"Curation is the act of individuals with a passion for a content area to find, contextualize, and organize information. Curators provide a consistent update regarding what’s interesting, happening, and cool in their focus. Curators tend to have a unique and consistent point of view—providing a reliable context for the content that they discover and organize"

The Curators and the Curated
At the heart of our conversation: the relationship between publishers of original content and the web’s most influential curators. Seems simple, right? Content creators get eyeballs and curators get work to share. But with some curators dwarfing publications in size and influence, and with some publishers investing heavily in curation projects of their own, that relationship is getting a little complicated. We’ll get our hands dirty and break down just how important curators and publishers are to each other, how money plays into things and how attribution has become a lost art. Other fun stuff you’ll learn: what makes a curator influential, how content-creators can be curator friendly (and vice versa), and the evolving distinction between curation and aggregation.

"está muy bien porque no es sólo un blog, integra mucho a la comunidad de tumblrers, puedes seguir a la gente que te mole muy fácilmente, repostear lo que te guste, marcar favoritos, etc. En eso y en las etiquetas se parece mucho a twitter, eso sí peca un poco de superficial, igual que twitter son mensajes cortos, tumblr son imágenes, hay cientos de tumblrs que son sólo eso, imágenes, pero eso también puede tener su aquél."

8 razones para odiar Tumblr
… en Tumblr escribir es muy mala idea, ya que su misma dinámica de red social, ha acostumbrado a los usuarios a estar de paso solamente en los “blogs” hay fotos bonitos, las comparto de una, no hay nada bonito, chao. Es decir, está hecho para fotografías y vídeos, no para texto.
(…) Creeme no querrás que tu blog lo vean un montón de niños inmaduros que creen que bloguear es sencillamente reproducir el contenido de otros de manera viral.”

Tumblr's Roadmap Heads Straight for the Creative Community
One new hire who will be working extensively in events and community is Rich Tong, Tumblr’s fashion director. We’re not aware of any other startup outside of the fashion world that has a fashion director; but we suppose that’s the point: Tumblr doesn’t see itself as being outside the fashion world or any other creative community.

Tumblr Introduces Curation Feature That Encourages Users To Tag Posts
I don’t know about most users, but I never visit the front page of tumblr unless I’m on a computer that isn’t my own. Even then, my main goal is to log in and see what everyone I follow has posted.
I’m more likely to find content from it being reblogged or have it being shown on the Radar of my Dashboard.
Tumblr is about community, not publicity.
