Sandbox:Content Curation/Ted Ex

TED^x Innovate: Curation! by Steven Rosenbaum (Author of Curation Nation - McGrawHill / Spring 2011)

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.

How has content curation changed how we created stories about our shared experience? What do you think the difference is between the "Me Web" and the "We Web?" How do you think this changes the way we interact with internet information? Does data overload impact your behaviour with your environment? How do you deal with this issue? Rosenbaum states, "We needs to say goodbye to search." What does this mean to you and how you interact with online research? If the web is, as Rosenbaum states, a human network, how do we add value through selection, endorsement and experimentation with content curation tools?
