Seems like everyone is on the curation bandwagon, believing it is the be-all and end-all of online publishing. Well, I am going to explain just how stupid that line of thinking is.
First of all, think about this. Almost everything that has ever been published on the web is curated content.
Say what?
You got it right. Nearly everything is curated. In other words, there is not one word published on the ‘net that has not come from somewhere else, originally published by someone else.

Recently, I decided to explore using Google Alerts to come up with topics to write about (sorry, Zemanta, your suggestion email didn’t cut the mustard). As I was setting some simple alerts up (blogging, cycling, coding, etc.), I started thinking of other things I could use Google Alerts for – such as tracking certain website activities or competing businesses or sports teams or political issues – the list goes on and on.

I was waiting for a haircut yesterday at SportClips in Eagle. I read through all the latest Facebook posts available on my phone, then I changed the setting to show “a week” in stead of 3 days, and read through all the rest of them. Still bored. So, I picked up an issue of Eagle magazine and started flipping through the pages.
The thought, “Why can’t I write like that?” popped into my mind. The words and phrases just seemed to flow together, and in some cases, jumped off the page. The contributors to the magazine were far more adept at slinging words around than I.

A couple interesting articles from NewsMax.
First, Bill Clinton is now telling all of the anti-gun democrats and liberals to lighten up a bit. As he puts it, “A lot of these people live in a world very different from the world lived in by the people proposing these things. I know because I come from this world.” It’s one of the few things that Clinton has recently said that I can agree with 100%.
Is it real, or is it just a ploy to prepare the mid-terms for democrats by urging them to look like they’re moving toward the middle? Hmmmm…..

Jonathan Leger, on his blog, tells a cute story about social pressure. It goes something like this:
(A) research group went around neighborhoods in California and put one of four signs on people’s doors. Each sign encouraged the homeowner to conserve energy, and gave a reason to do so. The four reasons were: 1) to help the next generation, 2) to save money on your electricity bill, 3) to save the planet, and 4) because your neighbors are already doing it. After some time passed, the group went back to the houses and measured the electricity usage against the reading they took before putting up the signs.

What if you had ab IPO and nobody came?
Funny that both of these items hit my inbox today. Both are conspiratorial in nature.
First, from “American Breaking Point” comes the notion that “somehow” the powers-that-be (the hidden elite) are behind the meteoric rise of Facebook. I quote:
Read More...Why do we believe that Facebook is a kind of false flag? The biggest tip-off in our view is Facebook’s astonishing popularity. It’s simply another social networking site but it’s one that’s attracted nearly a billion users. Is it really so much better than other such facilities?
