Information Curation

Happy Easter!

This week's assignment was to look into information curation, which is a site where new articles are a collected and sorted. I did not know about what information curations, but it is very interesting. One can look through topics and save articles to a your personal curation.

When searching through the sites, I liked Flipboard the most. The layout is very similar to reading an actual magazine because it feel like you're flipping the pages.  I also liked that saving an article is easy because the buttons are located at the bottom of the page. Google Currents is easy to use as well. You can look for magazines and save them to your lifestyle section. When looking through Paper.li, I felt it fell short in comparison to the curation Apps. Once you have created a paper, you cannot add another topic to it or follow on twitter. I found that I wanted to have all the articles on one page instead of creating different newspapers for each topic. I do not think I could see myself using this website.
