Elia Morling's comment,

Brian, I am guessing that there is a self regulating element to this? I mean curators and stories that don't contribute go by relatively unnoticed. This is part of the value creation system. Would you agree?

Here's an inspiring short article by Elia Morling on the role of curators in storytelling.
Elia reports of a discussion he has had with netnographerOlga Kravets, in which she suggested that: "...curators serve their tribe like dumpster divers.
But here, is the most compelling part as Elia really seems to have distilled and illustrated here the three key and most valuable traits of a modern content curator:
a) Curators represent a new type of tribal leadership that operates bottom-up and peer to peer. c) Within a tribe they are not only appreciated for leveraging their insider skills, but for sustaining and developing their culture."
Definitely worth reading. Inspiring. 8/10
