Well, I thought I was learning about something big when I first read this book, but it turns out that I'm late to the game. Anyway, I'm glad to know what it is and think about how the idea is useful to my life. Pretty important stuff, I think, and this book explains both the theory and the mechanics.
It was interesting, well written and Easy to understand. It includes an index and a list of sources.
He does make good points for curation, but it seemed to ramble rather than give the advice implied in the subtitle. At least there is an index and chapters, but I think it would have been better to arrange the information into sections. One section for an overview to explain curation, one to advise how everyone can benefit from curated data (including a list of websites), and one with advise on how to use curation for businesses.
He did include stories of his experiences in TV, but didn't try to sell his own website too much.
I won this through the goodreads first reads program… (plus d'informations)

This is a fast and very readable work about the currency and value of curation within the media and information universe. In a world of infinite choice, context is the ultimate luxury and Rosenbaum seems convinced that providing it will fall more and more often to the consumers themselves. Not exhaustive, somewhat repetitive, but worthwhile for a plane flight. Bring your highlighter and save a few quotes and memes for your next board discussion.

Like reviewers who help us appreciate, discover, or avoid books, restaurants, and movies, adept curators help us make wise choices with limited time and resources to focus on information with high-value return. Curators who are focused on their own financial gain or shilling for a particular point-of-view will face a narrow audience or complete rejection. Good curators provide what we need, introduce us to obscure information, reveal developing issues or technology before it is mainstream, and make sense of the flood of information.
This is an excellent book on rise of data curation on the Internet and addresses content sharing issues and debates. The book also explores the challenges of how curation can or should look and where it is going. This is especially important for those developing an Internet channel.
