with your network”

if we paused the web for 60 seconds...
we would miss more than 1500 new blog posts,
almost 100,000 new tweets,
20,000 posts on Tumblr,
600 new videos (>24 hours) uploaded to YouTube
and at least 3,000 new images on Flickr.-Gizmodo
(also see 24 Hours of Flickr Photos exhibit)
... and in the past month
3 billion photos and
20 million videos have been
uploaded to Facebook

GOAL:
LOW volume
HIGH relevancy
2 opportunities for learners...

70% Surfing Rule
“...if you surf vs. subscribe, you will spend at least 70% of your online time consuming interesting instead of actionable information, and 70% of the time, you won’t return to the task you initially set out to complete.
12 Filtering Tips for Better Information in Half the Time
Useful curation tools:
Google Reader is an RSS reader that enables you to collect all of your RSS feeds in one place
(available in Google bar under More tab)
StumbleUpon helps you to discover web pages, photos and videos recommended by friends

NEWER curation tools:
Paper.li turns selected posts from your Twitter, Facebook or Google+ stream
into an online newspaper
Scoop.it find the things that interest you and turn them into a visual, online magazine
PearlTrees organize, discover and share everything you like on the web
