How to monetize the curation economy, social communities & online learning
by Zoe Chew (3min)
It’s just as hard to build a mediocre company as a transformative one. Both will take 100% of your time. So you might as well work on a bigger idea. New social networking platforms will focus on community-first, invite-only, curated discovery, shared activities, and unique social experiences. Curators are becoming the new creators. Help others to curate resources and make money.

Twitter and Tumblr saw declining shares of teens who report using their platforms. Two of the platforms the Center tracked in the earlier survey – Vine and Google+ – no longer exist.
