Just joined up in the 'Humans Versus Robots - Who Curates the Real-Time Web?' Panel at #SXSWi .. Should be a good one #hvr cc: @curativeapp

#hvr At Humans Versus Robots. Excited to hear from @keepstream @trapit @massrelevance and @storify on the topic! #curation

Figured out at the last second that other panel was about basic security. I audible into a discussion of the real-time web. #hvr #SxSW

team binary!!!! #hvr

Surprised there are not more people in the only 'Content Curation' related panel at #SXSWi #HVR - Next year will be a different story. :)

#hvr we have to pick #teamcarbon vs #teambinary happy to be a #geek #sxsw

I'm a HUGE fan of @Storify. Here are some links I've saved about its general awesomeness. http://bit.ly/hBynOM #hvr

There better be some damn robots in this session. #hvr

Agreed, humans and machines can get along! I believe in curation and conflict only happens in sci fi movies. #hvr

Decker: Amount of content on Web is like SXSW. Too much to follow, hard to track it all. #hvr

Decker: It has to be a mix of automated vs. human element. #hvr

Seems like the same terms in vogue are overused. I've heard "Curation" more in the last 3 months than I have the last 3 years #sxswi #hvr

Great Panel on 'Content Curation' with @megan @JimEngland @xdamman @henryhank @samdecker #SXSWi #SXSW #hvr

#hvr "The best way to get a message across is with the voice of others." - @samdecker

Damman: Hashtags are known to geeks, not populace. We don't just tell people to search hash when news breaks. Need human selection. #hvr

The panel of Humans vs Robots #hvr #SXSW http://t.co/kkg8ifj

"My definition of a geek: you know what a hashtag is." -- @xdamman at #sxsw #hvr

@xdamman agreed, most don't know what a hashtag is. That is why the "machine" should be able to curate regardless: #hvr

There is a gap between what's happening on social media and what the greater public knows about #hvr #sxsw

@megan, good point. Twitter is not the only part of the real-time web. #hvr

Ugc called noise by the algo rep #hvr

Curation of realtime web not really a battle of humans/robots: solution is the million dollar man: human with enhanced curation senses. #hvr

Hashtags will go through cycle of adoption like everything else though (assuming Twitter doesn't die a horrible #failwhale death). #hvr

Nothhaft is firmly sticking up for the robots here. Skynet will spare him after Judgment Day. #hvr

Be great to hear panelists' thoughts on source-based vs. topic-based aggregation as a means of curation #hvr

#hvr Could you argue not only the last mile is human, but also the first mile? "People make the rules."

"You can hand-curate the content, but you can also hand-curate the *rules* [for automated aggregation]" -- @samdecker #sxsw #hvr

Great crowd and conversation here at the Human vs. Machine curation with @keepstream @Megan @trapit, et al! #hvr http://t.co/SlE05ZE

Nothhatt: AI is catching up. Can become sophisticated enough to keep up with humans. Robots are "just around the corner." #hvr

I'm starting to become scared for my personal safety. #robots #justkidding #hvr

#hvr robots may catch up w/ humans but then the target content will change

Decker: Hard to talk about curation and humans v. robots w/o talking about end goal. // We don't talk about end goals enough in news. #hvr

An Effective Content Strategy should be a blended approach... 1. Created (Original Content) 2. Contributed 3. Curated #SXSWi #SXSW #hvr

#hvr @megan Just coined "partificial intelligence": cooperation between algorithms and humans.

Good panel. Only slightly disappointed that the humans vs robots battle proved metaphorical #sxswi #hvr

#hvr @ibmwatson shows that AI is about helping humans do their jobs. You will always need human judgement.

The best chess players actually learn from how a computer play chess #hvr

England: Human-based curation adds intricacy, context to curation. #hvr

Nothhaft: It's too easy to call yourself a curator. Retweet button too easy. England: Need to educate new generation of curators. #hvr

"Curation is kind of devolved, it used to be a value-added layer, now every fanboy with twitter account calls themselves a curator" #hvr

Has curation devolved? Was once added value job, not just hitting retweet button.#hvr #sxsw

#hvr curating the web is part art and part science.

Yeah, but is @acarvin's curation work valued because he knows audience? I'd argue it's his audience knows him, knows he is verifying. #hvr

By show of hands, looks like more of audience is interested in content curation for enterprise vs personal purposes #sxswi #hvr

"But humans are super powerful!" #hvr #sxsw

I think I want to see a Turing Test contest for Robot Curation #hvr #sxswi #sxsw

I agree with social being echo chamber, sort of. Twitter is not news, it's a means of news delivery. Links are a jumping-off point. #hvr

Love that @xdamman says bluntly that objectivity isn't really attainable for humans. Accept bias, work with it. Preach it. #hvr

Natural language processing + semantic indexing of news and social streams allows topic-based aggregation. Future of curation. #hvr #sxsw

It's interesting to me that we're talking a lot about curation on creator side. What about what human users value? #hvr

Best line of #hvr panel from @megan: "when I was hired to take over for the algorithm" #sxswi

#hvr Agree with @marcfuseki that human/algorithm curation is about subjective/objective, opinion/fact.
