In this 22-minute episode Robert Bruce and I discuss:
- What makes curated content shareable and linkable
- The best audience building strategy on the planet
- How to borrow (and delight) a massive audience
- How to get others to share your curated content
- Why infographics are pure media curation
- How to take advantage of visual microcontent
- The true value of iTunes for audience building
- The podcast interview as valuable curation content
- The viral catalyst the exploded Copyblogger in the early days
