I still don't really like the use of the word 'curate' to talk about what we do with learning artifacts - since what we should do with them is to mutilate them beyond all recognition in a creative frenzy, which is the opposite of curation, which implies picking the very best and preserving them for posterity. Curatr allows us to do a bit more than that - "What makes it social is that I can interact with each asset – leave comments, add content, share, etc. – they become more alive that way" - which is useful in its own right. But it's when I'm slicing and dicing them that resources really become alive for me. See also John Bersin on Curatr (guess they all got the same PR).
