The Content Strategist as Digital Curator
The term “curate” is the interactive world’s new buzzword.

What’s the law around aggregating news online? A Harvard Law report on the risks and the best practices
[So much of the web is built around aggregation — gathering together interesting and useful things from around the Internet and presenting them in new ways to an audience. It’s the foundation of blogging and social media.

Kimberley Isbell of our friends the Citizen Media Law Project has assembled a terrific white paper on the current state of the law surrounding aggregation — what courts have approved, what they haven’t, and where the (many) grey areas still remain. This should be required reading for anyone interested in where aggregation and linking are headed.
