SASM 035 – Scoop.it Review and Topic-Centric Curation with CEO Guillaume Decugis

It's true.

Almost nobody loves curating as much as I do.

But you may fall deeply in love with curation if you viewed it like I do (and like this episode's guest does).

We've come a long way from traditional curating environments like libraries and museums. Today, curating looks like Evernote, Pinterest, spreadsheets, Goodreads, a commonplace book and … Scoop.it.

This episode is about curation in general. But it's really an almost real-time Scoop.it review – with specifics up the wazoo – alongside their CEO, Guillaume Decugis.

Guillaume knows how to fail hard, and he knows how to succeed wildly. He previously sold a business for over $100 million, and his current baby – Scoop.it – gets more hits than Ted Williams in the 1940s.

But like me, Guillaume is more than just a fella that knows about curating. He has the historical context, the technology savvy, and relationship capital to develop a platform that lets anyone become an expert on any topic.

His path is not the typical one toward business simplicity. That's why I know you'll enjoy his story and what he's up to with Scoop.it.

Note: I also mention something called “The Curator's Edge” at the end of this episode. It's something I've never talked about before, and I need your insight on it. So enjoy the show and try out my new Speakpipe voice mail service that I describe in the episode.

I sure as heck can't wait to hear from you!
