Shelly Palmer
"40 years ago, in his seminal book Future Shock, Alvin Toffler understood that those of us who live in mass-mediated cultures were destined to suffer from information overload. Obviously, he was right. Today, rather than try and limit the volume of media we consume, there's a new generation of content organizers who are finding, sorting, and sharing relevant content. The socialization of content amplifies strands that find their audience, and now with Steven Rosenbaum's new book -- curators have a hands-on, how-to guide for putting this theory into practice. Buy Curate This! it's a map to the future. I hope Mr. Toffler agrees."
