Digital tools present us with both the need and the ability to curate the texts and information we encounter and create in virtual spaces. What tools do we employ? How do we evaluate them?

• What curation tools would you recommend? (There is a place below to collaboratively build a list. Just click Edit at the top of this page to add to it.)
• How do these tools support my efforts to curate resources for my work? For my students?
• What practical curation strategies have people used to manage the abundance of information available on the web?
• How do the strategies we employ inform our selection of tools? How do the tools we choose inform the strategies we employ?

Curation Tools (include a link, a brief description, and why you like it.)

• Storyify - allows you to bring in tagged content from Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Flickr, web sites, etc. to build embeddable stories; Good because it lets you hand choose (curate) what you include, unlike some other services which work only on tags
• Diigo- a social bookmarking tool that allows collaborative annotation. I like Diigo because it allows me to tag, highlight, annotate and collaborate. I think it is good representation of how texts and tools are evolving. (I guess I buy the claim made by this image.)
