"Scoop.it serves as the center of my social media universe"
5/5
What do you like best about Scoop.it?

The brilliance and comprehensiveness of the overall organization of Scoop.it impresses me greatly. Users can use the service for a very limited specific purpose (e.g.as a content feed on a single topic) or as a sophisticated marketing tool (e.g. using the analytics to differentiate popular from little read content). Scoop.it publishers can also use the service very much like a blog by commenting as briefly or at length as they wish.

Scoop.it's wide range of functionality therefore offers users great customization in terms of layout and utility as well as appearance (e.g. users have free reign to include any single image they wish). The search functions in Scoop.it help to make it a source of further information for publishers and readers alike. As Scoop.it matures in coming years, this capability to serve as a repository of curated articles on a huge variety of topics will add considerably to its value.

I link my Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Linked In accounts to Scoop.it so that everything I publish on it also is published on the other linked services. This enables the number of my followers to grow not only on Scoop.it, but also on the additional services a well. Finally, Scoop.it offers a number of ways to have content be pushed to you, the publisher, saving considerable time and effort in finding good material to scoop onto your topic page.

I find Scoop.it to be the best platform for the distribution of curated information as well as a terrific way to set up personalized information scans and have them fed to you. It is relatively easy to learn and quite efficient to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scoop.it?

While Scoop.it possesses a tremendous variety of excellent capabilities, it does take some time to learn how to use them and determine how they can best serve the purposes of one's organization. Improved tutorials for new users and better tips for more advanced users would be quite helpful

Scoop.it has very recently refreshed its user interface, making the service much more attractive visually and streamlined operationally. Additional significant improvements are rumored to be forthcoming very soon.

My one wish is that hotlinks contained in scooped material would remain live when published in individual scoops. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Scoop.it Education: for students, teachers and researchers in medical field"
5/5
What do you like best about Scoop.it?

Suggestions everyday allows to mine information appearing and available from tne internet, artciles in published specialty journals, or open access, on PubMed, patents, press relases from universities or drug companies advertising newly published documents.

Comments can be added by curators and readers can comment, react and further disseminate.

You can also publish your own scoops and scoop Slideshare PPTs.

It is not another social networking.

Scoop.it education allows to create a network of specialists curating together

It should help creating large communities of interest.

A large variety of topics can be opened.

It allows to create specific databases which can be helpful for individual researchers, for instance PhD students, and obviously teachers and students? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scoop.it?

The search engine could be improved to focus the research to a few topics or subtopics, classify the results according to dates, and eliminate doublets.

Tagging posts is an option, but obviously time consuming.

Too many people opened topics but are not regularly active, decreasing the validity of the information curated.

Scoop.it is not yet enough recognized as a very smart tool of content curation in the scientific community! Followers of topics should be more numerous Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Scoopit Rocks"
5/5
What do you like best about Scoop.it?

Scoop.it has the fastest social feedback loops in the west. Testing content is one of the reasons I use Scoop.it. Learning from the amazing curators in Scoop.it's community is another 10 for this low investment, high return tool. Every aspect of our content marketing depends on Scoop.it. We test things that may or may not make it to our blogs. We expand the winners and leave the losers (lol). The immediacy of the feedback makes Scoop.it invaluable for content marketers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scoop.it?

Wish I had more control over what was displayed on my "master blaster" page. The "Master Blaster" page is the "cover" of my 15 Scoop.it feeds. I've tried to theme the "magazine" and find it difficult because I don't set the sort order. Also, wish fans could join all 15 feeds with a single button (right now they must follow each individually). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Love this platform!"
5/5
What do you like best about Scoop.it?

Scoop.it is the best curation tool out there that I've found. Why? Because it is a true curation tool, allowing me to both hand pick and review the articles I bring into my collection. This means I bring added value to my readers, and is one of my best ways to build thought expertise, a following, visibility, recognition, and to grow my business. Followers can comment, re-scoop what I have selected, all of which builds community. The platform is easy to use and professional in design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scoop.it?

The search tool could be better. I'd also like refinements in its analytic tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
