Great conversation going on here. I curate to build knowledge and develop deeper understanding of things i am interested in, sometimes I can use that information straight away and sometimes I go back to it later when i need it. It all goes into the melting pot that becomes our knowledge bank. Getting everyone else's perspectives helps to crystalize your own thoughts and perspectives.
