For some time now, the hot new buzzword for web services has been “curation” — whether it’s Pinterest or Tumblr or Flipboard or News.me, everyone wants to ride the curation wave. But what does it mean, and how do you do it properly? And what makes it different from aggregation?

Blog de François Combes : marketing et communication 2.0 La curation marque-t-elle la fin de l’esprit critique ?

Aujourd’hui je ne vais pas vous livrer un article au sens classique du thème mais tenter de lancer un débat avec vous. N’hésitez donc pas à commenter cet article et à me donner votre point de vue ! DEBAT : la curation marque-t-elle la fin de l’esprit critique ? Une petite définition préalable : la curation « consiste à collectionner, agencer et partager les contenus les plus intéressants (textes, images, vidéos, etc.) autour d’un même thème » (source : Journal du net ) Tout ce que je vais dire ici n’est en aucun cas une critique envers des personnes mais simplement mon ressenti sur l’utilisation d’un service.

Matt Langer · Stop Calling it Curation

Stop Calling it Curation Imagine, if you will, a world in which Richard Seaver or Robert Gottlieb had stomped their feet and huffed and puffed every time John Leonard forgot to give them their proper “↬”. Or rather, as I joked on Twitter over the weekend about the new “ Curator’s Code ,” if Goethe had lived long enough to chide Mann for writing about Faust and giving a “ᔥ” to Marlowe but forgetting to give a “↬” to Goethe.

Content curation: A required skill for digital-era communicators | New Media | Blog | Holtz Communications + Technology

Posted on October 6, 2010 9:35 am | New Media | PR | Research | Social Media Over the years, I have chatted with people who work for museums. There’s Michael Edson, for example, whom I’ve interviewed twice for my podcast based on his work with the Smithsonian Institution. I’ve also met several museum communicators. These interactions have given me some introductory insight into the job of a curator.

The Secret, Selfish Side Of Social-Curation Sites | Fast Company

Here’s my beef with social platforms today: I don’t think they’re very social at all. As much as Google+, Facebook, and Pinterest promise a way to connect, they’ve also promoted a disconnect--sharing on different platforms, proving a fragmented sense of keeping tabs on any social network. We can track our connections’ job promotions on LinkedIn, photos from their new office on Facebook, and hear their celebratory music on Spotify--but what about how these all link together? And what about the platforms themselves? Unfortunately, competition currently drives their existence.

I attended a Betaworks brown bag talk yesterday, which featured Megan McCarthy of Techmeme. She was basically explaining her workflow as the editor of Mediagazer and Techmeme, and how she ‘augments’ the algorithm that does most of the heavy lifting there. A lot of questions ensued: people wanted to know how it worked, what she saw on her editorial dashboard, when would she step in (to pull in new stories that are important but too young to have gained much attention, picking a better story as the top of a pile-up, and so on), how many times a day did she intercede and so on. I asked her if they had considered making the curatorial gestures publicly visible, so we could see their activities. She wondered ‘Why would anyone want to know that?’ To which I answered, ‘I want to know everything’, semi-facetiously.

Thanks to Tom Foremski and Oliver Starr for inviting me to share my thoughts on curation at last night’s salon, and to the group for a lively discussion. This article is an expansion on the bullet points in my remarks. There is a prior post- What is Curation? - that attempts to professionalize and put some limits around the use of the word, which may be needed- lest I seriously think that I’m curating my garage next time I clean it out.- CMM

Curators steal, get over it. There’s a bigger problem. at Alex Kessinger

Curators have a problem; we steal content. I know we don’t like to put it that way. It’s always nicer to think that we point people in the right place, or we frame content in a new light, but at the end of the day we don’t create anything that could be considered a primary source.While it’s not evil, or harmful it leads us to the biggest problem with curation, and content in general in the coming future: who’s going to create the content. Who is going to create the content that I am going to curate.

billet d'humeur : la curation (curage, fuyons !) | Archimag

Curation, curator, ces drôles de termes se rencontrent fréquemment sur la Toile depuis quelques temps, ne faisant l'unanimité qu'autour de leur laideur sémantique - qui n'est pas sans rappeller l'utilisation du mot curiste pour désigner un fan ébouriffé de Robert Smith. Après de simples liens envoyés par mail, puis leur éditorialisation via Twitter, la curation suit une évolution logique dans la diffusion du web : l'appropriation croissante de contenus dont on a pas la paternité. Autrement dit, toujours plus de mise en scène, encore davantage de mise en forme, sans cesse moins de création. Mais - sans vouloir faire d'anticléricalisme primaire - que cure-t-on ?

C’est le nouveau buzzword. Celui dont tout le monde parlera dans 6 mois, à côté de ses frères « personnal branding » ou « social media ». Derrière ces mots se cachent évidemment des réalités, et parler de « personnal branding » ou de curation, ce ne sont pas, justement, que des buzzwords. D’ailleurs, si vous souhaitez en savoir plus sur le concept de curator/curation, je vous renvoie vers l’ami Arnaud Briand . Mais là encore, pour la curation, on suit le même schéma que pour les deux autres (qui ne sont que des exemples) : on a un concept, qui est le fruit de l’observation d’un tendance, et on a quelques outils. Mais les outils aujourd’hui sont encore très jeunes, et n’embarquent pas une fonction qui me paraît essentielle.

La curation, c’est bien, mais… | Simon Robic

A lively conversation over the weekend - of course on Twitter - between two informed protagonists highlighted an issue previously discussed here . The debaters were Neal Mann, @fieldproducer , a sharp and savvy Sky journalist who mixes old-school cunning with new media nous, and Andy Carvin, @acarvin , National Public Radio's social media strategist and arguably the doyen of new media journalism. They take different approaches to social media which is apparent in their conversation - predictably, perhaps, as a result of their differing editorial backgrounds. Mann uses social media as a source to inform his mainstream media journalism; Carvin, at least in the case of the latest run of stories from the Arab world, has focused his journalism on and from social media platforms - curating a fascinating stream of tweets from Tunisia, Egypt and Libya.
