Robin, thank you once again for pointing out the broken link.
There's only ONE broken link of which I am aware. The creation of eBook has been a four month long process and during the course of it one of the links has gone dark. The Color Association of the United States is a perfectly valid, and captivating example of picture curation, as noted in my previous comment. Lastly,the FedEx site is a perfectly valid example of curation that has served its purpose (criticizing the bailout), and is hence no longer updated -- but is still an interesting example of curation as a marketing tool. There's nothing "curious" going on here. One of the sites has gone dark, as you pointed out. We have since updated the eBook to denote that the site is no longer active. Thanks for sharing the link -- hope you and your readership enjoy it.

Thank you Pawan for your kind clarifications that allow me to better appreciate this good editorial work you have done.
I think this type of publication is right on the mark in serving the needs of your audience and my criticism was only directed at highlighting how important, for anyone involved in this field, me included, to pay great attention to details as the reader often does not have the time to appreciate what is not immediately evident. Please keep up such great work as it helps the whole industry grow while educating customers with great examples. Delete the scoop?

The 5 reasons are: 3. Your audience wants to know your thoughts on a particular topic. 4. The last time the topic was covered was so long ago, it’s out of date.5. You could get listed in a roundup post about a particular topic.

A good overview of why it is good to curate content. I also think that for teachers the curation of content can be very meaninfult as they apply certain ideas and technology to their teaching. Their curation in a 'niche' can reflect their growth and development.

I'm glad I read this article. I hadn't thought about the value of roundup blog articles.

Beth, when you say 'new beginners tool' what do you mean? I use diigo as it gives me so many capacities, like highlight and notes and very good ways for sharing. For good beginner tool you mean for those new to curation and/or social bookmarking?

The changes in technology have had far-reaching effects on every aspect of society, changing what we know, how we know it, how we make a living, and how we see the world and each other.
