One of the good content curation and content aggregation tools I have used is Scoop.it. As the post mentions it "is a social media curation tool that allows you to create a topic & “scoop” material from anywhere the web".
It had been challenging to use across mobile devices, I found it best to use it on PC as the "bookmark" widget is easily accessible and implement. It was a resource that was used to aggregate content on a particular topic and one of the benefits that I saw was that users who viewed the content could choose to comment on the shared content and like Facebook "like" or "share" your post.
In terms of limitations, you can freely post on up to 2 topics of your choice, (it used to be 5 topics freely available) but with institutional or private paid access, you get access to post on more topics.
In terms of research, this tool may be useful to collate, curate on research topic areas and collaborate thoughts on such current awareness.
Interesting! I subscribe to a couple of people through scoop.it and always like the *extra* stuff I pick up through this way, as opposed to following feeds through feedly...options options!
