Presentation given at WebCom Montreal, November 16, 2011 (content curation VS aggregation http://t.co/qFFzqBHwaa)
A comprehensive presentation on how to become a Curation King to build Thought Leadership by Corinne Weisgerber. Not recent (2011) but still totally relevant.
I totally agree with the depiction of curation: how different it is from aggregation; and how important it is for the curator to add a value above and beyond it's selection: context, perspective and organization. These, by the way, is the DNA of Scoop.it and the raison d'être of its "insight" box :)
I'd add to it that the curator can also have a message, a personal story (even subjective, even biased) on the topic he curates: he/she needs to be involved, passionate or expert - he/she is not just a collector.
This is why content curation is so beautifuly correlated to demonstrating thought leadership.
