If you've followed curation as a trend, you've heard of Steve Rosenbaum. His book Curation Nation was instrumental last year in making curation and curators emerge as a trend and as an important group.
As Steve puts it, curators are the Web's super heroes.
But as Steve says, it's just starting and this is just the beginning. And from what we can see in Austin this year, he's damn right!
Steves point about curating the noise out there and streamiling content is the wave of the future. Steve does a great job explaining the importance of content curation. Great piece and great examples. Have a look.

Common misconception about content curation is that everything is automated . This article does a great job explaining the human element involved in curating content. It also shares some bad habits people pick up from the unintentional convenience of automated tools.

Yes, Robin, I figured that. ;) It really is obvious that we don´t lack tools for just about any type of activity in social media anymore. Finding just the "right tools" and right forums to tell your stories to right audiences is a challenge for beginners. The coolest thing is, of course, when you find listeners you never knew existed. That´s when the whole thing gets interesting.

The newspaper. One of the most sacred institutions of the publishing world and one of its oldest, most respected methods of knowledge gathering and collection of popular opinion, dating all the way back to the first printing presses ever created. Via gdecugis, Eric Moran
Eric Moran's insight:
Having lived through this era at one of the papers on this list. I can attest to much that is stated in this article. People simply digest content the way they want to now, not the way that publishers want it delivered. People now have the power to seek out the content that they want.They can now deliver, create and share content with the many tools avialable. The shift of content power will continue.
Newspapers are doing the best they can to deliver and create content to readers. The problem is, they typically resort to old methods or try to recreate something that user does not want.

Earlier today, I posted this great piece by Jay Rosen summarizing the status of journalism in today's digital age. In the meantime, we had our own Clair write her own opinion on why it's actually not so much the Web which is killing newspapers than our own habits and expectations with regards to knowledge and information gathering. The good news? New social media & content curation tools that can make people part of the solution again.
