MyCurator Delivers Vibrant Content for your Site

Struggling to find time to create content? Start with what you do
already, reviewing articles in your industry or niche! MyCurator
will deliver them to your WordPress site where you can easily review
them.

Our Machine Learning Relevance engine lets you train MyCurator with
a simple up or down vote on an article. After just a few articles
MyCurator will classify the good articles – weeding out 90% or more
of the junk and spam articles, saving a huge amount of time.

With one click curate the article into your WordPress Editor
with an excerpt, image and attribution ready to go. Just add a
paragraph to tell your readers about the article and you’ve created
content for your site!

What is Content Curation? Click Here to Find Out.

MyCurator allows you to curate content for a Topic (equivalent to
WordPress Categories) for free, but you will have to obtain an API
Key to access the cloud services. For those who need to curate a
lot of different topics or for multiple sites, low priced monthly
plans are available – always with a free 30 day trial.

Go to Our Site to get your API Key after you install the software.

MyCurator is really a great plugin, easy to use and nice customisation. But the plugin will be greater if it has these features: 1. Option to set full article text or excerpt for each topic category. 2. Option to customize the attribution text and either to include or exclude attribution link for each topic category. 3. Option for word spinner or word AI that can replace the article text synonymously for each topic category.

We are an advisory / research firm, and we're all about content. We create our own content, but we also aggregate interesting content from others. Over the last 12 months, we've tested three different content searching / capture / aggregation engines. The first one was very expensive and took a long time to configure. And even when we got it working, it still took a long time to finalize and post each item. The second system was not only costly, but also confusing. We had to configure the search terms and sources via a web UI, and changes took 24 - 48 hours to go live. It took us weeks to configure the system, and even then it didn't find the content we needed. And then we found MyCurator. Installation took 3 minutes. Configuration took 10 minutes. And content started coming in just a few minutes later. MyCurator is low cost, light weight, and works well. A few days later, we had an idea for a new function we wanted to implement. We sent an email to Mark (the plug-in's creator), and just a few minutes later we had the answer. My advice --- before spending big money on a curation engine, try MyCurator. I only wish we had started there in the first place.

It is a fantastic plugin and has very nice features which can help in finding the quality content via RSS feeds, Google Alerts, twitter and has many other features. Highly recommended!

This powerful plugin is well designed (very ergonomic) and enables you to boost your blog in a way never known before! Also, Mark is able to take your remarks into account and provide answers with an impressive velocity and in a very simple way. My 5 stars, both to the plugin and its author!

It creates clean posts and the import is accurate. After fine tuning the topic keywords, it does a great job of filtering and displaying just the posts you want. Once you use it for a while, you see that it is more powerful than it originally seems.
