0:00:00.989,0:00:07.989 the the the howard rheingold 0:00:16.260,0:00:17.940 we're talking with Robin good 0:00:17.940,0:00:22.090 about curation so on Robin I love you 0:00:22.090,0:00:26.640 your series of articles I'm I'm highly[br]recommend them I just wanted to get that 0:00:26.640,0:00:29.110 directly from you a few thoughts about 0:00:29.110,0:00:34.390 curation online starting with what do[br]you think the importance in the places 0:00:34.390,0:00:38.230 curation is died today from for anybody[br]who's online 0:00:38.230,0:00:42.300 I think I'll you could see it this way 0:00:42.300,0:00:45.980 I'll we've reached some mild eliminate[br]are via 0:00:45.980,0:00:49.100 understanding and making sense of the[br]information 0:00:49.100,0:00:53.000 just by going out to Google typing out[br]that query 0:00:53.000,0:00:58.130 and getting listing of things that could[br]be relevant to us 0:00:58.130,0:01:02.469 I think we this is like you know I V 0:01:02.469,0:01:05.640 being hungry and going to McDonalds you[br]know it's 0:01:05.640,0:01:10.470 foss food information bat I'll I want[br]something more like 0:01:10.470,0:01:15.100 when I go to a restaurant I can choose[br]it everest an iTablet foods that quality 0:01:15.100,0:01:18.640 level at the type of customer service[br]and so on so 0:01:18.640,0:01:23.640 I am looking for a new level love but[br]accessing information whereby 0:01:23.640,0:01:28.190 I'm not just trying to list and rank[br]information but in trying to make sense 0:01:28.190,0:01:31.869 of the information this is what people[br]want more and more 0:01:31.869,0:01:36.470 because one article by itself are[br]already link or are we so sorry video 0:01:36.470,0:01:38.009 sometimes is just a little 0:01:38.009,0:01:42.590 Albany holding to understanding that[br]I'll be quiet if there was some kind of 0:01:42.590,0:01:44.030 intermediate layer 0:01:44.030,0:01:47.490 whether don by an allegory dome 0:01:47.490,0:01:51.959 or by people contributing and working[br]with an algorithm to collect 0:01:51.959,0:01:55.700 things to make sense on a certain topic[br]I think we would be 0:01:55.700,0:01:59.080 I in a you not in a position 0:01:59.080,0:02:03.649 to inform and learn much faster much[br]better than we can do now 0:02:03.649,0:02:06.709 what qualities do you think I'm 0:02:06.709,0:02:10.288 I a curator ought to have well 0:02:10.288,0:02:13.620 is get to be somewhat OVA 0:02:13.620,0:02:18.720 very curious percent and I'm passionate[br]per se in the area outweigh wants to 0:02:18.720,0:02:19.510 curate 0:02:19.510,0:02:23.290 I don't think he can just go about your[br]rating 0:02:23.290,0:02:27.569 atopy because you wake up and that's[br]something you want to do well 0:02:27.569,0:02:31.040 you certainly can and gain confidence we[br]need we time with you 0:02:31.040,0:02:34.200 it would be best that you going to rate[br]something that you're already very 0:02:34.200,0:02:36.640 passionate about that you'd be exposed[br]to 0:02:36.640,0:02:40.280 so that you have some sensitivity some[br]antennas data 0:02:40.280,0:02:43.590 allow you to understand what he's good 0:02:43.590,0:02:48.250 what is better because then it becomes a[br]point of four you doing this for you 0:02:48.250,0:02:50.890 just an artist's painting something for[br]yourself 0:02:50.890,0:02:54.480 or your trading something for a specific[br]audiences 0:02:54.480,0:02:57.819 trying to intercept a specific need and[br]resolve it 0:02:57.819,0:03:02.629 week that to channeled information so I[br]would think that 0:03:02.629,0:03:06.159 knowing the audience and being an expert[br]on the topic 0:03:06.159,0:03:11.359 helps someone shoe rate whatever type of[br]the information items he has at his 0:03:11.359,0:03:13.950 disposal that that setting karnicki 0:03:13.950,0:03:16.950 an immense then you you gotta be very[br]transparent 0:03:16.950,0:03:20.700 and dad give full credit to whoever you[br]are 0:03:20.700,0:03:25.640 gathering in and expose actually the[br]best buddies up the sources in people 0:03:25.640,0:03:29.489 and add something