Video Title "What is Curation?" Invites a Question about Audience

As I opened the weekly update from Brainpickings this morning, I saw this delightful video on curation
which has been on my mind ever since I read about the concept in  Gregory Ulmer's book ten years ago.



What is Curation? from Percolate on Vimeo.

Brainpickings notes this is the first of a series of videos on curation from this group. I think a key takeaway from this video is that we may select things for ourselves, but thinking about audience is key to understanding how it may be of interest to others (like ourselves, or our customers as the case may be).

I would say that my audience is others who are studying the e-age for the sake of learning that will allow us to work and live smarter --looking forward to more of these videos.
