What is Scoop.it?
Scoop.it is a cloud-based content management platform that discovers and researches content on social networks and web content. It then selects relevant content and edits according to specified requirements and publishes it on digital platforms including Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Google+. It helps in boosting credibility with readers and builds brand awareness.
Scoop.it creates and shares curated content pages, monitors and shares knowledge with coworkers privately and publishes curated content for the target audience. It leverages curated content in templated newsletters and integrates with SSO, intranet and enterprise network, which helps in creating a private curated content hub.

Scoop.it is a content delivery and marketing platform aimed towards three specific users: Thought-Leaders, Content Marketers, and Knowledge Managers. All three curate content but their purpose varies. Scoop.it comes a complete solution for all types of content curators, enabling them to either: develop personal brand among their professional networks; generate leads, enhance SEO, and create and sustain brand awareness; and to discover and distribute information across organizations.

How is it used?
You start by selecting topics, which will become the “boards” of curated content Scoop.it allows you to create. You create a name for your topic and add some related keywords (these will allow Scoop.it to curate content for you).
You can add content to your boards in any of three different ways:
- Via suggestions provided by Scoop.it
- By “re-scooping” content from others
- Directly “scooping” a link by entering its URL or using the Scoop.it bookmarklet
You can connect your other social networks to easily share your scoops. Connecting your social networks also helps build your community—you’ll be able to see people you’re connected to on other social networks on Scoop.it, then check out their topics to see if they’re scooping content you’d like to follow. You can also use the search feature to find additional topics and users. As with all social networks, building a community and engaging in conversation is an integral part of using Scoop.it effectively.
Additional features (everything from scoop scheduling to team curation to newsletter publishing) are available through paid upgrades.
