Scoop.it provides social curation tools that let users build topic pages where they aggregate and share relevant content, which the company has described as "your own digital magazine." Pages are viewable on Scoop.it, shareable on social networks, and SEO-optimized, and other users can follow those topic pages. The company has launched an iPhone app and today introduced an iPad app that can function as a standalone experience without prior web registration. The iPad app surfaces personalized recommendations, supports searching and browsing topics, and makes it easy to save articles to existing or new topic pages with edits reflected on the web. Scoop.it contrasts topic-based following with following people to improve signal-to-noise and can embed Storify stories on its pages. The company recently raised $2.6 million in new funding and says users have indexed and shared more than 50 million pieces of content. Scoop.it provides a tool that lets people gather and distribute content from around the web into magazine-style topic pages using a search algorithm combined with human curation. The company is launching publicly after a year in an invite-only beta and is led by co-founder and CEO Guillaume Decugis. Scoop.it emphasizes its algorithm for finding relevant articles and videos while relying on human editors to create higher-quality, sticky topic pages. It reports more than 2 million visits per month and traffic is growing about 35 percent month-over-month. Scoop.it has received $10 million in funding from Partech International, Orkos, Elaia and IRDI. The company is beginning to experiment with a premium model that will let businesses embed branded topic pages and subscribe to an analytics tool for a monthly fee.
