Dennis T OConnor's insight:

Curation was not a hot topic back in 2008 when Clay Shirky observed, "It's not information overload. It's filter failure." 


Now curation is becoming a way for indidividuals to share their expert interests and for all of us to assemble an expert's gallery of human curated topics that we want to follow. 


Is curation, the answer to the 'fact' of information overload?

How low is the filter for quality bar now? Do we live in a world of filter failure?
