You can follow him on Twitter @magnify and read more about Curation at CurationNation.org. For website content publishers and content creators, there's a debate raging as to the rights and wrongs of curation. While content aggregation has been around for a while with sites using algorithms to find and link to content, the relatively new practice of editorial curation — human filtering and organizing — has created what I'm dubbing, "The Great Creationism Debate." The debate pits creators against curators, asking big questions about the rules and ethical questions around content aggregation.

You are what you curate: why Pinterest is hawt Evolution of social media by Elad Gill (graphic courtesy of Elad Gill) Updated: The new hot social thing on the web these days is a Palo Alto, Calif.–based company started by Ben Silbermann, Paul Sciarra and Evan Sharp. (I incorrectly described this group as ex-Facebookers. 2012 will likely see an acceleration of structured, push button, social curation across the web. The way I see it, Pinterest is yet another example of basic human behavior’s being transposed on to the web. Back when I was young, my cousins would cut out photos, ads and visuals from fashion and lifestyle magazines and create collages. In 2005, David Galbraith, a friend of mine who has a nasty habit of predicting the future before everyone else, built a service called Wists. Well, since everyone is using “curate,” why don’t we? From the foods we eat, the drinks we chug, the jeans we wear, the bags we buy, the shoes we run in — they are pretty universal.

It’s that for him the video, while socially relevant, has taken a groundswell of internet attention and pointed it at a single issue, while scores of others go unnoticed. [bug id="sxsw2012"]“The thing is that those are not as sexy as, you know, an evil man who is drugging children to kill people,” Huh told Wired during an interview at the South by Southwest Interactive conference. “That’s a great internet sound bite.” Huh would rather the internet’s attention — its “one-click altruism,” as he calls it — be turned to things like displacement in Africa or other large issues instead of “something you can easily hate.” It may surprise some people that the guy who is mainly known for popularizing fat cats with misspelled photo captions has so much to say about the news. Only recently have they gotten traction.

Gawker Media founder Nick Denton says majority of online comments have become "off topic" and "toxic." Gawker chief: Idea of positive online comments has become a jokeNick Denton speaks at the South by Southwest Interactive festivalHe said the bigger a site is, the harder it is to curate comment sectionsOne idea? Making certain stories only open to a few select commenters Austin, Texas (CNN) -- In the early days of the Internet, there was hope that the unprecedented tool for global communication would lead to thoughtful sharing and discussion on its most popular sites. A decade and a half later, the very idea is laughable, says Gawker Media founder Nick Denton. "It didn't happen," said Denton, whose properties include the blogs Gawker, Jezebel, Gizmodo, io9 and Lifehacker. "The idea of capturing the intelligence of the readership -- that's a joke." Denton was speaking at South by Southwest Interactive, the annual festival here devoted to Web and digital culture. So, what's the solution?

Europe’s Tech Hubs: Let’s Startup Somewhere Else Valley Boys It was June 26, 4:45 a.m., and Digg founder Kevin Rose was slugging back tea and trying to keep his eyes open as he drove his Volkswagen Golf to Digg's headquarters above the offices of the SF Bay Guardian in Potrero Hill. This was the day Rose would test everything. Two years earlier, Rose had gambled on his idea to change newsgathering, letting the masses "dig up" the most interesting stories on the Web and vote them onto his online "front page" on Digg.com. Rose had given every last piece of himself to the project -- all his time, all his cash, and even his girlfriend, who fought with him after he poured his savings into Digg instead of a downpayment on a house. Today, Digg, Version 3, the one that would go beyond tech news to include politics, gossip, business, and videos, was going live. At 29, Rose was on his way either to a cool $60 million or to total failure. Slide Show >> Digg's stature changed dramatically that day. It's not as dot-com déjà vu as it sounds.

The bootstrapped startup was created by developers Josh Miller, Cemre Güngöre, and Hursh Agrawal.
