Examples of Great Content Curators
I am frequently asked if there are good examples of great content curators out there.
There are probably tens of thousands of them. But the problem is that it is not easy to spot them. They are not as visible and popular as your typical social media influencer.
Great content curators may not have a following nearly comparable to those of many social media influencers, but their impact can easily be much greater, deeper and longer lasting.
The List
The list that follows brings together only a very small sample of the many great content curators out there.
These listed here, are the ones I know.
They are not copied from another article, Wikipedia page or blog. These are the ones I know and would list as great content curators.
But remember: there are, many, many more, who I am forgetting about, or who I haven’t discovered yet, or who cover topics that do not interest me.
In fact, one great thing you could do, if you do know other great content curators, is to suggest through the comments area at the end of this article, their names, curation site and Twitter handle, just like I did here.
I have divided my list in two parts: the first one devoted to what I would define broad-spectrum content curators. These are curators who cover just about any topic out there. They are super-generalists though they may have some specific interest or literary passion.
The second group includes instead curators who cover one or more specific subject areas which I list right below their names.
