Curation

=What is Online Curation?= A Content Curator is someone who continually finds, groups, organizes and shares the best and most relevant content on a specific issue online. ~Rohit Bhargava

Curation Activities

 * Filter
 * Aggregate
 * Organize(optional but adds value)
 * Publish

One of the reasons to search out curated sources is to help lighten the cognitive load while increasing the signal to noise ratio in our personal information stream.

People don’t want more information. They want less information properly organized so that you can help find what you’re looking for. ~Steven Rosenbaum, author of Curation Nation
