An editor can then curate this content and display it as they wish - for example letting the flow appear as a raw feed, tagging or geo-tagging content, featuring the best stuff, etc. Here's a diagramme showing the flow of content into the system, the editorial and tagging layer, and the social layer:
As per comScore Oct 2010 data more than 175 million U.S. Internet users watched online video content for an average of 15.1 hours per viewer.
Social video curation is process where after watching a video the user shares that video with his social network by either posting it on his Facebook wall, Tweeting the video link or embedding the video on his blog etc. On an average each user has approx 220 friends on Facebook, approx 30 followers on Twitter etc. Each user by the process of social curation creates a large multiplier effect and creates a rich volume of real-time data which could be more useful than the TV rating systems.
What is the real value of curated content? Does it live in the content itself or does it live in the context, in the curation of the content - the commentary, the opinion pieces, the conversations that the content itself generates?
Why does curating matter to you and your brand? Simply put, curated content is about relevance. People want relevant, useful content and they don’t want to read or see all the other junk. Therefore, you want to be part of that stream of content that is relevant to them. Just as important is the word of mouth element at play. The more content that gets pushed in our face the more we reject the mass of it and turn to word of mouth recommendations from people we know and trust. Curating content fits right into this model.
A lot of social media analysts are predicting that curation will help solve the issue of social media overload. Curation has been touted as the chosen social
With social curation becoming another compelling way to discover videos the user would want a service that helps him consume curated videos from multiple sources all at one place. In the future the device manufacturers (tablet, connected TV, smart phone) could start offering a video discovery service that aggregates curated content from multiple sources and creates a personal experience powered by an individual’s social connections.

Dailymotion says it's making on-demand curation a significant part of its content and traffic building strategy, adding that curating content around interest areas has been a key factor in the company's rapid growth.
People use the internet to get only the news they are looking for and nothing else, which presents a challenge for big media companies that have traditionally sold news and advertising in bundled formats (newspapers and broadcast news programs, for example).

Where editors once selected the contents of news bundles, a modern information consumer use technologies that produce bundles based her choice of sources, topics of interest, interactions with that content, and recommendations from friends.
