Filtering is just the first step - and a very important one - but there are many other great ways to add value as a content curator. 

Inspiring recap by Harold Jache quoting Maria Popova, Robin Good and James Magan.

Grat observations by Scott DiMarco on how the iGeneration (also called Z as following X and Y) hadnles information in a completely different way and what it means for marketers. The key premise he derives from Disrupted - a book by Stefan Pollack, a long time PR and Marketing guy - is that "Where previous generations had to earn knowledge via memorization or finding it, this generation simply can access it."

What this means is that traditional methods of information delivery (including traditional advertising) fail to have impact with the iGen. And as DiMarco quoting Pollack states: "Curating content means implied objectivity about who you are and what you are offering. There is no attempt to "sell" when you are collecting valuable information and offering it to people who are looking for it...." 

In short: tell, don't sell. 

(A rule also given earlier today by Likeable CEO Dave Kerpen for amazing content marketing.)

Steve Rosenbaum comes back on why we have information overload but perhaps more interestingly explains why we'll solve it and what are the new laws that will govern this new content economy. 

The 4th law in particular is interesting as very close to our own humanrithm vision: "Curation requires technology and tools to find, filter, and validate content at the speed of the real-time web. Curation can’t simply be a human with a web browser — the mix of man and machine is essential here."

He also describes the profile of these new digital curations and their motivations: "Curators need to be paid to be part of the emerging ecosystem" - not necessarily with cash but through ego, personal development or marketing outcomes.

In a word, content curation can be and will be rewarding.
