What is curation
When I read a post like the one written by the always-on-and-everywhere Robert Scoble, “ The Seven Needs of Real-Time Curators ,” I want to say, “Curation just isn’t the right word to describe what we’re doing here.” Believe me, I know I’m guilty of using it, but please, what can I do to help it go away?

Collecting related content isn't curation
Over the years, social networks have lured us from the confines of our existing realities into a new genre of digital domains that not only captivated us, but fostered the creation of new realities. As George Bernard Shaw observed, “Life is not about finding yourself, life is about creating yourself.” Such is true for social networks and the digital persona and resulting experiences we create and cultivate.

Curation Is The New Creation - Social Media Notes
Curation is the New Search is the New Curation
In the beginning there was curation, and it was good. People found interesting things on the web, created directories of those things, and then you found what you were looking for inside those curated lists. That was the origins of the original lists and directories, from Yahoo on outward. But then that got too hard. The web got bigger faster than anyone could keep track. Curation steadily gave way to algorithmic search, which at first was just spidering of the web, and then more intelligent spidering with keywords.
The Guiding Principles of Content Creation and Curation
We’ve all heard the phrase, typically uttered by agencies and ‘social media experts’, “Content is King”. This proclamation throughout the industry is the crux of a main challenge faced by fashion and luxury brands in particular. For brands so deeply rooted in exclusivity, serving up a wide array of ongoing content in a public arena presents quite the conundrum.
Remix culture is a society that allows and encourages derivative works by combining or editing existing materials to produce a new product. [ 1 ] A remix culture would be, by default, permissive efforts to improve upon, change, integrate, or otherwise remix the work of copyright holders.
