Curated content
Now a days, when more and more content appear out there, it is more and more difficult to follow the important and interesting content that appears on the internet every day.
A lot of blogs appear and disappear in a daily basis, and sites like tuxmachines in the case of Linux are great to find good content.
But, can you create your own curated site? The answer is yes, and here is how to do it.
Tumblr
First thing you need is a place to publish your curated content, so create a tumblr page for this goal, it is easy to do it, and will not be covered here.
dlvr.it
dlvr.it is a site that let’s you grab one or more RSS feeds and then publish its content to places like Twitter, Facebook, Google Buzz, LinkedIn and others, one of those others is Tumblr, so you can grab some RSS or Atom Feeds and send its contents to a Tumblr site, this way Tumblr users may get the latest news or posts in the niche they are interested in.
A good thing about dlvr.it is that it lets you filter the content, so if you add a site like mashable, you do not need to share all the posts that appear there, you may filter only the post that talks about google, if that is what you want.
Caveat reader
One thing you should consider is the copy rights of the content you are republishing, be sure to add a link back, and of course do not publish the full content, just Title, some excerpt if possible and a link to the full article in its original site.
