RE: Upvoting is not curation! So I want to manually solve curation for my own purposes...

in #curation7 years ago

One thing I was going to suggest is using a specific tag, but I noticed you are already using "idea-economy".

The reason I was going to suggest that is because when I posted a few wine articles a little while ago, @thewineman suggested I used the "steempub" hashtag for those posts.

Speaking of him suggesting using that tag, the other thing that could be done is; If you spot an article that is idea economy related? Drop the author a comment suggesting the use of the "idea-economy" tag in the article or any future articles on that topic.

We can then follow "idea-economy" and see all that is being posted relating to the topic.

great suggestion! I think specific tagging campaigns can be helpful. For starting topics it is a drop in the ocean but long term, if we can make a kind of loosely allied writers syndicate it might help a lot.

Yes that's a great point!

It might take a bit longer to get the hashtag going, but if it is supported by people upvoting and/or resteeming good posts using that tag, that will provide incentive.

I agree, when I start curating in a wee or so, I will use a tag that I have already started using for my writings , so that when I introduce it there will already be a stream of post to follow.

I like the idea of a loosely allied writers syndicate or tribe. I had an idea for social tribe once and what I envisioned was people joining that one tribe which was like the umbrella and once they join they align with like minded others in sub groups that is all about what they are about and even though there are different interest divided into groups there ultimate focus and goal is one and the same which is the one goal and focus of that tribe/syndicate.
