In reply to Amy Sample Ward. I agree with you, Amy, about Pinterest. I think people are using it just to collect images they like, not necessarily to curate "the best of." Bookmarking and curating seem related, where bookmarking is mostly personal (even when it's social) and curating is mostly public. There are so many options now, and I feel like the services (Delicious, Diigo, Annotary, Scoop.it, Snip.it, Bundlr, Clipboard, Springpad, Pinterest, Evernote) often overlap.

Pinterest has just updated their terms of service with some important changes, including: “Our original Terms stated that by posting content to Pinterest you grant Pinterest the right for us to sell your content. Selling content was never our intention and we removed this from our updated Terms.”

In reply to Guest. I am all about social sharing! That's why content I publish on this blog is licensed through Creative Commons to be free and shared alike. The aspects of the terms of service that have people worried about Pinterest is that they include language about selling content on Pinterest. You may be in support of social sharing, but you may not want Pinterest making money off of your work that you wanted to provide for free to the world.

UGH, this whole topic just sickens me! Not that what you have said isn’t something worth thinking about, but I just don’t understand why there is any issue at all, with any sort of social netoworking – leave social to being social – “SOCIAL”

The way I see it, is any type if social networking is no different from expressing something we like, enjoy, are curious about, etc – from our home, one-on-once conversations, thoughts, feelings, etc.

Are you next going to tell me that because I love a certain artist, I can’t hang their painting in my home because if others see it, I might be fined for sharing it socially? Or will I no longer be able to play a CD if I have “friends” around because the can hear it and therefore I’m sharing it socially?

This is ridiculous – only good things come from social sharing. How many companies and individuals careers have sky-rocketed from networking – word of mouth, etc etc….

If anything, social networks are giving free miles, free exposure, free advertisement… it doesn’t stop, and you’re getting it all for nothing.

And I have to stop that bit there…

But lastly – it all boils down to greed. When we become greedy, all good things become clouded. It’s a demolition propelled by greed, it doesn’t matter what reasoning is in the path, it will destroy itself.

Amy – great post. I couldn’t agree more! We’ve just created a new resource – Apricot Jam (http://www.wildapricot.com/apricot-jam)- to replace our community site – Association Jam. We curate and filter content using Delicious and have a feed embedded in our Wild Apricot website linking to the stacks we’ve created.

[…] Lately, we’ve watched as images – from photos to infographics – have taken over the web. As photos take over Facebook newsfeeds and Pinterest explodes, I see so many people trying to accomodate an image-centric process into their digital curation. Have I lost you yet with all the buzz words and slang? Stick with me. Pinterest or Delicious: Social Bookmarking Coming back as Digital Curation […]
