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.
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.
