You can call it curation if you want and thats fine. I think with aggregation comes a responsibility for pattern finding as well. Its not enought to just present the naked information. Besides responsibility I think it makes sense, it makes business sense.

- mattdennewitz 17y agoyes: blindly aggregate the data, present the trends as they happen, and let the user filter for what they want. it's not a river's responsibility to present a miner with a nugget of gold.
- voidfiles 17y agoYou are right I would never ask a river to think, but aggregators aren't rivers they are companys, filled with people. I think it behooves a company to help its customers/consumer organize there data. Help them spot trends, highlight trends, segment data. You aren't forcing a user to look at data in a certain way you are helping them build a better net. So in your analogy, I think we need a 3rd entity a expedition leader, or a guide that helps spot good places in the river to go for gold.
