Really enjoyed this post. I think you get a lot of things right. The “infobesity” concept seems a little shaky though… the ability to choose between mentally stimulating media and vapid, mind-numbing media has always been there, and the latter has always been the one being shoved down our throats.

As content creators and publishers, associations contribute to this staggering rate of information growth. As content aggregators, associations play a role in finding and organizing at least some of that material for their members. But neither of these functions wholly addresses the core problem today’s association stakeholders must confront: how to manage their finite human attention in the face of nearly infinite content creation and almost unlimited access.

About the Content Curator, I think the Maven (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maven) is a good term as well. It’s mentioned in The Tipping Point (Connectors, Mavens, and Salesmen).

Hope everything’s cool in California!
