There was recently a post in HN called "There is too much stuff". It revolved around the massive amount of unnecessary physical goods we need to shift through to find what we are looking for. I believe the same thing happens with content. There is way more content out there that I would like to consume than my time allows. Is not rare to make my way through an article or a 1 hour talk and think 'oh well, that was a waste of time'. Or content that has pieces that I do find interesting, but is so padded that makes the whole investment not worth it. Currently I am reading Domain Drive Design, and I didn't find insights that I consider useful after well over a third into the book (500+ pages total). I do believe that content curation is one of the most promising fields in the near future, and it will involve a mix of human and technological solutions. This might include not only the act of recommending content, but possibly modifying said content for the user (e.g. summaries, highlights, etc.). In comparison, current recommendation systems are a pure joke.
