With solutions like Paper.li and Browse My Stuff grabbing attention, and with people like Robin Good doing a series on Real-Time News Curation, and Ross Dawson tells us has curation has hit the tipping point, it seems like the concepts of curation, aggregation, filtering are suddenly a central conversation. Of course, this has long been a conversation as Robin, Ross or I could tell you. However, what has really changed here is first the explosion of content sources. As Robin put it:
"You cannot follow and keep yourself updated in an effective way by simply subscribing to as many sources as possible."
I would also say that what has really changed is the sophistication of automated filtering to deal with extracting value from the noise. I had an interesting exchange with Robin around the question of what constitutes filtering and how that differs from curation. I'll get to that in a bit. Let' me first provide some background on filtering.

For Beginners
If you're just getting started, be sure to follow these tips.
1. Set up your profile: Give people a glimpse beyond what your tweets reveal.
2. Include a picture: Make sure you add a photo of yourself so that your tweets will be more personal.
3. Create a simple and short Twitter name: The longer your Twitter ID, the more space it takes up, and having a complicated name can make it hard for people to respond to or mention you.
4. Just do it: Don't just lurk-jump into the conversation.
5. Make your profile link something that tells more about you: Share your blog, an about me page, or any other page that offers more information about the person behind the tweets.
6. Share photos: Post your photos on Twitter to shake things up a bit and add some interest to your stream.
7. Use proper grammar: Occasional abbreviations are passable, but make sure that your tweets are readable.
8. Use your real name: Build your personal brand by choosing your real name as your Twitter ID.
9. List your location: Many people use Twitter for local networking, so they'll be more likely to follow you if they know where you are.
10. Learn the lingo: If you don't know what DM, @, RT, and other Twitter symbols and words are, look them up or ask.
11. Don't rush to build your network: Don't follow hundreds of people right away-allow your following to grow organically.
12. Reply to someone with @: Place an @ sign in front of someone's name on Twitter to write to them specifically, or simply just mention them-they will be notified that you did so.
13. Shrink your URLs: Use a URL shortener like TinyURL or is.gd to make it easier to fit into 140 characters.
14. Use your mobile device: Tweet from your phone, iPod, or other mobile device to keep your Twitter updated on the go, using the mobile web or text.
15. Find your friends: Use Twitter's search in order to find your friends, organizations, and others that you may want to follow o
