Content Curation with Twitter and MyTweetmag
We have seen a lot of new features at twitter in recent time: There where some offsite-features like the web-intent-buttons, that we have implemented on mytweetmag, too. Or the new follow-button. And there have been some onsite-features like twitters own url-shortener t.co (long awaited) or the ability to read a followers stream.

Berlin – August 18, 2011 – The German plattform MyTweetMag (http://www.mytweetmag.com) announced its official relaunch. MyTweetMag is a twitter-based web-plattform that presents the links of one or more twitter-users in a brand new blog-design. Users can invite co-editors and create collaborative magazines about a specific topic. With different skins, a stage-upload and individual content-areas the service focuses on the individualization of the curation-magazines.

If you run a startup and a wordpress-blog, you can read this little tutorial here that helps you to create your own newsroom. It’s easy, just try it…

Do you go to facebook or google+ to find the latest information about a specific topic? I don’t do that. I go there to share stuff, to socialize and to discuss. And if I take a closer look at the logic of these networks, than sending straight information about a specific topic isn’t the best way to gain attention there, right? From all big networks Twitter is still the plattform that deals most with information. But in the first line, I use old-fashioned rss feeds from blogs and media (aggregated via netvibes) to stay updated about topics I am interested in.

Currently we are facing a massive growth of curation tools, that are getting better and better. While my personal favourites are still the pioneer of social aggregation tweetedtimes (I think quite everything started with it) and the curation tool scoop.it, there are a lot of tools in stealth-mode which look promising:

Update: the code from socialditto to embed tweets in their original design doesn’t work with newer version of wordpress. I recommend the plugin twitter blackbird pie. This plugin has also been integrated as a core functionality of wordpress.com.

Without much public noise we released some fancy new features, that make MyTweetMag a bit more social and involving. Here are the main features, that we added with the last release:
After my first impressions from the re:publica in 2010 I joined this quite big blogger- and digital-event the second time in 2011. As I moved from Hamburg to Berlin three month ago the event took place literally in my neighborhood (well, at the Friedrichstadt-Palast, about 10 minutes by bike).
