Curate v. /ˈkyo͝oˌrāt/

to select, organize, and present (suitable content, typically for online or computational use): nearly every major news organization is using Twitter’s new lists feature to curate tweets about the earthquake (as adjective curated) a curated alternative to the world’s most popular video portal

Really, there has to be a better way of keeping track of things...you should see my Google reader...truly awful. Whatever. I am bedazzled by the amount of information available online--sometimes the knowledge gaining excitement meter goes through the roof!

Cracked

Radiolab

Wired - Frontal Cortex

Sound Opinions

Design Scouting

We Are Hunted

The Writer's Almanac

Don't forget the daily Yahoo! Shine horoscope.

And a song:
