    3. Does content curation have a scaling problem?

      Thought provoking article on the curation craze. Erin Griffith argues that curation is fundamentally a human process, but as a result, it cannot scale like algorithms. In the end, however, she concludes that quality will win over quantity, and that curation will provide a unique human experience that cannot be replicated by algorithms:

      A business based on human curation will always be smaller by definition than one that scales through algorithms and computers. But that human element makes what they’re building that much more valuable... But that’s fine, indeed desirable. Because tech can be replicated. Taste cannot.

      Harvard Business Review recognizes that content will be one of the 6 biggest social and digital trends for 2013:

      Content may become your company's most valuable asset in 2013.... Organizations must create compelling content to exploit this.

    6. Brands will become the media via curated newsrooms

      Edelman Digital thinks that the future of brand marketing is for them to become the media.  That's not a new thought, but Edelman further details predicts that this will happen as  brands curate content from various channels to form what they call the "social-creative newsroom".  They don't mention the word "curation" here but that's clearly what they are hinting at:

      It’s all going to come down to this: content, quality, frequency and relevancy. If companies are to become media, they must master the art and science of merging marketing with a real-time news cycle. The content a company produces must be compelling and built for an audience with an itchy “like” finger.
