Curation is best when shared

• The curator looks for themes, patterns, meaningful ways of arranging digital assets

• New sites such as Diigo and Deli.cious allow social bookmarking, sharing and creating groups one can join if interested in the topic or theme being curated

In a world of bandwidth and content abundance, we’re overwhelmed with data, tweets, blogs, check in’s and media. It used to be we surfed the web. Now the waves of the web are just too big. Curation is the new magic that makes the web work. Bringing the web back to human scale with human filters you trust and love. A powerful mix of passion and context turns noise back into signal.”
