Curators
RE: Rand's Blog, The Algorithm and the Cloud are Not Enough, 11/29/2010
“Opinionated, benevolent editors” is the way it’s going; ever since the Forrester report at the end of October that more people are getting on the web but content creation is flat, the term “curator” is popping up. The algorithm system, touted as the “virtuous circle,” really is me-too chatting up, that promotes the already-promoted, leaving other options of merit unnoticed. The curator is a promoter who can pick ‘em and knows how to release the kite into the social winds.
