Welcome to Curated Commons
The Big Shifts. And the Little Shifts. And the Totally Useless Shifts. Hand Curated.
You might know me as the guy who pulls together really long threads on Twitter, most spanning years. Or you might not (in which case, I am just a guy who loves curating content).
I like to read. A fair bit. And I like to share snippets of what I read and my tweet-sized thoughts with my network. I’ve been on Twitter for close to 12 years now, sharing some 25-30,000+ links to stories I found good on tech, science, business, India, and pretty much everything else. And a bunch of fairly smart people have said I might not be a bad follow ;-)

I will be collating most of my Twitter posts from over the week and send one mail along with a few additions, some recent, some not-so-recent, but all likely to be interesting. So, yes, most of what you will see will likely be there on my Twitter feed as well. Only, more curated, and with perhaps a bit more commentary. And the occasional longer post (definitely not too many of them - the world has so many great analysts!).
In a world starved for time, and replete with high-quality content, I like to believe there’s value in curation. I’ve always done it for myself, and have often likened by Twitter feed to be my personal del.icio.us feed (for those old enough to remember the wonderful service). This will be an initial attempt at trying to bring this curation in a slightly more organized manner to an audience of n>1.
Hop along, read, and share some great articles, and hopefully reclaim some of your time to do whatever you love most.
Happy reading & learning!
