A great read. We talked about the similarities of Social Bookmarking and Curation while several people in this site shared their views of the differences. Ask ourselves, are these differences valid ?

I do like Marc comments ... "Curation tools therefore offer functions to select and store, but also to edit, personalize and share." Social bookmarking to me is just like putting a tag in my book i.e. a shortcut to a site on the internet.

I quite like the comments put forth by Bastian Lehmann He somehow managed to highlight the key differnces between curation versus social bookmarking =)

This articles sees curation as a catalyst. It also explains the several types of curation. An interesting article to read.

This is a must-read article in which Steven Rubel draws the analogy of a musuem curator to a dgitial curator. He also explains why most of Social Bookmarking Tools are 'Aggregators' and not an exact version of Digital Curation Tools

Good analogy and it makes it so simple to understand the role of a curator.

Bookmarking is easy but to classify and summarise etc is time consuming and tedious. I am wondering if I can get paid by being a digital curator for education materials. .

This is an excellent source for teachers who wish to know mor in depth of how to harness Diigo as a Social Bookmarking Tool in education and school.

Diigo is a great addon to my suite of personal learning network (PLN) tools. I like it. Unfortunately the URL link seemed broken when I tried reading its contents. What a pity!
