Take a look at the new Financial Times product, FT Antenna. In its own words: “Antenna is an experiment by the FT. It is powered by tweets from accounts we trust. Only links to websites carefully selected by us can appear.”
Click and see a series of stories (7 when I connected to it Sunday morning). It is curated, and I am surprised that even a story from “rival” Wall Street Journal, appeared.
I believe that this can be successful because the Financial Times commands the respect and credibility that will guarantee that the stories selected to appear there are “must know” type of stories.
Another example of curating, using social media advantageously and enhancing a brand via new products that cater to what we know the audience in a digital age is craving.
I will follow FT Antenna with interest.

“This page is an analysis of how Al Maliki stood alone without any party supporting him for re election in Irak.”
