My friend Scott turned me on to a new service called Scoop.It. With Scoop.It, one can create a topic area and become a curator of web content having to do with that topic. Scoop.It provides the search engine and literally scans millions of pages per second to suggest content for your topic(s).
I am interested in lots of things: decision analysis, motorcycles, travel, beer, philosophy, etc. It occurred to me that I can curate my own relevant blog posts, and I can blog about articles I find and curate. I think the synergy between social networks, my own writing, and my research will be good.
Scoop.It's in beta testing right now. I applied for a token offered this blog as my bona fides. They set me up with an account and I created the following topics. Below are the announcements I sent to Facebook, LinkedIn, or Twitter as appropriate. Please check them out and feel free to suggest content.
Keywords: metaphysics of quality, decision analysis, applied management, value-focused thinking, lean six sigma
Note: the image is a 2008 Road King just like mine, and the slogan on the poster was my winning entry in a Harley-Davidson poster contest.
Keywords: Harley-Davidson Road King, Epic Motorcycle Journey, Hoka Hey, Iron Butt, FLHR
I am curating a new site on Scoop.it called The Quest for Brewed Nirvana. I'm into craft-brewed beer. For me, hunting new and unusual beers is a fun way to learn about the variety of brewing styles, ingredients, and techniques around the world. Beer is a great social lubricant, with the power to open doors and tear down walls. One day I shall drain the grail and sing, "Ohhh, sweet mystery of life, I've found you!"
In search of imbibable bliss
Keywords: DC Beer, VA Beer, MD Beer, DE Beer, craft beer, beer wars, beer travels, world beer cup, great american beer festival, CAMRA
I am curating a new site on Scoop.it called Technicolor Omphaloskepsis. It's about combining philosophy and special effects to produce a life others would find worth watching.
Get the values right, or the numbers don't matter!
Surveying the kingdom astride our steel horses
