Content Curators Are The New Superheros Of The Web Yesterday, the ever-churning machine that is the Internet pumped out more unfiltered digital data. Yesterday, 250 million photos were uploaded to Facebook, 864,000 hours of video were uploaded to YouTube, and 294 BILLION emails were sent. And that's not counting all the check-ins, friend requests, Yelp reviews and Amazon posts, and pins on Pintrest. The volume of information being created is growing faster than your software is able to sort it out. As a result, you're often unable to determine the difference between a fake LinkedIn friend request, and a picture from your best friend in college of his new baby. What's happened is the web has gotten better at making data. While devices struggle to separate spam from friends, critical information from nonsense, and signal from noise, the amount of data coming at us is increasingly mind-boggling. In 2010 we frolicked, Googled, waded, and drowned in 1.2 zettabytes of digital bits and bytes. 1. How will curation evolve?
Archival science Archival science, or archival studies, is the study and theory of building and curating archives,[1] which are collections of documents, recordings and data storage devices. An archival record preserves data that is not intended to change. In order to be of value to society, archives must be trustworthy. Therefore, an archivist has a responsibility to authenticate archival materials, such as historical documents, and to ensure their reliability, integrity, and usability. An archive curator is called an archivist; the curation of an archive is called archive administration. Background[edit] History[edit] The earliest archival manuals: Jacob von Rammingen, Von der Registratur (1571), Baldassare Bonifacio, De Archivis (1632). Archival science emerged from diplomatics, the critical analysis of documents.[1][4] In 1540, Jacob von Rammingen (1510-1582) wrote the manuscript of the earliest known archival manual. Rammingen elaborated a registry for the Augsburg city council. Standards[edit]
Versailles Beth Kanter's Blog Information science Academic field concerned with collection and analysis of information Information science (also known as information studies) is an academic field which is primarily concerned with analysis, collection, classification, manipulation, storage, retrieval, movement, dissemination, and protection of information.[1] Practitioners within and outside the field study the application and the usage of knowledge in organizations in addition to the interaction between people, organizations, and any existing information systems with the aim of creating, replacing, improving, or understanding the information systems. Foundations[edit] Scope and approach[edit] Information science focuses on understanding problems from the perspective of the stakeholders involved and then applying information and other technologies as needed. In other words, it tackles systemic problems first rather than individual pieces of technology within that system. Definitions[edit] Related terms[edit] Philosophy of information[edit]

Howard Rheingold | Exploring mind amplifiers since 1964 Archive Accumulation of historical records An archive is an accumulation of historical records or materials – in any medium – or the physical facility in which they are located.[1][2] Archives contain primary source documents that have accumulated over the course of an individual or organization's lifetime, and are kept to show the function of that person or organization.[citation needed] Professional archivists and historians generally understand archives to be records that have been naturally and necessarily generated as a product of regular legal, commercial, administrative, or social activities. They have been metaphorically defined as "the secretions of an organism",[3] and are distinguished from documents that have been consciously written or created to communicate a particular message to posterity. In general, archives consist of records that have been selected for permanent or long-term preservation on the grounds of their enduring cultural, historical, or evidentiary value. History[edit]
Become a Content Curation King Sean Carton | August 29, 2011 | 18 Comments inShare79 Nine ways to make curation work for your brand. "Curation" is a buzzword (even if it isn't technically a word…unless you count the 14th century French definition meaning "to cure") that's smokin' up the interwebs these days. Launching into the blogosphere virtually from nowhere in 2009, it's now one of those terms that's essential to any digital marketer on the cutting edge (or for anyone who wants to sound like one). Curation has now come to mean the act of sorting through the vast amounts of content on the web and presenting it in a coherent way, organized around a specific topic(s). If you're a web veteran, you're probably wondering how this is any different than what people have been doing online for years. So what's the big deal about curation? Making curation work for your brand is a lot easier said than done. People matter.
Mary Meeker's speech today: Re-imagination of Content Distribution Mary Meeker remains one of the best content curators and summarizers on the current state of the Internet. Her latest presentation delivered today in Rancho Palos Verdes, California at the D10 can be seen in full here courtesy of Business Insider. The presentationshows that Web growth remains high and that mobile adoption is still at an early stage. We thought slide #20 was very interesting showing how terrible average revenue per user is for mobile users compared to desktop ones. If you don’t have time to go through the 125 slide deck a you can get a feel of her views on content distribution in the video below: Post by Dino Joannides Sound recording and reproduction Prehistory[edit] Phonautograph[edit] Main article: Phonautograph Phonograph[edit] Phonograph cylinder[edit] On April 30, 1877, French poet, humorous writer and inventor Charles Cros submitted a sealed envelope containing a letter to the Academy of Sciences in Paris fully explaining his proposed method, called the paleophone. Disc phonograph[edit] Recording of Bell's voice on a wax disc in 1885, identified in 2013 [more details] Emil Berliner with disc record gramophone The next major technical development was the invention of the gramophone disc, generally credited to Emile Berliner and commercially introduced in the United States in 1889, though others had demonstrated similar disk apparatus earlier, most notably Alexander Graham Bell in 1881.[7] Discs were easier to manufacture, transport and store, and they had the additional benefit of being louder (marginally) than cylinders, which by necessity, were single-sided.
