This is a cross-post from Altimeter Group Researcher Jaimy Szymanski. I excerpted from the article:
"Curation is taking over the digital content scene. With related applications and platforms multiplying, the act of collecting and sharing content has become second nature for most of us.
When talking data it’s far simpler to look at all the content out there and curate, rather than analyze the gaps and create new, original content to fill them.
But, upon taking a closer look behind the why of curation, the researcher found potential value pulling some data from Trendstream.
***Motivations Behind Content Curation and Sharing: 1) Motivations behind curation are positive: to share a good experience, to help consumer pick out good product and to encourage company improvement.
2) Millennials share content focused on “self.” As generations get older, secondary motivation shifts to a bigger picture though, to helping consumers. Add to that the fact that many have grown up recognizing technology as a platform for both utility and self-expression or promotion.
3) Fostering expertise is among lowest motivations. I predict that curated content will increasingly be more accepted as “original” content over time, as long as it contains some unique insight or alteration.
***Where Curation Opportunities Lie: Curation will prove to be a very positive trend for marketers who are looking to affect their audience via way of content marketing. It’s quite possible that content curators will also begin to be recognized as influencers in their respective industries, and organizations will treat them as such.
I’ll end with a few final thoughts: 1) The amount of content curated will rise and fall in cycles, as shared content depends on original content creation to survive.

This a great blog post from Rian van der Merwe , describing the noise you can find on the web now, and especially content just created for SEO purposes or advertisers. As many, Rian is tired of it.
Rian speaks for many of us who are overwhelmed, overloaded with content that gives us no value at all. This is the problem
"I used to believe that if you write with passion and clarity about a topic you know well (or want to know more about), you will find and build an audience. I believed that maybe, if you’re smart about it, you could find a way for some part of that audience to pay you money to sustain whatever obsession drove you to self-publishing"'
Here's what caught my attention:
****The wells of attention are being drilled to depletion by linkbait headlines, ad-infested pages, “jumps” and random pagination, and content that is engineered to be “consumed” in 1 minute or less of quick scanning – just enough time to capture those almighty eyeballs[2]. And the reality is that “Alternative Attention sources” simply don’t exist.
The Scoopit team agrees!
My input:
****The Opportunity: This is the time for all good curators to come forward - 2012 will be the year of the content curator -
**Know your audience **Know their pain points **Find and select the best content, add your own opinions, information or anything that will provide more value for your audience **Select only the best content, don't just aggregate links that add to the noise **Become a trusted resource - many opportunities will come to you, it's your time to shine

Via axelletess, janlgordon Ever since social curation became a hot trend and platforms like Scoop.it started to democratize its usage, a question has been asked: if there are more and more curators, how do you curate the curators?
I believe we're building the answers to that and I like very much the guidelines given in this article by Robin Good - someone to definitely a to be put in the "good" curators group. It is great food for thoughts for the evolution of curation platforms and how to improve concepts we introduced like the Scoop.it Score, the first of its kind and that we started to experiment with a few weeks ago.
The whole debate makes me want to write a follow-up as there would be too much to say as just a comment. But in the meantime I recommend to read these guidelines as they're clearly very good points. Clearly everyone will benefit from levelling up the playing field in social curation and Robin is showing a clear path here.
One comment I'd make is that this post and this debate makes me really happy: a year ago, social curation had to demonstrate its value against algorithmic filtering as this Quora question illustrates. Since then, Panda gave a tough time to filters, which were already losing traction as I pointed out back then on TechCrunch.
Today, the debate has shifted to the next level. It's both fascinating and a great news for social media. Via gdecugis

As a programmer it's very common to be surfing the interwebs for various code snippets and examples. The problem is many websites have poor methods for displaying the sample code making it hard to read. What is Syntaclet? Syntaclet is a bookmarklet, a bookmark which acts like a little computer program rather than taking you to a website. To use Syntaclet simply drag the bookmarklet to your bookmarks bar (or right click and choose "Add to favorites..."). Now anytime you are on a website you can simply click '{} Syntaclet' in your bookmarks bar and it will go to work making all the code on the website easier to read. It will also bring up the Syntaclet toolbar giving you some options. That's all there is to it!

"Yesterday, 250 million photos were uploaded to Facebook, 864,000 hours of video were uploaded to YouTube, and 294 billion emails were sent. No wonder content curation is one of the most important jobs of our digital age. (...) Which means it's time to enlist the web's secret power: humans."
I just love the way Steve Rosenbaum talks about curators, don't you?
He coined the term when we interviewed him at SxSWi and Steve definitely knows what he's talking about, being the author of Curation Nation.
He gives interesting guidelines to all would-be curators in this post: even if you're already one, you might find them useful. And if you're not a curator yet: "All you need is a web browser and a cape. The rest is up to you."

This piece was written by Eric Brown for social media explorer. I selected this article because it reaffirms what many of us already know but it's still good to see this in writing: Content curation and Media Curation (a mix of machine aggregation and Human Curation) are starting to pick up steam.

HTML5 templates are getting very popular these days because all professional HTML5 templates are compatible to all browsers with its functionality and features, and with the release of HTML5 / CSS3 it has become even more popular among designers... 
Content Curation tools are the next-generation digital content platforms having evolved from content aggregation (gathering links, like Google News) and social bookmarking tools (like Delicious and Digg). Most of these tools have been aimed at individual and/or consumer use to help manage and sort through the vast spaces of Web content.
The next-generation tools, like Curata (a HiveFire company) and Curation Station, are focused on B-to-B marketing with a value proposition focused on their ability to drive awareness by improving organic search, and provide organizations with an opportunity to build thought leadership. The key to this evolution is being the “curator.”
The curator is an editor who sorts through the content to find the information relevant to a company and/or its audience. Curators are not content creators. And this is where I think the challenge lies in using these tools for thought leadership.
Curation tools have the potential to deliver the following results: - Reduce the time needed to collect research and/or develop the issue set
Keep in mind, content curation tools are enablers. They are not the answer. To realize the potential value outlined above, and, as the research points out, satisfy the need for “original content,” it will still require a resource investment such as a person and the time to do it.
