Content Curation: Truths, Threats, Motivations and Opportunities
This is a cross-post from Altimeter Group Researcher Jaimy Szymanski’s blog . Follow her on Twitter here. Curation is taking over the digital content scene.Curation - Introduction - Notion
I hope to introduce a variety of curating tools to classes and individual students this year. While this is an exciting way for learners to discover how to manage their information worlds, not everyone actually needs or wants to curate every single time they begin research. Students and teachers can exploit the curation efforts already out there. In fact, the new curation tools present an exciting new genre of search tool, a tool for scanning the real-time environment, as well as opportunities for evaluating quality and relevance in emerging information landscapes.

CTAM EuroSummit ’11. The curation of content is needed if audiences are to be able to cut through the noise of social media, according to the futurologist Gerd Leonhard. In a presentation at the annual cable marketing conference, held this year in Malta, Leonhard said that the current actions of the geeks would be a global standard within five years. “It’s not about a million channels, we have a million channels, and it’s about what you want to watch.” Leonhard claimed that Twitter was already replacing CNN as a global news source.

‘Curation Nation’ & ‘Mediactive’: A new era in media
W hat’s this? Even in an age of democratized media, where the barbarians have not only stormed the gates but made a nice bouillabaisse out of the media guardians formerly known as The Gatekeepers, there’s a need for curators ? Well, yes.
Real-Time News Curation - The Complete Guide Part 2: Aggregation Is Not Curation
We are no longer just consumers of content , we have become curators of it too. In Part 1 of this Guide I have introduced why we really need real-time news curation and what is the basic idea behind it (Part 1 - Real-Time News Curation, Newsmastering And Newsradars - The Complete Guide Part 1: Why We Need It ). In Part 2 I want to continue illustrating what " real-time news curation " is all about, and more specifically why it differs from automatic aggregation, and why you really need a human being to do it. As I see it: " Aggregation is automated, curation is manual. "
Bookmarking, Aggregation, Curation | Optimal Access Inc.
Aggregation is when you collect links on a topic from various sources in one place. Some aggregators apply an editorial process to their selection but aggregated content is treated like news tickers. Curation is when you make selections out of an aggregated list and organize it around a topic to tell a story! Curation differentiates itself from bookmarking due to the fact that the emerging tools offer much better editorial capabilities.
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? Those kinds of debates have been around in one form or another since the Internet was invented, but they have resurfaced lately thanks to two proposals: one is trying to come up with a “code of conduct” for curators and aggregators, and the other is promoting the use of special symbols to give credit to original sources.

Aggregation and curation: two concepts that explain a lot about digital change Every time I read a story about why newspapers are failing that doesn’t mention the role of aggregation and curation in their troubles, it reminds me that something very fundamental is being missed, even by very sophisticated observers. Aggregation is one of the core concepts of content presentation and commercialization. Any analysis of what happened to the record business, what is happening to newspapers, or the future of books and bookstores and magazines and TV that does not feature this concept prominently is almost certainly flawed.

Everyone’s A Curator, Everyone’s A Content Creator | paidContent
It used to be that we were all just consumers — or most of us were, anyway. We’d watch TV or read a book or listen to the music on the radio that was selected by others for us. But lately, there’s been an interesting shift in behavior going on, especially as it relates to how we interact with content on the Internet.There's been a lot of noise around the concept of “Web curation” these days. Even the affably vapid Robert Scoble has written on the topic – so you know it's got real buzzword status. The concept is simple (which suggests, but does not prove, that it may be profound). The amount of information online is unfathomably vast and dreadfully disorganized.

Everyone’s a curator now… - TheWayoftheWeb
We’ve talked for years about citizen journalism and self-publishing, but more important than the channels of distribution are the ways in which content and context are discoved via search engines and social recommendations, and the fact that theoretically this leads to any piece of content available online being indexable, findable and potentially popular. But what’s interesting me at the moment is the rise in curation – not necessarily on a professional level (for example NPR’s Andy Carvin curating Middle East tweets to an audience of almost 60,000 followers, or the increased use of tools such as Ushahidi and Storify by journalists and news organisations), but the effect it has on ‘ad hoc’ content curation – note how I’m trying to avoid that increasingly ridiculous line between amateur/citizen and professional/establishment content production!Why a Content Curator Is Not an Editor | The People Behind the Paper.lis
I had my first online argument recently. I didn’t enjoy it, as I detest arguing in public (or even at all), but this seemed to matter. Not in the way that poverty or injustice or corruption matter. But it was important to me because I felt my adversary was simplifying to the point of losing meaning, which seems to be almost a way of life where a new or complicated word is involved.A couple of weeks ago I wrote a post about content discovery online, and how the social web effectively turns the people that you’re connected to into your very own personal curators. I wrote that “the social web enables users to iterate through a group of curators who provide relevant content by way of social proximity and temporality.” This type of curation could be called ‘distributed social curation,’ since the consumption experience 1) is different for every participant/producer/consumer and 2) is inherently social – meaning, a necessary condition is your participation in an online social graph. I came across two articles tonight that highlight that very same trend. Twitter’s Ev Williams describes the potential impact of distributed social curation in a conversation with GigaOm’s Om Malik : “There’s too much stuff…We just need to let them find the right stuff.
