Twitter launches Curator tool for collecting tweets in a post

When Twitter launched Moments, it talked briefly about its launch partners and how eventually anyone would be able to build their own moments. Until that happens, Twitter is launching an ecosystem using the same tools used by Moments to help publishers, developers and really anyone who's wanted to put together a collection of tweets for a post, Engadget reports.

Using Tweetdeck or the newly launched Curator tool, people can find tweets they would like to build into a story. The Curator tool also includes 20 different filters to help find relevant tweets and put those updates in whatever order you want. Then you can drop the URL or collection ID of your tweet compilation into publish.twitter.com for an embed code. Drop that code into any site and you're good to go.

Twitter has also introduced a grid layout for image and video-heavy stories. These compilations are also editable on the fly. If you build a collection and realize you need to add or remove a tweet, the ecosystem dynamically refreshes all the instances of the story no matter where you've put it.

But, Twitter's not the only company with a new curation toolset, it's also partnered with Spredfast, DataMinr, ScribbleLive, Wayin, and Flowics to help them build out their own versions of the feature. Plus if you start work in one tool, you can switch to another and continue building an embeddable collection.
