    ""Curation comes up when search stops working," says author and NYU Professor Clay Shirky. But it's more than a human-powered filter. "Curation comes up when people realize that it isn't just about information seeking, it's also about synchronizing a community.""

    "While the Web has perhaps democratized who can be an expert, we do still prefer to turn to those with specific backgrounds and from specific professions, especially when it comes to education.One interesting new curation tool is Scoop.it. With Scoop.it, you can set up particular topics that you're interested in. The service crawls the web, looking for content based on your keywords. It suggests materials to you, which you can choose to "scoop" if you like. You can also mark materials you find on your own (made easy with the use of a "bookmarklet" that lets you tag material as you browse), as well as include suggestions from others. Scoop.it then presents this material in a Flipboard-like interface, a more visual way of presenting the content, perhaps, than just a list of bookmarks and the like."
