That - and the promise of a new content ecosystem - forms the backdrop to this talk that I presented to the BBC Online Briefing on Friday.
Steve Rosenbaum is the author of Curation Nation. He blogged here last week that Curation is King.

#bbconline @magnify Curation: 1. Original voice; 2. Separate signal from noise; 3. Distribute content where people are. @d_media_network - 2:03PM
