I haven't read this article but I knew right away, when I saw the title, that it was a valuable subject. I think that if more business people knew who much curation helps their 'don't have time' problem, they'd really be enthusiastic about it.
There's a tendancy, I believe, among business owners to think that people who read their blog, or website (or any other content) expect it to be Pulitzer Prize quality. I don't think that's true at all. Nor do customers expect a LOT of content. They just want to know what the business owner thinks and (in many cases) what they're 'up to'.
Curation makes it so easy for business owners to give them that info.

Add curation in with mobile video and travel blogging and I think you've got a winning combination. Delete the scoop?
