Why does curation have time now?
How is the internet planned today?
Curation as a business model…the future is curated.
Content is the backbone of culture, and as emerging trends, technologies and business models emerge, curation will be a source of new identities, communities and entrepreneurial opportunities.
The growing importance of online identity, the rise of “nicheworks”.
As online identities become more important and consumers identify with their online identities and communities more than ever, curation has become a form of self-expression in between consumption and creation, Brian Solis reports fast company.
Steve Rosenbaum, author of Curation Nation, argues that the act of sharing on social media is fundamentally changing the structure of our online relationships, which can be explained by “social graph“or the graph of relationships among social media users, our social networks not only reflect people we know in real life, but as we share, we form new connections based on personal interests.
These resulting social graphs are called “Niche works,” a term coined by Brian Solis in his Fast Company article. The rise of these interest-based social graphs is reshaping behavior on social platforms. With the advent of new platforms, social network users are increasingly motivated to share content to their niche creations.
Content curators are motivated by their value in niche works and the ability to use curation to express their identities in those niche works.For example, gallery platforms such as OnCyber and Helico Enable NFT enthusiasts to share their collections in their NFT community by showcasing their favorite creations in a 3D gallery.
