Our primary beliefs and values include giving our readers quality material, disseminating information to encourage informed thinking, and supporting policies and ideas. We frequently curate or extract content from reliable online sources in order to uphold those ideals.
One of the basic, fundamental ideas behind the Internet is the foundation of sharing, linking, and recommending quality material from other websites. Link individuals and information. By curating information, we are able to present our readers with high-quality, well-written, and relevant content while always citing and crediting the original source when content is curated.
We are endorsing material by selecting it from websites other than our own. This not only entails that we quote from such content, but that by doing so, we heartily endorse it, and by always including a source link to the original content, we actively encourage our visitors to visit these third-party sites.
Our objective is to make sure that the amount and quality of our original content outweigh any information that is taken verbatim from a different website.
In order to expose our readers to the best content on other websites, our curation is made to direct visitors to third-party websites.
We did so because we thought your article was exceptional in some way.
Contact Us to ask that your quote be removed if you do not want us to curate content from your website. We reserve the right to examine each request and take the proper action in accordance with copyright regulations and guidelines. When appropriate, we reserve the right to utilize content in accordance with the “Fair Use” exceptions.
We have discovered that almost all content producers and publishers are overjoyed to gain more exposure and readers as a result of links from our website.
Curation Policy:
Most web publishers understand how valuable it is to have their stories and articles published.:
- quoted
- commented on
- debated
- discussed
- linked to
- have new readers exposed to their articles
We want our viewers to find your content online and to visit your website. We want you to be overjoyed that we used some of your content in a quotation, citation, or other forms. We take great pleasure in collaborating with hundreds of publishers and content creators.
Online “Fair Use” policies, procedures, and legal judgments are continuously developing. Making our standards higher than the strictly legal notion of Fair Use is one of the guiding principles for the creation of this website. Compared to “Fair Use,” our standards are higher, and we uphold them.
In the same manner that we expect others would curate our content, we extract your content.
Please feel free to quote any content from our website. Please include a source link back to our page when you quote from one of our articles, no matter how much or how little you do so. All we ask is that!
Use as much of our writing as you believe your readers will find interesting. Simply include a link, give us credit, and invite readers to visit our original website.
- What we do is that.
- The internet was created in this way.
- Social sharing is all about doing that.
- When shared content is done in accordance with this guideline, everyone wins.
Most Significantly…
Online standards for sharing, curating, and excerpting are constantly developing. It’s possible that our standards don’t match yours.
On our website, we also post user-generated content. We ask that our users abide by these curation standards, but we are unable to review every single submission. In a similar vein, we are unable to and do not review all of the reader comments left on our website.
