We’ve been in private beta since a little more than 2 months now, and we’re happy to have been covered by several blogs. It seems the “curation topic” is getting hotter and hotter, and we’re definitely part of it.

We want to thank all the bloggers who have written about us, and of course, all our first users for the huge amount of feedback they’ve sent us. We’ve already shared the video we had about us, but here is a longer list of blogposts:

There’s a button in Scoop it that you cannot miss: the Bookmarklet.

The principle is easy: while you are browning the web, if you stumble on a very interesting link (it can be a video, a song, an article, a picture, or whatever), you can share it directly on your Topic on scoop it!

The Scoop.it team attended the leading tech european event last week, Leweb. As we’re in private beta, our objective was to get as much feedback as possible and meet key people from the tech industry. Goal 100% achieved, and even more as we got “as a bonus” a few interviews. Each time it’s Guillaume Decugis who speaks, the CEO of Goojet, the company behind Scoop.it

The first one for Capecalm, a Web-TV about startups, entrepreneurship and innovation.

And then, a few others with French medias:

Scoop.it as a collaborative tool

Posted on

YES Scoop.it is topic-centric, but BUT we can’t forget that it’s first of all a social media.

The main difference with the others social media is essential: Scoop.it lets users follow topics, not people. Scoop.it brings you content on topics you’ve decided to follow, shared by other people on these topics. People we meet are users who are willing to discuss about the same subjects. What gather people together are their passions! We don’t always share our passions with our friends: especially if they are unusual. Your interest about the Chinese culture may not be shared with your best friend!

From the very beginning of the creation of a topic, the user is deciding everything: your topic is your baby!

  • First, when you create your own topic, you set up content sources related to it. These sources could be Twitter, Flickr, Youtube, Digg, Google… But be selective: you won’t make your life easier by piling up dozens of so-so sources!

Over the past few months, there’s been an interesting number of new developments with regards to Web Curation, following several predictions that this would be come a hot topic or even a “billion dollar opportunity“.

What’s this all about ?

A definition I like for web curation is Rohit Bhargava’s : A Content Curator is someone who continually finds, groups, organizes and shares the best and most relevant content on a specific issue online.

You’ve always dreamt to have your own blog but…

Who has never been a bit envious of these bloggers: they always have something to say, they have inspiration every day, they have an idea about everything…

But the truth is: most people don’t have time for that, it’s complex… and we don’t have a fantastic subject in mind from Monday to Tuesday.

Why is a topic with Scoop.it different to a blog?
