Digital Curator

Great piece in Micro Persuasion on the idea of the need for, a growth of, the Digital Curator.

“Information overload makes it difficult to separate junk from art. It requires a certain finesse and expertise – a fine tuned, perhaps trained eye. Google, memetrackers such as Techmeme and social news sites like digg are not curators. They’re aggregators – and there’s a big difference.”

Goes on to further define what a Digital Curator is and the role they will play in our futures.
