- browse others’ finds and save them. saving is like voting a product up – more saves means higher placement on the homepage.
- if people like your taste, they will follow you. more followers + more saves = more visibility for you.”

 

From review on TechCrunch:

“The eCommerce world is starting to warm up to the future of online shopping: Social curation. Call it the “Pinterest-effect” — People are embracing the idea that bookmarking and social sharing slowly are replacing search with regards to product discovery.

Wanelo is a site that allows users to bookmark and share their favorite products via a grid layout and high-res imagery.

 

The startup allows you to follow your Facebook friends in addition to top site users — resulting in a more personalized product feed than that of just celebrity selections. To post an item to Wanelo enter a product URL, tag the item with categories, and add price and other details. Users can browse through Wanelo items by popularity, recency, or by people and stores that they follow.

Site founder Deena Varshavskaya says:

“Pinterest is a great product and it solves the curation problem for images,” Varshavskaya tells me, ”It contains products as well, but that’s not their focus, so users don’t go to Pinterest to shop. They go there to collect things like recipes. Wanelo has nothing but products and users know that, so they come to Wanelo to shop. Users on Wanelo have much more purchase intent”

New Content Curation Tool: RebelMouse

See on Scoop.it – Social Media sites

Excerpted from article on Poynter.:

“The new Web service uses the links and photos you share on Twitter or Facebook to populate a Web page.

 

For an individual journalist, RebelMouse can build a website that harnesses all your social media curation work into a Web product.

 

For a news organization, RebelMouse could also be a tool for aggregation projects. One page could represent all the content your news staff is tweeting. Another one could pull in content from a hashtag for a crowdsourcing project.

 

Visually, RebelMouse looks a lot like Pinterest. Functionally, it is in the same product space as Storify, but different in key ways:

 

- More permanence;

- More automation;

- No embedding, yet.

 

Pricing is extremely affordable — free for basic usage, and if you want to use the site at a custom domain name (instead of rebelmouse.com/username) it’s $3 a month for an individual or $3 a week for a company.”
