Steve Rosenbaum comes back on why we have information overload but perhaps more interestingly explains why we'll solve it and what are the new laws that will govern this new content economy. 

The 4th law in particular is interesting as very close to our own humanrithm vision: "Curation requires technology and tools to find, filter, and validate content at the speed of the real-time web. Curation can’t simply be a human with a web browser — the mix of man and machine is essential here."

He also describes the profile of these new digital curations and their motivations: "Curators need to be paid to be part of the emerging ecosystem" - not necessarily with cash but through ego, personal development or marketing outcomes.

In a word, content curation can be and will be rewarding.

That one graph summarizes very nicely the recent history of the media industry. And if you add Facebook's digital ad sales to the graph (a few billions and probably already bigger than the whole newspaper digital sales or soon to be), you see how newspapers are heavily challenged for readers attention.
