I keep to do lists, mega to do lists, grocery shopping lists, lists of restaurants and movies, and you get the picture. There is something zen about making a list – it clears my mind and it is very satisfying to cross things off your list or it saves times because you have a place to start. And, lists are easy to create.

Audience matters, and being mindful of what your community is interested in should inform the curation process. The most basic and commonly used tools include RSS readers, alerts, bookmarking sites, and Twitter lists. Sometimes curation means culling content and making connections not easily seen to present a unique narrative.

Only one of these four raises questions in mind about whether charitable assets might have gotten distributed in questionable ways.
