Hello, my name is Dawn and I’d like to curate your content

I’ve been working on a new project with Allison Worthington that officially launched this week, called BlissReads. BlissReads is a network of sites where a group of women curators (the BlissChicks!) curate quality content from around the web. I curate for two sites, BlissReads Photography and BlissReads Technology.

What, you may be asking, is content curation?

Content curation is gathering, organizing, making sense of, and sharing content. Think of a museum curator who gathers artifacts from all over the world and carefully puts them on display. A content curator finds the best content and displays it beautifully. Content curation works to promote quality content and the creators of that content.

That’s a partial definition from the BlissReads FAQs. In a nutshell, we find great stuff on the web and feature excerpts, adding our own commentary. Comments are closed on the BlissReads sites and all posts link back to the original source, directing the reader there.

Here’s a video overview put together by Amy, a fellow curator:
