1. "Information Mediation is What People Do" Explore Incisive.nu (Apr 24 2012) Information mediation is a central human function. Our brains filter out vast quantities of sensory info and pass along the relevant bits so that we can function without being distracted. But filtering gets much harder as the amount of information to be processed grows exponentially. That's where curation comes in. (Read Full Article)

2. The Alchemy of Good Curation Explore Incisive.nu (Apr 24 2012) The alchemy of good curating amounts to this: sometimes placing one work of art near another makes one and one equal three. Two artworks arranged alchemically leave each intact, transform both and create a third thing. This third thing and the two original things then trigger cascades of thought and reaction; you know things you didn’t know you needed to know until you know them; then you can’t imagine ever not knowing them again. Then these things transform all the other things and thoughts you’ve had. Good curation can act that same way for B2B marketers. (Read Full Article)

3. Slouching Toward the Curatorial: Part 4 of 5 Part Series on Content Curation by @kissane Explore Incisive.nu (Aug 5 2010) Based on my own experience and the comments I’ve seen on content-related discussions of curation, I’m guessing that most content strategists who don’t come from the museum or art worlds don’t realize that there’s a whole field right across the hall (or perhaps in the building next door) that offers processes, perspectives, and a mature body of literature, all of which relate to our work.

5. Between the Click and the Curator : Part 2 of a 5 Part Series on Content Curation by @kissane Explore Incisive.nu (Jul 27 2010) As noted extensively elsewhere, there has been a bit of a kerfluffle about the use of the term “curation” to refer to “real-time” filtering/link selection. Before we turn to the world of professional curation, I want to take a moment to acknowledge that we, the web-making industry, have been pretty careless with the term in ways that have—understandably, I think—got up some curatorial noses.

6. Curating the Deck Chairs on the Titanic : Part 1 of 5 Part Series on Content Curation by @kissane Explore Incisive.nu (Jul 27 2010) One of the snarls in the content curation discussion is a problem of definition: leaving aside the ethical, aesthetic, and logical questions about the relation of museum or gallery curation to the online world, what do we—web people—mean when we say “content curation”?
