this is a serious struggle i face, too. in my role i have to stay fresh and on top of large areas, new ideas, and what's coming next. curation, while tempting, leads to an echo chamber. i've built curation tools for the past ten years, mostly for myself (and they work really well, i share them with select friends), but ultimately i have to withstand the noise and dig out interesting stuff. i just triage quickly, to be honest, and i try not to rely on other people to do my curation for me (either crowd-based selection or manual selection). i can stil avoid much of the same old noise and debates but i get to see new ideas, perspectives, topics, and things. some of the links here have been great to see, however, and i will have to utilize them. thanks for sharing them.
