with recognition and thanks to Rheingold & Weeks: Net Smart: How to Thrive Online Curating Information Atoms & Molecules A tweet is an atom. A photo on Flickr is an atom. A conversation item on Google Buzz is an atom. A Facebook status message is an atom. A YouTube video is an atom. Thousands of these atoms flow across our screens in tools like Seesmic, Google Reader, Tweetdeck, Tweetie, Simply Tweet, Twitroid, etc. A curator is an information chemist. He or she mixes atoms together in a way to build an info-molecule. Then adds value to that molecule. - Robert ScobleRobert Scoble Image Source: Wikimedia Commons

If you want to curate, “pick something very specific and become the world authority on [it]. Totally cover it. Own that small niche.” - Robert Scoble quoted in Rhiengold, NetSmart If you were going to curate anything, what would it be? What would it take to “cover it”?

A study published last year in Psychological Science showed that students who write out notes longhand remember conceptual information better than those who take notes on a computer. "Whereas taking more notes can be beneficial," the article’s abstract reported, "laptop note takers’ tendency to transcribe lectures verbatim rather than processing information and reframing it in their own words is detrimental to learning.“ http://m.chronicle.com/article/The-Benefits-of-No-Tech-Note/228089/

Researchers asked 96 undergraduates, who had worn a sleep-monitoring device the night before, to sit at a computer and pay close attention to a 42- minute lecture by a professor (whom they were told was being considered for a job). The students were left alone for this task, which required considerable concentration and patience, but any web surfing they did was monitored. As predicted, the less students had slept the night before, the more they were likely to wander off from their assigned task. Conversely, every minute of sleep meant.05 fewer minutes surfing. http://chronicle.com/blogs/profhacker/the-hidden-cause-of-aimless-surfing/38865
