#curation
A service our nonprofit has been using for years (paper.li) is shutting down.
This service curated articles & media about selected topics which we could then use to populate an online newsletter. We also were able to embed that newsletter in a frame on our primary website.
Any suggestions about comparable services? Thanks for any feedback.
For today's #FollowFriday we recommend curators: people with a knack for finding the best content.
@mariapopova — "Curator of interestingness" & creator of Brain Pickings.
@Sheril — Curator of stories of diverse trailblazers in science & the arts. Host of PBS Serving Up Science.
@miaq — Curator of creators & maker of "The Art of Curation" podcast
@KaSaPo — Travel photographer who boosts other photographers.
@janettespeyer — Curator of travel, food, art & history stories.
1/ so I'm working on a toy #SearchEngine as the next step in the larger vision to upend #search I've set out here:
https://github.com/davidshq/next-search/
I've decided to limit the engine's size by only including hand selected sites.
I have added a small number of sites to the seed list that can be found here:
https://github.com/davidshq/next-search/blob/main/seeds/seed-list.csv
I'd welcome #contributions!
Please see next post for details on contributing.

Indie Games and the promise of better spaces

Zulie Rane's interview with @breana and @scott is a must-watch for anyone curious about what the new #boost means for @medium stories! ✍️ 📈

@shoq I agree with @carlrj’s summary of Slashdot’s model for level clipping distributed curation — as well as Slashdot distributed moderation discussed in the 🧵
I’m also puzzled by why no one seems to build on Slashdot experience for distributed curation, moderation, and karma. It seems to cover the bases with a troll resistant model that’s scalable.
Flipped my latest #Substack post into the Mia's Queue Magazine: https://flipboard.com/@mia/mia-s-queue-n1djnog6y
Each newsletter is an interview with an 'ordinary person with extraordinary taste.' In "#5: Eva," meet Flipboard's #curator in #spain, who is also one of Spain's top cabin experts and has an incredible eye for design.
If you love cabincore, colorful interiors and award-worthy media, this one's for you!

I am just about to turn my attention to importing additional trusted mastodon feeds. They do not have to be about climate change. Can you recommend anyone?
Big bonus points, if they are covering a topic which the MSM censors, are focused on a single topic, toot a nice description with each single recommended url, and use the hashtags my site knows about.

The first 3 climate news curators are dong a great job, but there is still the issue of categorizing content.
My tools for categorizing content are now much improved. Here is the collection of articles on greenwashing, organized by most recent first.

Importing feeds from Mastodon curators works much much better now. Toots and articles are imported separately. Images are imported. Multiple urls are allowed. Articles can be imported to a specific /#category. Articles can be sorted into categories. Hashtags and mentions are handled correctly. Curators can flag articles with #red or #yellow. Foreign languages are removed. Links to Mastodon posts are ignored. No self promotion.
+ Lots more!

@takvera
Okay, I think importing curators feeds is now working properly.
I just reimported your feed, as I read your bio, I see that you are using Paper.li. Most interesting. I often see them.
If you want we could create a custom domain name, say takvera.com, with all of your recommended links. It would look like this.
Of course the URL would be just takvera.com.
I am happy to make most any other changes you wish.

Hello,
I teach an #introductory course to #dinosaurs in #EnvironmentalScience at #UMassBoston each spring.
I would be thrilled to host virtual or corporeal #guest #lecturers on subjects including #fossil preparation, reconstruction, dinosaurs in culture, #curation of fossils, et cetera. ½ hr to 50 minutes?
UMB is the only public research university in #Boston. We are diverse with ca. 40% first generation college students and 70% of undergraduate students being people of color.
Interested?

As an online art enthusiast, I'm turning increasingly luddite on AI-generated drawings and text. There's a huge curation problem coming, not to mention a skills gap in the world's need for critical media literacy. The cost of producing bull poop is coming down rapidly without the accompanying rise in filtering tools to compensate
I think there are also opportunities for startups and technological solutions for curation that are not there today

@Homebrewandhacking I am using #Misskey for #Curation due to its custom timeline features (called “Antennas”) that allow me to differentiate between those I follow.
I need to rethink how https://learnawesome.org/ - my open-source hobby project of last couple of years - should evolve.
At its core, it's a curated dataset. A key question is: Who does the curation?
- If I do it myself, it's too expensive.
- If it's crowdsourced, handling spam and abuse is too expensive.
- If an algorithm does it, quality suffers.
But more importantly, is it even useful?
Interesting in hearing what people think.

Posts on a Mastodon timeline are sorted in chronological order, new to old. I think algorithmic curation (e.g., highlighting popular posts) is acceptable as long as it's open source and testable.
#Fediview, which uses an open source algorithm, can selectively display popular posts from your Mastodon timeline based on posts' boosts and favorites. https://fediview.com/

5/ Okay, great, so you can make money by improving #SearchEngine results. But even if this happens - won't the rewards go to experts in various fields? Won't it be the professionals who reap the rewards? Yes and no.
We have seen with #Wikipedia that great contributions can come from individuals without #TraditionalExpertise in a field.
Individuals who are willing to research and who have the time to research could create quality #curation.
@Br3nda ‘tis the trouble with many implementations - there’s a long way between suitable for general audiences (project it on TV screensaver background) and NSFW and full on CW. Still my vote for #community #curation
it's brilliant reading posts by people who are falling in love with #mastodon & its beautifully thriving ecosystem...but it's no dinner party. it's a fucking rave, man.

Thinking about the artists that now have to find and grow their audience again, who lost key nodes that gave them professional access. The friction on audience growth, on increased density of the social graph, definitely makes making a living more difficult for artists.
It highlights that all the complex #curation and #recommendation #algorithms of the more corporate social media is ideal for commercial spaces and for business. Yes, even under those use cases they are problems, of course, since they also incentivize data harvesting that can lead to privacy invasion. But if we restrict the scope to #commerce or #business, those algorithms *at least* address a real market problem even if its at the cost of privacy.
The issue is that corporate social media tried apply the solution to a town square, as a consequence of their business model. While some users on the "town square" had commercial interests, it was not enough to benefit these commercial interests--that is drive up *relative* engagement--but also to increase the absolute level of engagement, i.e. drive up the level of participation on the platform itself. As a result, it disempowered users by outsourcing rather than facilitating curation and by favoring private recommendations over community curation.
Corporate social media has been a huge mistake, but I do think there are still public uses for big data and maybe ways to democratize algorithmic curation, and set up the right kind of semi-porous barrier between commercial and non-commercial UX.

Ten years ago, I did a talk on the ethics of #curation vs. creation. (40,000 views and counting on across a few events on Slideshare!) I spoke about how "curating" content--the hot term then--through aggregation, organization, and commentary was a form of creation in itself. Exhibit designers, editors, and art directors have long created new experiences from existing material. But technology outpaces legislation and our ethical response to it.