of your own that he is[br]d 0:03:29.489,0:03:34.430 ultimate quality of the curator is like[br]that one for Addie J 0:03:34.430,0:03:37.450 I mean what's the difference between[br]putting out and make state 0:03:37.450,0:03:42.430 and a live DJ I think those same[br]qualities apply somewhat to a content 0:03:42.430,0:03:42.980 curator 0:03:42.980,0:03:47.430 it is the ability to listen closely to[br]what I of volumes at the moment he's 0:03:47.430,0:03:48.150 serving 0:03:48.150,0:03:52.579 and and providing a context so that the[br]type of information ease or she's 0:03:52.579,0:03:53.329 collecting 0:03:53.329,0:03:56.980 make sense to them so you may have to[br]change titles may take 0:03:56.980,0:04:01.129 change descriptions images order how he[br]just oppose things 0:04:01.129,0:04:05.959 but you have to customize the flow for[br]that purpose the man 0:04:05.959,0:04:10.829 public you're doing that for Jordan who[br]who you are. should come 0:04:10.829,0:04:13.859 come through just to some degree your 0:04:13.859,0:04:17.810 your sensibility and your your point of[br]view aren't you 0:04:17.810,0:04:21.329 not be completely suppressed when you're[br]your jury 0:04:21.329,0:04:25.700 they may be different instances any 0:04:25.700,0:04:28.700 situations business why is 0:04:28.700,0:04:33.990 a a sure research and information[br]activities 0:04:33.990,0:04:38.539 how he may vary our I wouldn't be so[br]sure that all the time you'd have to 0:04:38.539,0:04:39.150 bring 0:04:39.150,0:04:42.599 out your personality but that 0:04:42.599,0:04:46.690 there is no way that you can not somehow[br]stand in some position 0:04:46.690,0:04:50.580 cell them would be a generic position it[br]may be a bit more 0:04:50.580,0:04:55.330 I def I'm positions for those who have[br]had it all to take political stances or 0:04:55.330,0:04:56.840 research things where their 0:04:56.840,0:05:01.419 opal's Inc views but again there you may[br]be a great reader by just sending out 0:05:01.419,0:05:02.710 for your position 0:05:02.710,0:05:06.030 or maybe even a better curator by[br]creating 0:05:06.030,0:05:10.220 all the positions that out there and[br]allowing people to discover which ones 0:05:10.220,0:05:13.729 it's best for their money both of them[br]are valid to me 0:05:13.729,0:05:18.289 are a woman what is your advice to do to[br]people about how to go about this and be 0:05:18.289,0:05:21.830 I know %um a very detailed workflow you[br]just 0:05:21.830,0:05:25.379 someone wants to go ahead and start[br]curating in the butt 0:05:25.379,0:05:28.520 a passion for subject in some knowledge[br]about it would out 0:05:28.520,0:05:31.960 how they go about 0:05:31.960,0:05:35.099 the first thing you want to do is to 0:05:35.099,0:05:38.160 collect your so say risk your 0:05:38.160,0:05:41.970 the places where you're going to gather[br]that information you wanna start from 0:05:41.970,0:05:44.849 some basis at these may be some blogs 0:05:44.849,0:05:47.879 I some video channels says some 0:05:47.879,0:05:51.229 tweet their personalities fun pages 0:05:51.229,0:05:54.460 anything especially that he's capable of[br]producing 0:05:54.460,0:05:58.069 on RSS feed in is very useful for 0:05:58.069,0:06:01.240 cue Radian creating channels on the[br]information dedicated to a specific 0:06:01.240,0:06:02.930 topic 0:06:02.930,0:06:07.129 you you want them to become familiar[br]with something that the ski 0:06:07.129,0:06:10.800 a and technically beat for it was[br]difficult to understand is what I call a 0:06:10.800,0:06:15.780 persistent search that is the ability to[br]set out a search for a topic 0:06:15.780,0:06:20.379 and be alerted any time something comes[br]up so that you can discover 0:06:20.379,0:06:24.379 new things but you can discover also[br]news sources for information that you 0:06:24.379,0:06:27.039 may not be aware of 0:06:27.039,0:06:31.569 eddie Van Ness when you bring together[br]different sources 0:06:31.569,0:06:35.000 ones you know that once you're going to[br]discover gradually 0:06:35.000,0:06:38.509 it the core part of your