Scoop.it has proven to be a valuable tool in various industries and educational institutions. The Communications and Marketing office at the University of San Francisco has effectively used Scoop.it to aggregate and curate mentions of the university in social media, creating an ongoing narrative about the university's impact based on user-generated content from the USF community. This has allowed them to showcase the university's achievements and engage with their audience more effectively. In education, Scoop.it has been instrumental in helping users stay updated on the latest developments. A user who curates articles on current technology uses in education using Scoop.it has saved countless hours of research by accessing a wealth of relevant information in one centralized platform. This allows educators and administrators to stay informed about the latest trends and innovations in their field, ultimately enhancing their teaching methods and improving student outcomes. Additionally, Scoop.it serves as a reliable source for sharing meaningful information. Educational organizations like TeachThought have leveraged Scoop.it to disseminate their own articles as well as content from trusted sources. By doing so, they ensure that their audience has access to curated material from credible sources, which is crucial in an era of misinformation and fake news. Beyond the realm of education, Scoop.it has served as a versatile marketing tool for companies. Users have found it useful for finding interesting articles to share both internally and with clients, demonstrating their understanding of industry trends and thought leadership. By aggregating and filtering data, Scoop.it enables users to build upon their existing knowledge base effectively without requiring a large workforce dedicated to blogging or content creation. For authors and self-publishers, Scoop.it offers an efficient way to discover and share relevant articles within their niche. With features like the bookmarklet, users can quickly grab articles, write reviews, set up relevant SEO tags, and share them across multiple social media platforms. This level of convenience not only helps authors build their platform but also establishes them as experts in their field. Scoop.it's impact extends beyond content curation and marketing. It has fostered collaboration among professionals from different industries, allowing them to share insights, best practices, and case studies. In fields such as Information Technology, ECommerce, Internet, and Software development, Scoop.it has become a go-to platform for professionals seeking thought leadership promotion, training opportunities, and professional development resources. Additionally, organizations have found value in using Scoop.it to keep abreast of pertinent topics and trends. For example, an organization specializing in education can use Scoop.it to sift through the thousands of education-related articles on the internet, ensuring that they have a better pulse on what their members, advocates, and followers care about. This enables them to tailor their messaging and offerings to meet the needs and interests of their audience more effectively. Moreover, Scoop.it has made it effortless to share and re-share articles on social platforms. This ease of sharing has resulted in highly retweeted and shared items, amplifying the reach and impact of curated content. Users have leveraged this feature to disseminate valuable information about specific topics in sectors such as therapy descriptions or conference details in different cities. Another powerful use case for Scoop.it is the ability to create curated collections for specific topics. Users can build collections focused on therapy descriptions, conference details, or even recommendations for things to do in a particular city. By curating these collections, users can provide a centralized hub of information that is easily accessible for themselves or others who share similar interests or objectives. Ultimately, Scoop.it has proven itself as an invaluable tool for content curation, collaboration, knowledge sharing, and thought leadership promotion across various industries, including education, marketing, and professional development. The product's ability to aggregate and filter vast amounts of information saves users time and effort while allowing them to stay informed about industry trends, engage with their audiences more effectively, and establish themselves as experts in their respective fields.

Content Marketing: Several users have found the Content Marketing feature to be extremely beneficial. It enables them to monitor keywords, select the best content, and create unique content items with their own URLs that link back to the original source. This makes it effortless for them to share curated content through their social media channels.

Integration Feature: The integration feature of the platform is highly appreciated by users. They mention that it effectively pulls in content and display items from various sources on the topic page. Additionally, they like how they can easily configure and embed topics into their own website, seamlessly integrating it into their branded platform.

Flexibility and Time-saving: Users find the platform to be flexible and efficient in saving time. One aspect that stands out is the ability to edit everything related to a curated item, including headlines, images, and descriptions while still having the necessary link back to the original source automatically generated. This eliminates the need for creating separate blog items and significantly streamlines workflows.

  1. Limited content filtering options: Some users have expressed frustration with the limited options for filtering and organizing the feed results in Scoop.it. They have mentioned that initially they received irrelevant articles in their feed, which affected their user experience.

  2. High pricing for business version: Several reviewers have found the pricing of the business version of Scoop.it to be expensive, especially for individual writers. They believe that a more affordable option should be available to cater to a wider range of users.

  3. Difficulty in blocking advertisements: Users have reported difficulty in blocking advertisements for products from the suggestions area on Scoop.it. This has been perceived as a time-wasting activity by some customers, impacting their overall satisfaction with the platform.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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
