, there’s just too much crap out there to sort through. In other words, it’s hard to curate the curation crap.

Wow! Scott I have been thinking about this all day. I decided to search twitter for Curata and found your post.

I was coming at this from a different angle. We have hundreds of customers who don’t quite get the content marketing thing and I was looking for a solution that we could recommend to them so they could have an easier time with creation.

Curata is way to pricey for our customers, but I will check out the others.

An invite to shareist would be nice as well. 🙂

Shareist sounds great — the copy on their site was speaking directly to me! Unfortunately, it’s in invitation-only beta at the moment. I’ve requested a code, so we’ll see. If either of you guys know anyone there, let me know. I’ll try nudging them on Twitter too.

Thanks for the suggestion, Mat. I played with ScoopIt for a bit today and really liked it. The curation was simple and efficient, I love the look of the output page (see www.scoop.it/t/linked-intelligence ), and you can get the output as RSS, which you could use to feed your blog, as well as other social networks.

However, on a free account, all the links redirect to ScoopIt (your page on ScoopIt, with the individual story in a pop-up window). It’s not the best reader experience — requires 2 clicks/page loads to get to the actual story. To even think about using this for business, I think you’d pretty much HAVE to get a business account — at $79/month. I think the value is there, in terms of time savings, but it just FEELS a bit pricey… we’ll see how I feel about that after I’ve looked at some of the other tools though. 🙂
