Step 6: Using Curation Tools (lV)

 Nuzzel
Nuzzel is a “news monitoring and research tool”. If you are on Twitter or Facebook you might have found that it can be serendipitous in nature. You sometimes just” see what you see “and there are no guarantees that you will not miss the most interesting or important stories. When you sign up for a free Nuzzel  account you can get a curated email sent to you daily with the top stories from the people you follow. This is really handy to stay abreast of important stories.
Pocket
Sometimes you are browsing the web or social media and you come across an interesting article, video or link. You would like to read it but you might be short on time. This is where Pocket comes in. You put that item ‘ in your Pocket ‘ for later. You can save directly from your browser or from apps like Twitter, Feedly or Flipboard. You can view it again when you are ready— from your computer, tablet or phone. You can even view the item when you are offline.
Diigo
Diigo is a free social bookmarking tool that allows users to share online resources like websites, articles and online tools in a private or public group format. The benefit of using a social bookmarking tool is it allows you to organize and store your bookmarks online rather than in the browser of your computer. This means you can log into your account, on any device, at any time, and easily find your bookmarks.Diigo free social bookmarking
