Content Curation

Content curation is the practice of collecting, organizing, and sharing other people's (or your own) content around a theme, as distinct from content automation, which republishes your own new content the moment it's published. The two get confused often, but they serve different goals: curation builds authority and audience around a topic, while automation keeps your own distribution consistent with zero manual effort. This tag explores curation-focused tools and platforms, how they complement (rather than replace) an RSS auto-poster like PostRSS, and where the line between the two approaches actually falls. Several articles take a specific source and show what curating from it looks like in practice, including turning a Google Alerts search into a feed you can act on. Others compare a reader with rules against a dedicated auto-poster, which is the fork in the road most people reach eventually.
