David Balzer: If we're all curators, maybe none of us are
Has "curation" become something of an empty buzzword?
From deciding which articles to flag for our Facebook friends, to sharing our latest YouTube playlists, we're constantly expressing our individual interests. So, as we put our preferences on increasingly public display, can we call ourselves curators?
David Balzer doesn't think so. The author, editor and teacher argues that curation has become something of an empty buzzword. If we're all curating in the same way, perhaps the idea of curation has lost its meaning.
