What Is Web Curation?

Web Curation is one of the hottest buzzwords being used today to describe a solution to the problem of the ever-polluted search engine results by web spam.

“Curation is a person or persons, engaged in the act of choosing and presenting things related to a specific topic and context.

Why Is Web Curation Important?

Curation is becoming an increasingly important term and for good reason: the online world is increasingly messy, muddled and full of blind alleys.

Search used to be the best way to navigate online but today it is only one part of an Internet user’s dashboard. Finding things is fine if you know what to look for, but search is increasingly less effective in judging the quality of links, or putting those links into a context.

Is Web Curation Going Away?

Curation, as a topic isn’t going to go away, it will be one of the most important subjects of 2011.

Curation is about the “human web” while aggregation is about the “machine web.”
