The future of film can be found in curation - a new way to mix a professional point of view with the wisdom of your friends, neighbors and trusted sources.
What is Curation? Why does it matter?
Because content creation is going to continue to grow exponentially - film audiences are going to need to find new ways to filter the deluge of new content, and new ways to find and filter have the potential to create new audiences and new economics.
EDT By Steven Rosenbaum
The debate over the rules of content creation and curation continues to rage. We spoke to some experts for their opinion on the issues surrounding copyright and monetization.
Content aggregation (the automated gathering of links) can be seen on sites like Google News. Overall, this type of aggregation has been seen as a positive thing for content creators and publishers, and up until very recently, it was left to technology. Content creation, meanwhile, was a human effort.
But all that changes with curation — the act of human editors adding their work to the machines that gather, organize and filter content.

A Web start-up named Storify, which opens to the public Monday, April 25, 2011, aims to help journalists and others collect and filter all this information.
Storify aims to help journalists and others sift through the explosion of online content and publish the most relevant information.
Using the Storify Web site, people can find and piece together publicly available content from Twitter, Flickr, Facebook, YouTube and other sites. They can also add text and embed the resulting collages of content on their own sites

Through curation you can save it from the obscurity of the timeline. You can save it for posterity and for others, or simply for your own uses and pleasures.
As content mills such as Demand Media, (and as others follow suit) continue to churn out a Tsunami of mediocre content -- the deluge is swamping all content. The black waters of the media Tsunami will carry away the good and the bad. And search cannot help.
Curation becomes the only way to rescue great content and keep it safe.
YouTube/Google and Hollywood studios must learn to trust each other as the digital entertainment ecosystem evolves.
The problem has evolved from content deficit to what Seth Godin calls attention deficit: someone needs to aggregate all this content and point people to the good stuff.

Personalized news curation may be the latest happy output, but it's been a long time coming.
The explosion of real-time information through social networks like Twitter and Facebook has created an opportunity for "curation" tools such as Storify, which just launched as a public beta.
Tools like Storify allow anyone to perform the same kind of function, regardless of whether they have been trained as a journalist — or even think of what they are doing as journalism.

Social media platforms at their outset allowed us to share information on what’s happening in our daily lives with friends and family. In the past few years, we’ve seen these channels gain credibility as we’ve been granted access to breaking news (Twitter), opinions (blogs) and visual content (YouTube, flickr, Twitpic, etc.) through them.
As we’ve seen in coverage on The New York Times, the media do not hesitate anymore to integrate social media elements into their stories, but social media by itself offers so much more potential for storytelling by its immediacy and its unfiltered authenticity.
Content Curation involves setting your content free, targeting the right market segments, organizing your content and be discerning with who you are sharing it with.
Ten Steps to Content Curation:
1) Get a grasp of your market focus.
2) Understand what topics are important to and will resonate with your target market.
3) Who are the thought leaders, influencers, bloggers, editors/reporters/digerati.
4) What content platform will reach your target market.
5) Timing of content publishing and curating is essential.
6) Create good content and the market will follow.
7) Be original – pick your band or rock star encompassing Bruce Springsteen to Lady Gaga.
8) Organize your content.
9) Be discerning when sharing content.
10) Set your content free!

One problem on a daily basis is to decide for a given Twitter account whether I want to follow it or not. I consider many factors when making the decision such as language of their tweets, frequency, whether they interact on twitter with other people I admire, or if I have some personal or geographic connection with them. But the most critical factor for me is whether they tweet about things that match my interests.
New tool to help see which topics a person tweets about most often. It also shows the other twitter users that are mentioned most frequently in their tweets. I call it the Tweet Topic Explorer. I'm using the recently described Word Cluster Diagrams to show the most frequently used words in their tweets and how they are grouped together.....
The entry field at the lower left lets you explore the tweets for any twitter user.
