Content curation is the process of sorting through the vast amounts of content on the web and presenting it in a meaningful and organized way around a specific theme. The work involves sifting, sorting, arranging, and publishing information.

The making sense piece is really important. I think we know what to do in the SEEK part and the SHARE is also pretty self explanatory.

SENSE is the part where some great web tools can help us.

Different tools for different purposes.

Evernote can do lots of these combined, but can be overwhelming.
