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.

[Edited to correct typo.]

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