Excerpt from a long, extremely well-considered post:

"...More important is the possibility that we can actually co-create new media ecosystems. Fathom that.

These ecosystems have already gained momentum with profound effect in the educational space, and are flourishing in world-building features that can translate across “mass” mediums found in entertainment – ABC Kids TV Online is one example.

And of course, what this could do for global business leaves much to the imagination... (My upcoming book, A Literacy of the Imagination: Storytelling Approaches for the Collaborative Economy will address these dynamics in great detail).

So perhaps now we can divorce ourselves from looking at curation as a form of filtering and/or aggregating content, and more as a means for co-creating and delivering experiences of tremendous cultural value...."
