The Curation Buzz... And PearlTrees. Posted by Tom Foremski - April 12, 2010 My buddy Dave Galbraith is the first person I remember to first start talking about curation and the Internet, several years ago.
He even named his company Curations, and created a tool/site for curation: Wists. LeWeb10 and the Curation topic. Looks like curation has been one of the keyword of LeWeb10.
Exactly one year after Pearltrees beta release, the activity we used to call human organization of the Web has not only find its word but also its way. Sure, Pearltrees is steadily growing, reaching 100.000 uniques and more. But it goes far beyond that: masses of new startups are quickly populating the curation field. Bloggers, thinkers and journalist begin to frame, to question, to define the curation topic. Gen Z: the curation generation. These are my paraphrased notes and observations from the presentation by Katherine Savitt at the Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco on 17 November 2010.
