While trying to figure out if the word 'curations' was the correct thing to call the bits and pieces of stuff I save from around the web (I later decided to use the word Marginalia), I stumbled across an interesting article. It's is a bit old in Internet-time (2008), but it's very insightful. I love what Phil Meyer says in one of the comments regarding how the Internet is causing us to view information differently.
"It is a natural result of the shift from information scarcity to information overload. When information was scarce, journalism was mostly hunting and gathering. Now that information is plentiful, journalism has to shift to processing. Mindy's list enumerates many of the ways to add value through processing."
