Good luck to them with that Magify patent hanging over their head. And nice Pinterest design :)
Pretty amazing iPad app. Forget everything else, make it easy to publish content online. No doubt 22 of the top 25 news companies are using Storify, including the White House and presidential candidates this year.
Looks like much-maligned U.S. Patent and Trademark Office is getting into the holiday spirit and trying to make entrepreneurs swoon. After six years, the agency has suddenly decided to give Steve Rosenbaum, founder and CEO of Magnify.net, the gift he’s been waiting for—U.S. Patent No. 8,117,545, covering a hosted video discovery and publishing platform—complete with a Valentine’s issuance date.
"A hosted system provides any Internet user with the ability to quickly set up and customize a video channel, preferably as a web page or site that can be reached from any Internet-accessible device having a web browser. The solution includes tools for use by channel site creators to customize the look, feel, and page design. A particular web page or site may be associated with a given subject. As used herein, a page or site that has such an association is sometimes referred to as “subject-specific...”
That's a big blow to any startup focusing on video curation. Though who knows if Magnigy will do anything to leverage this against them. As much as it seems a bad thing for competition purposes and eco-system, historically it has been rare that companies leveraged patents to kill their competitors. Though now, we know who's the 800lb gorilla....
And Magnify's valuation just increased tremendously. Large players like Google like to buy startups for:

So we asked to ourselves, wouldn’t it be nice to have a tool to organize and share most of this content. A place to save all the amazing articles, photos and videos that inspires you online. Beside now you do not have to be sticked on feeds to keep up with the news.

Most people who use Pinterest are there for the cool things they can find and re-pin. Many of those find and pint new items themselves, adding to the experience overall. Lots of people have expressed dismay that someone might want to use Pinterest for anything commercial, while other see no problem with it so long as they don’t wind up feeling “sold to” every time they visit the site. Some items pinned on Pinterest are for sale. Not necessarily directly by the pinner, but somewhere. And, Pinterest is taking advantage of this to make money. If an item is available through an affiliate marketing arrangement, Pinterest uses a program called SkimLinks to add their unique identifier to the link, thus generating a commission for themselves if you buy the item.
They've got to make money somehow, and they must be disclosing this somehow... well i hope for them.
The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is looking to develop a Web app that can continuously monitor social networks, including Facebook, Twitter, and Myspace, as well as various news feeds. The organization’s goal is to improve its real-time intelligence when it comes to current and emerging security threats.
They even provided specifications for the web app!
[...] the 12-page Request for Information document (PDF, half the pages are oddly blank) reveals in detail what the organization is interested in.
Are you ready to get your social media activity monitored by the FBI?

"push button content generation."
Here's what he means: Clicking Pinterest's "Pin It" button, which can be added to your browser's bookmarks toolbar, will automatically grab the picture you want from the website you are on. What is different is that it immediately adds it to any of your Pinterest boards, allowing you to categorize your content then and there. The boards each have a separate page and can be easily accessed, shared and viewed on a sort of mother board on your Pinterest profile.
"Importantly, it was easy for new users to consume these sets of content visually as structured sets, and to share these sets with others," Gil wrote. "This next wave of social curation will fundamentally change how users find and interact with content over time."
There won't be a shortage of "curate anything" sites in 2012...

Project Argo is collection of tools and best practices for building topic-focused sites in WordPress.
The code and tutorials that you find on this site were designed to enable a pilot group of 12 NPR member stations to curate and report on news about specific topics of local interest.
The 12 sites the Argo suite was built for encompassed a range of topics, from climate change to local music. Overall, the sites share several key characteristics: frequent publishing, often with several posts a day; robust use of images; and a mix of curatorial and original material. Any topic-focused site that matches these criteria might benefit from our methods, themes or plugins.
Even with the right tools, it's not obvious how to reach a robust audience for a topic. In this section, we share what we've learned during Project Argo, and what we recommend to anyone taking on a topical blogging project.

Our algorithm interprets the little gestures of the way the article is read and points are given accordingly. Then the weight of the points are reduced in function of time to keep the content fresh. You read, you rate.
Very neat. I love the aspect of the reading analysis they do. Though it is kind of creepy, that means they know what you read and where you go...
You can now
The war's on.
Welcome to our new content discovery experience, powered by the collective curation efforts of the Paper.li community.
The Paper.li Topical Browser opens the door for anyone to discover and explore content spanning more than 20,000 curated topics ranging from mainstream to niche.
paper.li introduced a "Topical" browser, basically a giant search engine that is searching across the millions of aggregated articles on their platform. Pretty good source for content discovery i think.
As Google Plus grows in users and usage, Google should be only months away from being able to present us with content we might have missed and that is interesting and relevant to us.
Personalization at its best, Google knows where you have been, what you read, so it should be a piece of cake to do something pretty neat.
