From Beth: You have to do both!
Nonprofits have limited time for curation - it is change to find ways to curate that are efficient - but not just retweeting.

Robin Good: Interesting discussion and video: is social media sharing equivalent to "curation"?
Is it more important to create or to curate?
"The SalesChaosTV guys, Dan Waldschmidt and Todd Schnick, bounce around content curation vs. content creation as means to an end in social media marketing today."
"Content creation or content curation? Are you a curator if you are retweeting the content of others?
Should you be retweeting it at all if you haven’t read it?"
Good points being made. 8/10

Social sharing, according to some, is a light form of curation, but to me the argument doesn't hold up, as curation is not determined by the sharing act, but by the purpose with which you collect and bring together information items that inform, or solve a problem on a specific topic for a specific audience.
Great point made here on both sides of the issue.
