This a great post and a fascinating reflection of curation in action. I would be very interested in talking with your more about curation in the crisis context. I recently wrote a blog post here about curation and will post more specific crisis examples: http://bit.ly/BliuCuration

Let me know what you think and I’ll also send you an email with more information about the research I am doing.

Curation is also like capatia it cannot be done by computers. It requires the human touch. Social Media in many ways is when we sort and filter information in ways that make it human again.

Right on – curation is the filtering mechanism that was missing from Web 1.0, but that has been a growing trend in the past several years. As information increases, knowledge decreases, unless there is a curation mechanism. The beauty is that curation doesn’t have to be one filter (old media) but can be group intelligence as Twitter is helping to prove.

Agreed. We talk about community curators with our Global 2000 clientele — folks who can not only watch information but also activity flows to insure vibrant internal (applies equally to external) communities. In a world where quick pointing to a piece of information or an event (as in, ‘I updated this powerpoint’) via people is the fast route to adding value, curation is critical.

Great article, Paul.

I’ve been thinking product ideas for curation of twitterstreams for quite a while now. I’d be interested in talking with those who share that interest.

Great post. Couldn’t agree more. In the Twitter world, ‘follows’ are a form of curating our own content on a day-to-day basis, which is part of how I explain Twitter to newcomers. What was interesting about the earthquake/tsunami coverage was the extent to which the traditional media (CNN, etc.) were relying on social media, and somewhat abdicating their role as “curators.” The quest continues to find the right balance.
