I'm a big fan of content curation, hell, your reading this on my lifestream right now, a curation of my posts across various websites. To me, if you enjoy at topic, a curated source is the best way to get more of the stuff on the topic you love. Techmeme - tech news, Hacker News - programming, look at Reddit - it's full or subreddits all based on curation.

This is the first in a series of videos explaining the shifts we're seeing in the world of content creation. Curation has exploded with the growth of Twitter, Tumblr and now Pinterest. In this video, we wanted to try to get into the heads of some of our favorite curators to understand what makes them tick.
