Top Haiku Decks
Haiku Deck is an easy to use cool tool perfectly timed for the visual marketing revolution we find ourselves within. We've created more than 30 Decks, but 11 stand out.


They stand out because they've been viewed more than 101,000 times, have almost 1,000 social shares and are the kind of easy to create content curation helping to define the lean content movement so dear to our friends at Scoop.it (another great lean content / visual marketing tool).

Scoop.it AND Paper.li More Powerful Together Than Either Alone

Scoop.it AND Paper.li More Powerful Together Than Either Alone | BI Revolution | Scoop.it
From plus.google.com - May 7, 2013 7:17 PM
Why is Scoop It Kicking Paper Li's Rear End?

Isn't it the same concept? You create your own online newspaper. Why is Scoop It generating so much more…
Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

Paper.li + Scoopit Better Then Either Alone
This link is to a thread on Google Plus, but it represents a dangerous way of thinking about Internet marketing. There is an active thread about @Scoopit vs. Paper.li in an either or way.

I don't believe in "either or" much. As an Internet marketer I believe in "X and Y" especially when both X and Y provide different benefits. Here is what I just wrote on Google Plus:

"I like the hands on nature of Scoop.it and the hands off nature of Paper.li. Paper.li's model is constructed off of existing followers. Every now and again I tune my Paper.li. I do this by adding and subtracting feeds. I watch the changes for a few days to see if I have the mix I want and then let it play.

Paper.li is HIGHLY DYNAMIC so how I mix my feed salad today is no guarantee of anything tomorrow. At a macro level feeds tend to wobble in the same general space, so there is some predictability about the content mix...some.

I also use the manual Paper.li tool when I want to build specific content into my paper. Paper.li's efficiency has to be greater than Scoop.it due to the feeds, but that efficiency also means the tuning sensitivity isn't as high as a curator's ability to manually curates a Scoop.it magazine.

I know I am more powerful content marketer and curator because I use both Scoop.it and Paper.li. I also know my friends at Small Rivers and Paper.li well enough to know they are working on cool new things as I write this."

Anything I can use to create engagement and advantage needs to be used and these tools compliment each other so much there is no doubt any Internet marketers creations or curation is made stronger by using them in concert with one another.

This conversation keeps getter better. Here is the latest question and my answer:

+Kia Slade No, Kia I like Storify for pasting together blog-like stories. When I use Storify I tell more stories. When I use +Scoop.it I curate content and +Paper.li I curate feeds into a coherent self sustaining "daily".

Best way to get a sense of the difference is to look at how differently I use all three:

Scoopit

Newest to Storify so haven't gotten my mind around its UI yet, but it beckons a diary-like storytelling format supplemented with strong visuals and links kind of like a Delicious on steroids.

Hope these examples help. All GREAT tools with real curation and creation power. Marty

Kelly Hungerford's comment, June 13, 2013 4:30 AM
Dolly,thanks for your comment. Indeed for someone who truly want so collect and add commentary, scoop.it is the service. And I would even go as far as to say to tell as story, then Storify.

Cool video but MUTE it before you play it (horrible music) and don't be doing three things at once since great stats fly by fast.

DISRUPTION: Why Google+ Is Best Social Net for Content Marketers

DISRUPTION: Why Google+ Is Best Social Net for Content Marketers | BI Revolution | Scoop.it

Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

AGREE - Google Plus Disrupts
I was in a conference the other day and people actually chuckled when Google plus was mentioned, they laughed. "Perfect," I remember thinking; "no one gets it yet time to double down on Google Plus". You don't make millions online by doing things the way others are doing them. 

You make money by being remarkable, distinct and disruptive. Money is simply the currency we use to keep score. You can't make money online by setting out to make money (irony). Authentic honesty is the table stakes of online poker. 

Insincere disruption or disruptions not supported by social signals don't last long. Once you know the story you want to tell, I would tell it on Google Plus. Don't forsake the other social nets, just use G+ as your main horse, the one you ride the most and the one who gets the best oats. 

Why? More than just G+ comes from Google; Google Plus is less crowded (at the moment) and less defined. "Less defined" means common groupthink and best practices are less established. Since Google Plus is a suite of tools with many possible combinations it may stay "less defined" for a long time. 

The way you combine and use the suite of tools that make up G+ may be very different than the next user (and this is what you want). It is easier to use a suite of tools to disrupt than a platform. Platforms such as Facebook and Twitter have their own very defined structure, a structure largely controlled by someone else. 

Tools Rule
Google Plus is not perfect (by a long shot). Many of its elements and tools are counter-intuitive and infuriating (at first). Hang in there and keep creating, combining and re-combining and you will like the end result (eventually). 

Google Plus is more conducive to long form content and conversations too. Don't just repost. Make sure you add some original value even if the piece started somewhere else. Can't have conversations on Twitter and Facebook friends want to hear about your children and trips. G+ is where I go to have meaningful conversations about Internet marketing.

The environment can turn contentious on strange things, but adopt the attitude that all feedback is GOOD, praise and listen and your ideas will get BETTER on G+. How disruptive is that?

 Conversation continues on G+: https://plus.google.com/u/0/102639884404823294558/posts/HhimtJ7CPg9
