Content Curation
Content curation is the collection and sharing of content such as websites, news articles, blogs, videos, pictures, tweets and any other information that you can find on the web. The term curation is not new (art galleries and museums have been 'curating' for ages) but with the ever increasing amount of information on the web it has become a popular and very useful way to 'harvest', collect, select, and manage and disseminate(share) the information that you want to keep.
