Lasso is an online service that allows you to simply curation content in a group or team. It allows you to select, edit and share to several web content on a given topic.
This site is well named. Like a cowboy riding on the immense plains of the web, you will be able to catch and save sites, interesting articles and then share them easily.
Ideal for multi-content curation
The real added value of this tool is that this content curation will be able to be done by several people. Ideal for pooling research between colleagues or even offering research work to a group of students.
Lasso allows you to organise your personal content curation and share some of it with others. A complete tool. Once registered on the site you will be able to create collections or store your sites and web pages that you want to keep. Each collection you create on a theme, or a project for example, maybe public or private. It can be powered alone or by several.
A complete curation tool that is easy to use
The use is simple. This new content curation tool takes care of itself in seconds. Lasso provides an extension for your favorite web browser. (Extension or dropplet depending on the browser) Once in place, one click will be enough to keep the article you are viewing and classify it in one of your collections.
You go before that fill in the sheet of the resource set aside. A title, a description, tags, a location. Elements that will then allow you to better find it.
Lasso also offers a good search engine This will allow you to quickly find a conserved resource.
Lasso offers different types of display for the result of your content curation: sheets, list, etc. Each resource or collection can be shared by email or on social networks.
If Lasso does not revolutionise the kind ofContent curation tools, proposing a way to perform a multi-curation is a real plus. Gathering resources as a team, ideas become very easy. An email notification system will inform you every day of new resources added to your collections.
Lasso is offered (unfortunately) only in English, but really nothing insurmountable. The tool is completely free for groups of up to five crew members.
