[...] On the Web curation often ends as large lists compiled by someone who wanted to collect as many resources as possible. Many Internet users are overwhelmed by such resources lists. There are other ways of pre-selecting content for a better overview. [...]

My own curation habits are driven mostly by lack of time and laziness. The upside is that I only post particularly good stuff to various social media. Been playing around with scoop.it for a while too. Scoop.it is pretty cool, but since I don’t add my own commentary very often it sort of becomes a fancy looking social bookmark collection.

Hey Tad,

Thanks for the mention, always appreciated – and you may have encouraged me to pick up some of the curation that I used to do that has dwindled off a little bit – who invented kids? I agree with Mr Pensabene as well, there is a need for strong curation – the thing is most people produce faceless lists with little to no commentary…

I like the idea of curation or being a content librarian.

Good call on giving Wayne Barker a shout. I use Barker’s tweet streams at times to see what I’ve missed.

it’s a good time for curation – there is a need in the market – there is a huge amount of information coming forth each day. Industry roundups do exist, but a personality or brand has the opportunity to curate in a unique way and make a good impression doing it.

Touche’, nice to have my idea of content curation blown to smithereens… Great insight and the final paragraph, dropped like a line from the heavens.

Scott: Yeah, picking the most important articles is much harder than just collecting all interesting ones.

Nick: Yeah, indeed usability guru Jakob Nielsen has been advising for years to start each post with a summary.

Tad – I couldn’t agree more… in fact, the perspective you have just inspired has caused me to re-think the format of my latest experiment into content creation (NicksLinks.net) I think adding summaries, including ‘cliff notes’ style blurbs will seriously up the value to my subscribers. Cheers!
