      We Are The Filter Bubble

      Gideon Rosenblatt argues that we are in a filter bubble and the future of the web is curating the curators:

      In the world of the information networker, curating content is only half the game. The other half is curating the curators. And in that power to choose our connections, rests our ultimate power to reshape our information filter bubbles and radically improve our perception of reality.

      How many curators does it take to curate a story about lightbulbs?

      Rex Hammock criticizes the practices of re-writing or paraphrasing third-party content under the guise of curation:

      But somewhere along the way, the inherently-confusing metaphor of “curation” being applied to content on the web went from something like, “finding relevant content and pointing readers to it” to something like, “find content on other sites and simply re-write what they say and place it on our site and that’s okay, as long as somewhere you credit the source.”

      Content Curation for Marketers: Content Marketing Answer?

      Mark Sherbin from Duo Consulting casts his doubts on the future of content curation arguing that it will lead to a flood of low quality feeds of content. Though we disagree, it's an interesting take.

      While content curation has its benefits, I don’t see content curation as a solution to the problem. In the short term, perhaps. But just as the web was flooded with low quality content, once again the web will be flooded with low quality feeds of content.

      Content 4 Demand covers Curata's recent content curation adoption survey with some startling findings about how widespread content curation is within the marketer demographic:

      Lots of marketers curate content via social media, and that makes sense – social media is quick, efficient and easy to use. But a majority also use personal email, blogs and email newsletters for content curation. In other words, content curation isn't a lowest-common-denominator activity. Marketers obviously take it seriously, they devote resources to it, and they put time and effort into delivering it to prospects.

      Content Curation: The Age of Discovery

      Atomic Reach discusses the intersection of curation tools, social media channels and how they both together aid information discovery:

      Curators are the connectors between the content we want to consume and the people who are producing this content on our behalf.

    12. Content Curators Are The New Superheros Of The Web

      Explore FastCompany.com (Apr 16 2012)

      Steve Rosenbaum, author of Curation Nation, has an interesting take on curators -- they are the superheroes who come to the rescue of consumers who get too much content online.
