What is *Curate This!* by Steven Rosenbaum about?

*Curate This!* explores the critical role of human-driven content curation in the digital age, arguing that algorithms alone cannot replicate the nuance of human judgment. Steven Rosenbaum provides frameworks for selecting, organizing, and presenting content effectively, with examples from platforms like BuzzFeed and YouTube. The book emphasizes curation as a skill for cutting through information overload and building trust with audiences.

Who should read *Curate This!*?

Marketers, content creators, entrepreneurs, and professionals navigating information overload will benefit most. It’s ideal for those seeking strategies to enhance brand authority through curated content or to streamline digital workflows. Rosenbaum’s insights are particularly valuable for individuals aiming to balance automation with human creativity in content strategy.

Is *Curate This!* worth reading?

Yes, particularly for its actionable advice on content curation. Rosenbaum blends theory with real-world examples, such as BuzzFeed’s viral success and YouTube’s user-generated content model. The book offers timeless principles for building audience trust, though some tech examples may feel dated (originally published in 2014).

What is the main argument in *Curate This!*?

Rosenbaum argues that curation requires a human touch to contextualize content meaningfully. While algorithms gather data, humans excel at identifying relevance, emotional resonance, and narrative flow—critical for engaging audiences. He positions curation as a solution to the “signal vs. noise” problem in the digital era.

What are the key concepts in *Curate This!*?

- **Curated Content Strategy**: Selecting high-value content and presenting it with context. - **Audience-Centric Curation**: Tailoring content to audience needs, as seen in MTV’s *Unfiltered*. - **The Three C’s**: Collect, Organize, Share—a framework for effective curation. - **Video Curation**: Leveraging user-generated video to enhance brand storytelling.

Who is Steven Rosenbaum, and what expertise does he bring?

Steven Rosenbaum is a media entrepreneur, Emmy-winning producer, and author of *Curation Nation*. He founded five media startups, including Magnify.net, and pioneered user-generated content with MTV’s *Unfiltered*. His work focuses on the intersection of technology, storytelling, and audience engagement.

How does the book differentiate human curation from algorithms?

Rosenbaum highlights humans’ ability to adapt to cultural context and emotional nuance, unlike rigid algorithms. For example, he critiques automated newsfeeds for prioritizing engagement over accuracy, advocating instead for hybrid models where humans guide algorithmic outputs.

What actionable strategies does *Curate This!* provide?

- Use video testimonials to showcase authentic customer experiences. - Build niche-focused content hubs (e.g., *The Huffington Post’s* verticals). - Implement “curated storytelling” by repurposing user-generated content. - Regularly audit content to align with audience interests.

The Digital Drowning: Finding Meaning in the Information Flood

00:00

We're drowning in content while starving for meaning. In a world where information doubles every 18-24 months, the ability to curate has become as essential as the ability to create. This isn't just about organizing information-it's about transforming chaos into clarity. Think about your own digital life: how many unread articles, unwatched videos, and forgotten bookmarks are piling up right now? The problem isn't access to information-it's finding what actually matters. Curation has evolved from a museum function to a critical digital literacy skill. Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian calls it "essential for anyone building community online," while major museums and media outlets like The Atlantic and Vox have transformed their approach to digital content through curation principles. The most valuable skill in our information-saturated world isn't producing more content-it's making sense of what already exists. When you scroll through your social media feed and instinctively know which stories deserve attention and which are noise, you're already curating. When you create a playlist that perfectly captures a mood or moment, you're curating. This natural human ability to find patterns in chaos has become our most valuable defense against information overload.
