Let’s face it, we’re drowning in data. Our inboxes are flooded with spam, we have too many “friends” on Facebook, and our Twitter accounts have become downright unmanageable.

It’s called curation, and it enables people to sort through the digital excess and find what’s relevant. In Curation Nation , Steven Rosenbaum reveals why brands, publishers, and content entrepreneurs must embrace aggregation and curation to grow an existing business or launch a new one.

Meet the curators | The Economist
At one level, this comment just looks silly. The page at the Atlantic that it links to, which is a list of useful resources for following the Japan earthquake, doesn't "cover" the news. The sources it links to do that. If nobody wrote "here's what happened", nobody would be able to say "here's how to follow the story". But the serious point is that "aggregation" or "curation" of other people's coverage is becoming recognised more and more as one of the indispensable elements of journalism.
