Content Curation Strategy

Who: your target ?

Why: do they need it ?

What: have you asked them ?

Where: only digital ?

When: time frame ?

How: tools to use ?


Organising Content

Tagging: key words/tags dictate the quality of content

e.g. tag clouds

Recommendations: based on content consumption

patterns e.g. Amazon

Filtering: filtered navigation e.g. Google advanced

search

Topic pages: single page search e.g. Pinterest

Topic maps: Visually grouped/related e.g. PearlTrees


Digital archiving

Aggregation: most relevant in one location

Distillation: filtering according to relevance

Elevation: identifying trends and insights

Mashups: merging content to create a new view

Chronology: time based content to show evolving
