      The list of all the topics they've covered makes it really easy to find whatever topic you need practice on.

    This blog is great for learning and brushing up on grammar. It posts a lesson on a different grammar rule every day, with sentences to practice that particular rule. It focuses on a different rule every month. I mostly like that it provides a lot of grammar practice, because it can be really hard to find a lot online.

      The post with rules on the most current events is always at the top, so it's easy to find. It's a little annoying that there is no way to look at archived posts, but I think the blog might be fairly new.

    This is a blog run by editors at Gatehouse Newsroom. The rest of the website has a lot of resources for journalists, but the Editing Words blog is a great resource specifically for editors. They post AP Style rules and tips that pertain to current events, for example, the have a post explaining how to refer to "Obamacare" in stories.

      The tags help with finding their posts on various rules, editing mistakes and news in journalism. I personally think that they did a good job tagging their most popular and helpful subjects.

      They also have their posts organized into categories, which makes it a little easier to find a post if you're looking for a broader topic than one of the tags may cover.

      This is a great way to sort through all of the posts on Facebook and find people that are actually posting about the subject you are curating.

    These are curation tips aimed mostly toward marketers, but I found the advice helpful for news curation too. It lists some of the best ways to narrow down information on social media sites to find posts relevant to the subject you are curating.

      Storyful is a really cool site that works pretty much solely on providing fact checking for journalists and editors. It also gives a lot of advice about making online content.

      Is Twitter Wrong focuses on disproving news and rumors from Twitter. Some of what they fact check isn't very official, but there are several good verifications.
