I hadn't heard of the word curation to mean (according to Eric Zorn of the Tribune) a fancy term where people from Blogs (or other types of Web communication) aggregate some of the good posts on the Web. A few dictionaries have picked it up, but not many. Have you seen it?

No, but it's an easy jump from curate or curator. Or, since a cur is a dog, it could mean taking care of mutts.

curation
I've heard of it. There was a new position that opened up at my previous job: that of content strategist. While researching for the position, I found that content strategists, among other things. curate. (See link.) It seems to come up in blogs and other social media.

From reading that Eric Zorn article, it seems as though there's a fine line between curation and plagiarism.
