Today, I found a product called Curation Station that could be about to change the way many of us currently collect and curate content. It’s one of the first movers in the content curation toolkit market, and as such, is bound to capture a lot of eyeballs in this fast-developing space.
I just watched an explanatory [...]

Curation Station: a content curator’s dream?

Web writing: the rules are changing
17 February 2010 – 6:24 pm
Several months ago, I remember reading an advice blog that basically suggested it was okay to be a sloppy writer online. Apparently, it’s now fine to skip punctuation, okay to stumble a bit with your grammar, and even the odd spelling mistake goes unnoticed.
I had to bite my fingers to stop myself banging out an [...]
iPad will rock for content curators
11 February 2010 – 9:05 pm
When the iPad was launched at the end of January, one of the things Steve Jobs tried to impress on us is the fact the iPad will offer the best browsing experience there is.
If the iPad is going to be anything like the iPhone (and let’s face it, it’s essentially a big iPod Touch), then [...]
Why I dislike ‘personal branding’
10 February 2010 – 8:25 pm
There’s at least one big craze every year, and 2010 looks like it’s going to be the year of the personal brand.
Everyone’s talking about it. As soon as you mention the phrase on Twitter, you get several self-proclaimed personal branding experts following you, courtesy of their obedient little Twitterbots.
The role of the content curator
3 February 2010 – 9:23 pm
Last week I read an interesting post by Robert Scoble about how he was happy to remotely curate the Apple iPad event. The latter part of his post really got me thinking about content curation vs. content creation.
Robert (a.k.a. Scobleizer) is one of the most prolific curators of tech content around, and it’s perfectly possible to [...]
What price for web design?
28 January 2010 – 8:09 pm
I’m always amazed by people who are surprised that a good web presence doesn’t come cheap. They seem shocked to learn the cost of a decent web site can run into thousands.
What must be borne in mind is the fact that a web site is the online shop-front for a business.
Heading for the cloud
18 January 2010 – 8:47 pm
I’ve wanted to make the switch from Mac to PC for many years. Not because I’m unhappy with PCs and Windows (both have been very good to me), but because I’d like to experience life on the other side. I’ve always loved Apple design, and have been close to making a purchase so many times.
The Wizard of Oz effect
7 January 2010 – 8:10 pm
I built my first web site in the mid-nineties, when everyone was sold on the idea that – thanks to the Internet – one person in their bedroom could be indistinguishable from a giant corporation like IBM.
It was a nice idea, and one that many people vehemently believed, but wow, did it lead to some [...]
Too many social networks?
23 September 2009 – 5:54 pm
For the last few years I’ve made a point of deliberately ignoring most of the social networks. I’ve been an active member of flickr for years, and have used Twitter regularly for about a year now, but I haven’t been able to find space in my life for more.
However, a few months ago, I reactivated [...]
