2. Can Venture Capitalize on Curation? Explore magnify.net (May 18 2011) The sheer volume of Web content makes it clear that content without curation is simply noise Yuri Milner, the VC whose Russian Digital Sky Technologies (DST) group has put money into Facebook, Zynga and Groupon, was quoted at the Abu Dhabi Media Summit as saying, Curation is the next big thing. Said Milner: "The question is, 'How do you select what's relevant for you?' And my guess is that it's probably going to be 50% driven by your network and 50% driven by algorithms."

3. Fred Wilson, Uri Milner: Is Curation VC's Big New Thing? Explore magnify.net (May 17 2011) There are some things we all agree are broken. Finding stuff on the web is broken. The volume of 'stuff' has rapidly exceeded the tools we've counted on for the past 10 years or so. And, the speed of 'stuff' makes validating new data harder and harder. Now a number of the web's most trusted voices (and interestingly, deepest pockets) have started to embrace a concept that could have massive ramifications. To manage, and make useful, the massive growth of content on the web, sites must embrace curation. Fred Wilson, who's blog AVC often heralds the changing ... (Read Full Article)

4. The Heart of the Realtime Revolution Explore magnify.net (May 16 2011) You could feel it in the air. The world had changed. It wasn't that the web had gotten less important, in fact, very much the opposite. The web was, until the day before yesterday, a series of pages that could be viewed on your computer. Now it had somehow broken free of its bonds and sprung to life. At SXSW - content has surpassed the technology. The talk was about access and devices. API's were the new kings of content. The already brilliantly successful TED Talks were no longer restricted to a website - as TED's Media Director announced ... (Read Full Article)

And as one person tweeted recently: "Tunisia's revolution took four weeks. Egypt: 17 days. Who's next and how much time do they have?" When it ... (Read Full Article)

6. Is Curation King Explore magnify.net (Feb 17 2011) Blog Post By Ellie Behling By now we're all overly familiar with the term curation. The word might have lost its novelty, but its importance is only growing. Information overload has increased the need for curation ― both in the form of tools and a new way of thinking, explained Steven Rosenbaum, CEO of Magnify.net and author of the book Curation Nation. Technology alone will not solve the problem; it's a misunderstanding to think that content producers will be replaced by robots, he said. “People are stuck on this idea that curation replaces creation,” said Rosenbaum, speaking at ...

9. Content Is No Longer King: Curation Is King Explore magnify.net (Jun 18 2010) "Content is King" -- no longer. Today, the world has changed. "Curation Is King." Ok, I hear all the content-makers sharpening their knives to take me on. I'm ready. First, why content is dead: Content used to be the high quality media that came out of the very pointed end of the funnel. Articles in the New York Times. Movies from Miramax. Thursday night comedy from NBC. Books published by Simon and Schuster. Creative folks wrote pitches, treatments, sample chapters, pilots, but only the best of the best got published.
