I first began with Scoop.it to discover and share interesting articles with other writers, authors, and aspiring authors. Daily I scour the web for news and changing trends in the self-publishing industry. As an author, I use it to help build my platform and position myself as an expert. As I progressed, I found Scoop.it very powerful in enabling me to share content--and share it quickly. If I find an article worth sharing, I can use the Scoop.it bookmarklet to grab it, write my review, set up relevant tags for SEO, share on multiple social media networks, and even publish to my blog! Content curation with Scoop.it has helped me sharpen my writing and social media skills, learn, teach, and interact with other professionals. Oh, and it's fun, too!
- Provides suggestions daily for each of your topics depending on keywords you choose. There is no guesswork about what to share.
- Allows sharing of your content to various social media outlets with the touch of a button. Your content gets spread quickly.
- Your own beautiful front page functions as your website. It shows the curator profile, and all your topics.
- Low Adoption rate by social media users. Most writers still don't understand how it can benefit their author platform.
- Pricing for business version can be a bit out of the league of most writers. Full version is $79/month. You can always use the free version.
I personally use Scoop It to curate articles on current technology uses in education. It is not being used across a department or organization. It addresses the countless hours of research that would be necessary to keep abreast of latest developments.
- It pulls articles from a vast array of sources based on particular keywords.
- The reminders of what is occurring with respect to Scoop It via email is wonderful.
- Allows for following other "Scoopers."
- Can't seem to get the advertisements for products blocked from the suggestions area. Scrolling through all of them is a real time wasting activity.
We used Scoop.it at TeachThought to share our articles and articles from other educational organizations that we found impressive, related to content we provided, or related to important trends in education.
- I love how easy it is to Scoop an article from another user. That makes content curation easy and it helps you to promote the thoughts or resources another has provided.
- I love how easy it is to favorite or like an item.
- Following another user is simple and receiving updates from all the users you are following is easy.
- Finally, I appreciate how easy it is to curate content using the feed feature. It is also easy to remove content from the feed.
- I would like the feed results to be easier to filter and use. I was getting quite a bit of junk for a while and it took a bit of time to ensure that I wasn't receiving links to irrelevant articles in my feed.

Scoop.it provides smart listening, curation, and publishing
The Communications and Marketing office at the University of San Francisco is using Scoop.it to aggregate and curate mentions of the university in social media. It addresses the business problem of being able to curate and create the ongoing story about how the university changes the world from here, based on user-generated content provided by the USF community.
- Content Marketing - The ability to monitor for key words, select the best content, edit and create a unique content item with its own URL that links back to the original source, and then simply share that content item through own social media channels.
- Integration - the monitoring pulls in content and display items from many different sources really well on the topic page. Topics can be configured and embedded into your own website to become a part of your branded platform(s).
- Flexibility - the possibility to edit everything related to a curated item (headline, image, description, add insights) and still have the necessary link back to the original source built in by default. This saves a lot of time and effort compared to creating separate blog items.
- I would love to have the ability to RSS-feed scooped items categorized by tags
- The e-newsletter extension is promising and really helpful for us. It could be built out more to allow for more flexibility around content arrangement and targeting.
- The analytics report gives a detailed aggregated overview, but the usability and ability to look at specific scoops could be improved.

Scoop.it right up and use this website
Scoop.it helped to fill the void of having information that was too cluttered with unreliable data with trusted sources of meaningful information pertaining to our line of business. It was used as a marketing tool to gather and share thoughtful data in our particular market. I used Scoop.it to find interesting articles to share internally and with clients to show that we understood their thoughts and business intentions. By having a Scoop.it account, we were able to access and filter data to build on our already extensive knowledge base, but also allow us to use our business resources appropriately by not having to have a large workforce for blogging. It allowed us to keep our company budgets in working order and gave us great sources to use as proof for our concepts and ideas.
- The site is simple to use and laid out in a logical manner that allowed for easy access to pertinent information.
- As the site grows, so does the number of searchable topics. It creates near perfect topics and content to match our business.
- What really adds value to the site, is that there is the ability to share the content through many of the most popular forms of social media. It brings another level of inclusion and communication between the many different social media sites.
- When we first implemented the usage of Scoop.it the topics of search were very limited, but as the popularity grows, so does the number of searchable topics.

Go from dry data to artistic ease with Scoop.it!
We use Scoop.it as a magnifying glass to highlight something we want to put emphasis on in our publicity or education. For example, we teach a therapy called chelation, so we have a Scoop.it describing what that therapy is, and we can update it regularly. We create a Scoop.it for each city that we hold a conference in, including hotel and airport information with specific links, and fun highlights of what to do while you're there.
- Graphics are Scoop.it's strength. Scoop.it sites look great on social media; they invite people in to a much larger room of information, and engage them with color and well-placed articles. We love the design and it is very easy to share.
- We like the fact that we can add a few comments of our own as well as recommend other sources. This keeps the information personal.
- For important topics, one facebook post or one article illustration just isn't enough. Scoop.it allows us to cluster information that is obviously tied together but gives a variety of perspectives on a topic.
- We wish we could have control over the font
- We don't find the suggested articles page helpful- most of the time the articles aren't useful to us
