Facebook and the Age of Curation Through Unsharing | TechCrunch

Facebook’s Open Graph is ushering in a monumental shift in how we curate what we share. Curation used to mean opting in to sharing.

Curating the Content Overload | OpenSesame

Likewise, now that content creation and delivery systems like Blogger , Flickr or Wordpress are free, diverse and accessible, content creators find their videos, photos, writing and ideas lost in the content sea. The struggle to curate pervades our personal and professional lives. In our personal lives, we can’t effectively prioritize the information we need for recreation, play and enjoyment. https://www.opensesame.com/blog/curate-content#comment-10
