"...I want to point out that people with better PKM skills, an ability to create higher value information, and a willingness to share it, will become more valued members (nodes) in their professional networks." (Harold Jarche)
Robin Good: In this short article analyzing the PKM (personal knowledge management) process it is interesting to note the strong affinity it has with curation.
"The critical part of PKM is in personalizing information and experience, or to use a business term, adding value.
Ross Dawson shows five ways to add value to information (my examples/descriptions follow):
1) Filtering (separating signal from noise, based on some criteria)
2) Validation (ensuring that information is reliable, current or supported by research)
3) Synthesis (describing patterns, trends or flows in large amounts of information)
4) Presentation (making information understandable through visualization or logical presentation)
5) Customization (describing information in context)."
More info and examples presented in the article do not seem to include yet the appearance of a trusted news curator as a means to develop such PKM, which although is defined as "an individually created process", it could rely in the near future not just on tools, but also on the filtering and curation work of other humans.
Or not?

Not only is this an interesting insight to better understand how people can add value but this is also applicable for libraries and museums |
Scoop.it!
Robin Good: Short post but very relevant points to start looking at. @chopemurray at Opencollaborarchy is the first individual I see catching the different shades of curation "intent" that are characterizing the "surge" of content curation initiatives, projects and tools all around us.
From the original post: "However the evolution of digital curation is experiencing some fragmentation. Not that this is bad, but it does suggest the differences should be understood as curation tools will differ in features and capabilities as each tries to satisfy its target customer base.
So far I have identified 3 major distinctions in [what is "sold" today as] curation:
a) Content Distribution Marketing Content: comes in several forms as marketeers move away from landing pages on Facebook and web sites, and seek to amplify brand presence through curated content.
b) Sense-making - Topic-focused Information (or Knowledge Content): More focused on collecting and condensing information to support a topic or subject. Most commonly a reference site usually set up for either internal or external collaboration
c) Personal Expression Curating Personal Content – less dependent on content management features and capabilites: can either be used for amplification (self-branding) or condensing (information)."
Rightful. Calls for deeper analysis. 8/10
P.S.: I invite you also to contribute to the poll provided at the end of the post. Notwithstanding that the poll will reflect only the opinions of those answering it, I'd very much like those few investing in curation as a sense-making activity to make their voices heard.

This is definately something that anyone in the coming new century needs to learn how to do effectively. Do we want regurgitation or depth of learning from knowledge gained? I value, for example, how Scoop.it allows for the 'web interface' to be looked after, by them ,and the curation and learning happens with us!
Thanks for sharing this Robin Good!
