Someone recently commented on my post about curation. In part, the comment read, "Do you mean that it is the end result of the analytics phase, where relevant information on a specific topic is collected and acted upon?" The answer is yes and no, and I thought it would make a worthy topic to occupy the next couple of minutes. First, I was intrigued about the idea that curation might be "the end result of the analytics phase" because it implies that analytics is all that's important.
