In the late 1900's, during World War I, a young American was injured and spent 6 months in a French Hospital. While there, the idea for a magazine was born that may have popularized content curation.

This was a nice trip to history class. I did not expect that content curation would be born out of something so cruel like war. If that guy wouldn't have been injured, well, there won't be any blogs and all that.

Teepu: I agree with your comment. Fascinating history about the background of Reader's Digest.

Mike: Do you think that Reader's Digest and other mainstream publications have been good at curating stuff in the new media way?