job is 0:06:38.509,0:06:44.009 to select to pick does that really count[br]in again to customize them 0:06:44.009,0:06:48.539 personalizing for your audience for this[br]specific communication 0:06:48.539,0:06:51.979 objective yes it out for yourself with[br]that channel or stream of the 0:06:51.979,0:06:54.009 information you're creating 0:06:54.009,0:07:00.120 so in the job to describe is as simple[br]as that you you may want and to 0:07:00.120,0:07:04.479 share this information to package it[br]happened distributed in different ways 0:07:04.479,0:07:04.810 but 0:07:04.810,0:07:08.849 the core elements are basically does[br]once they're 0:07:08.849,0:07:12.169 so many people then just worry about 0:07:12.169,0:07:17.189 a what is the tool that can do all the[br]stuff in a simple way without needing me 0:07:17.189,0:07:20.330 to know HTML RSS tags at 0:07:20.330,0:07:24.250 persistent searches and so on so let me[br]get a right to that 0:07:24.250,0:07:27.689 and dat is if I were to advise 0:07:27.689,0:07:31.680 a tool that I am NOT associated with[br]commercially they think helps anyone 0:07:31.680,0:07:33.280 who's in all this 0:07:33.280,0:07:36.479 to get good grapes all what 0:07:36.479,0:07:39.710 curating information can do when I can[br]be done 0:07:39.710,0:07:43.129 is the one you're using yourself since a[br]few days and that's cool beat 0:07:43.129,0:07:47.280 as see okie .it 0:07:47.280,0:07:50.560 that's just bury simple to use free tool 0:07:50.560,0:07:54.970 that allows you to aggregate fielder's[br]church put together information even 0:07:54.970,0:07:56.599 layout and publish it 0:07:56.599,0:07:59.789 within a workflow that is extremely easy 0:07:59.789,0:08:02.949 an almost intuitive to pick up 0:08:02.949,0:08:06.259 and %uh I also likes kinda the community[br]feature a Scooby 0:08:06.259,0:08:10.250 im at the am there are people can cook[br]can 0:08:10.250,0:08:13.800 recommend sources to you and then you[br]have a stream sources 0:08:13.800,0:08:17.080 besides the ones that you gone out and[br]and found 0:08:17.080,0:08:20.550 that you can go through and you can[br]either I'm use them 0:08:20.550,0:08:24.460 you can discard them or you can say and[br]when used as source anymore so 0:08:24.460,0:08:27.710 use dream become smarter as you as you[br]you 0:08:27.710,0:08:32.030 mercury did is a tool I like a lot too 0:08:32.030,0:08:36.390 yes but there are actually very many[br]tula in de- 0:08:36.390,0:08:40.169 if you recall on 2005 ahead 0:08:40.169,0:08:44.870 what was the did montel the ID March or[br]April I was in San Francisco with you on 0:08:44.870,0:08:49.130 mountain time of bias we were talking[br]for the first time in that beautiful 0:08:49.130,0:08:54.120 scenery aboul what we discussed in now[br]that he's news Gration 0:08:54.120,0:08:58.710 and you with leukemia me and wondering[br]where their 0:08:58.710,0:09:03.100 that made any sense at I'm so glad that[br]that this time has passed and it's 0:09:03.100,0:09:05.040 become a reality I was 0:09:05.040,0:09:09.160 Solex I did last year and in the last[br]few months where 0:09:09.160,0:09:13.830 about sixty Diff'rent corporation[br]content curation tools have come out 0:09:13.830,0:09:15.090 that created that 0:09:15.090,0:09:18.680 at map you've probably seen which update[br]every weekend 0:09:18.680,0:09:21.860 and what is surprising ease now all[br]these different 0:09:21.860,0:09:24.980 areas for content curation because we[br]study 0:09:24.980,0:09:30.720 RSS curating content in news creating[br]news Raiders as they call them specific 0:09:30.720,0:09:32.040 thematic channels but 0:09:32.040,0:09:35.240 now there's a universe of other[br]possibilities that is 0:09:35.240,0:09:38.530 that is DVD a curation they resell 0:09:38.530,0:09:42.360 product curation these fashion duration[br]which is 0:09:42.360,0:09:46.280 fantastic go in CT said it's called[br]police for 0:09:46.280,0:09:49.560 PE ow.ly voor E 0:09:49.560,0:09:54.160 and see what people can do to a team[br]together different fashion elements like 0:09:54.160,0:09:56.070 