SmartBrief, a news feed for travel aggregators
Posted: August 25, 2012 Contents: Chapter 6 | Tags: aggregation, asta, smartbrief, travel aggregators, travel blog, travel journalism, travel writing 1 Comment »Aggregation, or “curation” as some bloggers prefer it, is the practice of blogging about content created by others.
Most aggregators set up feeds that push content to them. SmartBrief is a daily e-newsletter that pushes content about 25 key industries — including travel. Ten travel-related associations have signed on as partners with SmartBrief to add its advertising messages to the content SmartBrief aggregates and email to subscribers. It’s free, current and useful.
I subscribe to the ASTA-partnered feed and find at least one thing of value daily.
