  •  
    With the unprecedented levels of published information, it is very difficult for Internet users to stay up to date on what matters to them. This situation is especially dramatic for information professionals that must remain aware of new happenings in order to stay ahead of the curve. Content curation is the process of picking the most relevant and valuable content for a specific audience. There is an important human component to content discovery and curation because only users can fully understand the context of the information they are working with.

Curator's ǝpoɔ - Keep the Rabbit Hole of the Internet Open - 0 views

  •  
    One of the most magical things about the Internet is that it's a whimsical rabbit hole of discovery - we start somewhere familiar and click our way to a wonderland of curiosity and fascination we never knew existed.