shoes & jewelry 0:09:56.070,0:09:59.810 and attic gadgets and create day who[br]radiate 0:09:59.810,0:10:05.640 sets said that it really a interesting[br]and visually appealing 0:10:05.640,0:10:11.030 you so I think the horizon easy and[br]understanding that basically anything 0:10:11.030,0:10:15.380 can be curated doesn't have to be on the[br]news you can create stuff that 0:10:15.380,0:10:18.420 doesn't be doesn't have to be connected[br]tweet their 0:10:18.420,0:10:21.580 or staff detachments right at this[br]moment me 0:10:21.580,0:10:25.410 even collecting and curating what he's[br]out there for the past 0:10:25.410,0:10:29.710 I we've got into the DL situation from[br]the beginning until now 0:10:29.710,0:10:33.820 it's something useful and I think that[br]direction of the future 0:10:33.820,0:10:37.320 ease if not for Google for us to create 0:10:37.320,0:10:42.160 an alternative titles Google where we[br]can cooperatively 0:10:42.160,0:10:45.840 curating information that is out there[br]think for a moment 0:10:45.840,0:10:52.740 if instead of depending of secret[br]algorithms to decide for us 0:10:52.740,0:10:57.820 what is relevant we could choose[br]individually each one of us 0:10:57.820,0:11:00.960 we charge a ranking elements we want to[br]use 0:11:00.960,0:11:04.750 or tap into your lines and the one of my[br]friend and the other friend 0:11:04.750,0:11:08.230 and create our own eco-system I'll 0:11:08.230,0:11:13.230 but she rated algorithm sir curated[br]collections have information on how to 0:11:13.230,0:11:14.640 make sense of reality 0:11:14.640,0:11:19.990 instead of depending of somebody or[br]depends on profits and as clues 0:11:19.990,0:11:24.170 is clue simply on its own earnings to[br]decide what's best for us and that's 0:11:24.170,0:11:29.880 absurd for me because the world s now[br]lives in an economy the information we 0:11:29.880,0:11:31.660 depend so much I needed 0:11:31.660,0:11:34.900 it is not just a matter of doing a[br]business online it's a matter 0:11:34.900,0:11:39.740 of allow each I each one of us like to[br]breathe get water 0:11:39.740,0:11:43.720 to be able to access information and[br]make some good use of it 0:11:43.720,0:11:48.570 I don't know it and it and agree with[br]these are not but to me it's a planetary 0:11:48.570,0:11:52.200 question that two people should start to[br]addressing 0:11:52.200,0:11:56.760 yes that's why I think it a a[br]fundamental literacy about duration is 0:11:56.760,0:11:58.930 something that everybody ought to know[br]about it min 0:11:58.930,0:12:02.240 not just for specialists just like there[br]are 0:12:02.240,0:12:07.060 our web sites did get a lot of traffic[br]there are too many many many web sites 0:12:07.060,0:12:10.990 that may not get the huge amount of[br]traffic but we wouldn't have the really 0:12:10.990,0:12:12.120 rich 0:12:12.120,0:12:15.360 eco-system online if we didn't have so[br]many 0:12:15.360,0:12:19.910 contributors so I I really like your[br]division which YouTube resent to 0:12:19.910,0:12:23.980 so enthusiastically in passionately I'm[br]I really population of 0:12:23.980,0:12:27.990 a few readers that its it's not just for[br]the individuals is further 0:12:27.990,0:12:31.680 the whole system I'm make it much much[br]richer 0:12:31.680,0:12:36.630 then than it is already yeah we want to[br]have different points of view all week 0:12:36.630,0:12:37.820 dust that mean 0:12:37.820,0:12:41.120 as should you formation ranking be 0:12:41.120,0:12:45.470 I on-demand fundamentalist religion[br]because 0:12:45.470,0:12:50.050 what is that I mean if there is one[br]entity that secretly knows what is true 0:12:50.050,0:12:50.940 or not 0:12:50.940,0:12:55.130 isn't that religion so I don't want to[br]depend on some religious organization to 0:12:55.130,0:12:55.780 the sale 0:12:55.780,0:13:00.100 what's out there and I want to be able[br]to tap on different points of views that 0:13:00.100,0:13:02.010 want to be able to contribute 0:13:02.010,0:13:06.480 12 other people understand what I have[br]discovered and the system we
