Scoop.it is a beta (currently invite only) website that lets you become ”the curator of your favorite topic!”


What does it do?

You create a topic. Scoop.it searches the web (including social media) for related news articles, blog posts, tweets, YouTube videos, etc. which you can then build–or curate–into an online collection of sources.

Our Founder

Dr. Jennifer T. Edwards is the person behind the Texas Social Media Research Institute at Tarleton State University. Her desire to be involved with the campus and its students led to the creation of TSMRI.

Dr. Edwards was inspired to form TSMRI after using social media for almost 15 years in her personal and professional life. Dr. Edwards said she, “decided to explore social media from a research standpoint slightly over three years ago. As I sought to discover Texas-based research focused on social media, I realized that Texas did not have a research center dedicated to social media research. After speaking with several faculty, staff, and students about this opportunity, collectively we decided that Tarleton should function as one of the first Texas-based hubs for social media research and training.”
