Hunger Games Lessons: "The Hanging Tree" is Not a Dance Song

Call me crazy, but I'm not going to dance to "The Hanging Tree" song. James Newton Howard's "Rebel Remix" of Jennifer Lawrence's rendition of "The Hanging Tree" (written by Suzanne Collins and published in Mockingjay in 2010) seems inappropriate.

Content Curation: The Art of a Curated Post [Infographic]

For content marketers that are looking to increase content production and save time, content curation is the answer.

Yes, and......Curating Vs. Stealing
