For example, I’m going to help you become a curator for Internet content!
Ever heard of a “curator”? The word usually refers to the head of a museum, but it can also mean someone who gathers things for others.

I understand my definition of curation leaves something to be desired.
That is why I am providing a link to a video by Percolate that should help explain it better!

Now that you know what curation is, you are probably wondering why you should do so.
Simply put, Curation makes things easier for others, such as your coworkers, friends, and classmates, to find information regarding a specific topic.

So how does one curate?

You probably already are! If you share a link on Twitter, then you’ve already curated.

Likewise, you can also use Pinterest to quickly compile resources as well as find ideas for your own use.

For a more professional application, I recommend Bundlr (which is not in anyway related to Tumblr). It can let you search through numerous blogs and websites to find the information you need.
