I should say that when I refer to trend I mean pattern, not the glib use of the vernacular where it can mean superficially fashionable. I might step out on a limb and suggest that health curation may not best be done as a crowdsourced activity.</p> Thanks for your comment, Phil.

Curation adds value to the stream. Twitter Lists is a good example of this and will become more important as the stream grows.</p> Of course I agree with you and Phil on this.

What I think is happening now, is that real-time media are making it clearer that unless we have curated streams of content, we will enter a dangerous time for discovering reliable health care content.

Curation was always necessary – it's just that now bad content can spread as fast (in fact usually faster) than good.

So, yes, curation is a huge opportunity for developers to roll out social software where trusted communities can cultivate and grow and influence.

Important post!
