But how do you harness the best content and use it to engage the larger user base? How can useful news and information be created -- or curated -- from these communities?

Today we'll discuss how social networks are evolving their content strategies with Jessica Bennett, editorial director at Tumblr, and Daniel Roth, executive editor at LinkedIn, in a live Q&A on Google+. Tune in at 3 p.m. ET by viewing the video above.
