A couple of comments about this article: 1) We gotta find a better term than "binge viewing" to describe the phonomena of vwatching multiple hours of a single tv series. We don't call it binge reading when we read a complete book during a single week-end, it's just reading. And, as a life-long reader, I can testify to the fact that binge viewing provides the same satisfaction that was previously only received when reading: complete immersion in a story, a culture, a character or an event. So, instead of binge viewing, let's call it "immersive viewing." 2) Immersive viewing is changing advertising. Consumers who subscribe to a viewing service (Netflix) or buy a DVD series don't want to be interrupted by commercials. An obvious fact, but important to highlight because commercials are one way in which the entertainment industry generates profit on this content. No commercials, less profit - UNLESS, "commercials" simply become part of the content. When advertising goes from interuption to integration everyone profits: > the audience is exposed to commercially available products or services within the context of a story that they value > the "advertiser" reaches their audience during periods of attentiveness and concentration > the content producers are able to make a livelihood from creating beautiful stories. Immersive viewing is driving the adoption of integrated advertising, which will lay the foundation for t-commerce. And, I think it will all be here faster than we expect.

De term 'Binge-viewing' is eigenlijk wel grappig: net als het achteroverslaan van ettelijke kratten bier en wodka ineen zuipkeet comazuipen heet, is het kijken van een hele serie op een dag een vorm van comakijken. Wij doen het in ieder geval regelmatig en er is geen betere manier om de boze buitenwereld buiten te sluiten dan dat. Wat vind jij?

Robin persues the question of what we should aim for in content curation by taking a look at what content curation is not. It is not just selecting stuff and dumping it on your customers.
While this article is aimed at journalyst, there is alot of stuff that we can learn from it that can help in our content marketing efforts.

Well, people are already playing these kinds of immersive world games in Second Life, and people are already studying the effects of "levelling up" social relationships within world games like Second Life. This writer might want to check out 1920s Berlin in SL or the new Russian historical sim, or one of the many French courts in which one may learn and practice courtly manners. And besides, Red Dwarf already had "Pride and Prejudice Land" in 1997, and Kryten was able to win the game with a bulldozer...
