Week6 Learnist vs. Scoop.it!

I might be wrong, but I think that Learnist and Scoop.it are really really similar to each other.

1. Main page
 
Scoop.it's main page shows feeds I am following

Learnist's main page shows feeds I am following

2. Quantity of contents
 "Topic"page shows "165" related pages.

 
But, Learnist shows "10" related pages.

When I search "mobile learning" as a keyword, I can see that the quantity of the results are different.
Definitely Scoop.it has larger database.

3. Why Scoop.it is better than Learnist.
 Obviously, I can say that Scoop.it is better than Learnist.
Scoop.it provides "Users" page when you enter any keywords.
This is awesome. You can find people who have same interests as you!!
This feature is really really helpful for you to establish your personal learning network.

    I like your comparison run-down. I joined both sites over the weeks and really liked both. Not sure if I recognized the similarities. Thanks!

    Hey Taehyeong,

    I agree, Scoop.it has a much better UI than Learnist. I did not like either much myself, too distracting, but they can be valuable tools for some individuals.

      Hi Ben,
      I keep trying to be accustomed in the UI of Scoop.it..
      Still a little bit distracting to me, too.

    Thanks Taehyeong for the comparison of these sites. I have signed up for Learnist a few weeks ago and have been exploring it but I haven't yet had the opportunity to try Scoop It, but will do so very soon.
