Two blogs are in dialogue about the notion of a type of job particularly suited to the skills of professional and technical writers. Rohit Bhargava describes a Content Curator, "someone who continually finds, groups, organizes and shares the best and most relevant content on a specific issue online". He notes that experts predict that soon the volume of information produced online will double every 72 hours. The sheer volume of data will require someone who is versed ind ata organization.

Anne Gentle comments on Bhargava's blog and the discussion that took place on this post about Content Curation. She agrees with Bhargava that this job is ideally suited for professional and technical writers who already have experience developing, organizing, and editing content in a variety of media.
