“Curation” may be an unfamiliar word for most people.
Indeed I had heard it in a book last year for the first time. It is “The Age of
Curator” written by Mr. Toshinao Sasaki.

Mr. Toshinao Sasaki is a freelance journalist and a curator. He use his own twitter account (@sasakitoshinao) and he introduce several valuable information via twitter every morning.
Originally, the word “curator” is used to show a person
who work in a museum of library and administer materials and resources belongs
to the institution. However recently a person who collect information and extract
valuable ones from it is also called curator.
Modern world is full of information. So to distinguish
and rank them is important skill. Newly curators is so called a guide of the
ocean of information.
Now, there are several internet services of curation. Using
them enable us to get information of high quality for free. I like “Gunosy” the
best of them.
To use Gunosy, you need only the account of
Twitter or Facebook. Gunosy automatically investigates your timeline. According
to the result of analysis Gunosy recommend a total 20 of webpages that may be
curious for you every day. For my impression, selection of Gunosy is very precise.
So I can read my own e-magazine edited for me.
Not so long time have passed since newly curator
was born. But it is going to be replaced by computer.
