"Curate" (verb) is one of those words that has lost most of its meaning, due to people using it in order to steal its cachet. Previously it was associated with art museums and libraries, institutions of supreme cultural importance. Now that anyone can make a list and put it on the internet, anyone can be a curator, which means you don't get much information about someone if you learn that he is a "curator".

The funny thing is that is what Yahoo was in the very beginning, 15+ years ago.
