What is curation?
With the unprecedented levels of published information, it is very difficult for Internet users to stay up to date on what matters to them. This situation is especially dramatic for information professionals that must remain aware of new happenings in order to stay ahead of the curve. Content curation is the process of picking the most relevant and valuable content for a specific audience. There is an important human component to content discovery and curation because only users can fully understand the context of the information they are working with. Technology can support content curation by computing large volumes of information on behalf of the user by helping to discover new pieces of Web information.
Content Curation Tools: 5 Different Approaches
Curation is the act of deliberately organizing content around a topic in a way that informs and educates your audience. The headlines for a piece of content can be viewed as symbols. A headline is what draws people to reading and article or not. Additionally tags and tag clouds are also a symbolic representation of the curated collection of articles. According to Wikipedia "Art is the product or process of deliberately arranging items (often with symbolic significance) in a way that influences and affects one or more of the senses, emotions, and intellect."

That's what curation online also has to demonstrate: mastery, passion, knowledge, and expertise. Without such additional layers, a curated collection of links is just a collection of links. Which is why curation cannot be easily handed off to a junior, or an intern, unless they really know their stuff. Otherwise, you could simply create curated content via some filters, some keywords, etc.

Milner also said: “I think the next big theme is basically curation–how you select information out of the increasing number of sources, and doubling of information probably every 18, 24 months. The question is how do you select what’s relevant for you, and my guess is that its probably going to be 50% driven by your network and 50% driven by algorithms.” “Amazon is going to be the largest retailer in the world in 20 years,” he said, when asked for a prediction of how business or technology may change the world. DST in 2009 led an investment of $200 million in Facebook Inc., followed by smaller investments in Zynga and Groupon. In late December last year, it teamed up with Goldman Sachs Group Inc. to invest an additional $500 million in Facebook. “At least you should wait until the companies go public,” Milner said, when asked at what point investors should start thinking of an exit.

Collecting related content isn't 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? Says Robert: “Look at this post here, I can link to Tweets, and point out good ones, right? That’s curation. Or I can order my links in a particular order.
Content farms
What Demand Media, Answers.com and AOL are doing is having a much greater impact on the quality and findability of content on the Web. See also: If you thought it was bad enough that many professional blogs pump out 30 posts a day, often regurgitations of press releases or quick write-ups of "news" such as Twitter being down for a few minutes (note the irony of that tweet), this new type of Google gaming is on a far bigger scale.
