    Hey Matt,

    I read this piece and it is really a mind bender. Not only are there a ton of interesting comment’s, but I was really astounded by the complexity of this entire issue. Let me know if you happen to comment on the article at the guardian. I would be interested in responding to your comment there. I think as curators it is important for us to realize why we are curating things and what real advantages can be ascertained from the process. Great curation!
