Curation And The Human Web... - SVW

Curation is important because we are reaching the limits of what can be achieved through algorithms and machines in organizing and navigating the Internet. Aggregation looks like curation but it's not. (Please see: Aggregation Is Not Curation - There Is A Big Difference - SVW ) http://www.siliconvalleywatcher.com/mt/archives/2010/11/curation_and_th.php
