How NOT ?


 * // C ////uration// is **NOT** a race to amass the most links on a topic or to push that content out the fastest to the biggest audience.

How ?


 * //Content curation// is a blend of filtering + archiving. It ensures that older information will remain accessible while new is being added selectively.
 * //Curators are also creator//s -- i.e.each collection reflects the connections in the curator's mind and so tells a story.
 * In social curation, people are the "nodes" in the network. By sharing their vision of what's useful, they collaboratively bring manageability & coherence to a chaotic medium.
