One way to talk about the use of social content in learning is to talk of content 'curation'. I'm not really big on the idea, because it treats content as artifacts to be appraised, preserved, or accessed. I prefer to think of them as things you use, mix and transform. That said, Judy O'Connell provides us with a detailed look at social content curation, providing several 'levels' of curation activities. She writes, "Social content curation is about collecting, organising and sharing information – in a new package... I’m interested to see how (what I call) the third level curation evolves. I like the idea of socially connected ways of publishing ‘what’s new’ and ‘what’s newsworthy’ as an ‘aside’ to my ‘go-to’ information repository such as my social bookmarks."
