Optimizing Search - Improving your curated product

I don't know about you but I often don't get things right the first time.  When I start a project - a blog, or a curation project on KBucket - I start with a topic , by creating a few categories to store my curated links .

What happens next is inevitable - as I curate my ideas on how to tag and organize changes.  Often the reason is because I can not find what I curated and that tells me that the tags and the grouping are not optimal and they need to change.

What is curation?

Curation is traditionally defined as “The act of organizing and maintaining a collection of artworks or artifacts”.

Curators are knowledgeable about their domain and hence the ability to pick the best work for a collection based on their research and knowledge of the subject matter.

Curation has two defined characteristics – organization and maintenance - Organization implies that you can always access the collection and know where things are - Maintenance implies that you can always add or subtract items in time.
