Where I see for the curation to be solved is to introduce trust at a process level. One way is to “decompose” the Internet into higher trusted communities of interest where “Judy Consumer” will select the smaller communities of interest that appeals to her.
People who use Tumblr a lot tell me it “makes them feel smarter” about what matters in the web, because it unpacks all sorts of valuable pieces of content into one curated stream – a stream curated by people who you find interesting.
By curation, I mean to care for, and carefully select which content is shared, with the idea that removing something can sometimes make a collection even stronger.
This is not how I remember collecting growing up. I remember focusing on quality; on being very critical about what to add to a collection and what to keep out; about creating a collection that wasn’t just a bunch of stuff, but a reflection on the tastes of the curator, and the needs/desires of the audience.
