I aspire to curation but at the moment I am still grappling with what the stream can technically reflect. One thing it is not capturing at the moment is my process while I am reading. I know I can synthesize my reading in a blog but, for example, yesterday I was outlining Poster’s article and that is not reflected in my stream. That is my reading process – I outline an article using MindManager – to understand the writer’s argument and then I reflect. Sometimes while outlining it triggers ideas which should go in the stream. I think with Tumbler, I could extract a quote and make a quick comment but I am not that familiar with Tumbler. I suppose I could do that with the blog. It is just getting comfortable with playing with these tools.

And will this comment appear in my lifestream! Probably not. Hence it is copied and pasted here.
