Speaking with a colleague this weekend, we came to a conclusion that one of the most disruptive and time consuming problems in business today is the overload of content, most of it being irrelevant. The one major draw-card of the Internet is that anyone can access the information available online, but a downside is that anyone can contribute to that info. How does one know what is relevant to your business and where to find it.
An interesting article caught my attention shortly after on PSFK showing how necessary it is for us to have guides on the internet. So when it comes to content, how badly do we need curatorship?
In business today it is imperative that you have access to the latest available information but more so than that it has to be relevant to your business. There are various tools you can use such as RSS feeds which enable you to sort through the masses of info. These tools are becoming necessities in today’s information rich world.
Enter the Digital Curator. When it comes to curatorship it is vital that someone can sift through the info and present you with what is relevant to your business in a timely manner. Digital curator-ship is fast catching on on the Internet and is becoming a necessity. Dave Duarte wrote an interesting post on curatorship and how it can help communities to thrive… we hope it catches on and we see a new group of guides emerging to help us around the web.
