Building your own customized network involves taking advantage of curators who can collect, organize, connect, attribute, interpret, and summarize vast amounts of information for you from sources like your desk, feed, books, and articles. You can also become a curator yourself for a particular niche or area of expertise, disseminating resources, adding value, and presenting information in different lights or media to create connections for others. Real-time curation allows you to participate virtually in events you cannot attend or act as a bridge for your network to participate in events you can attend.
