I think Metafilter, as a crowd blog that encourages including context in posts, selects from the web more interestingly than he does and doesn't pretend to say that it's curating or editing.

Nor is striving for excellence. Nor is completely sucking. Each goal is worthy, each goal has an audience (as trav suggests), and each its own types of 'curators' perhaps? I will admit that I've been bored for years of the curation style where one tries to direct (sometimes squeezing) different artist's pieces into a lofty theme. Not that I'm anti-curation, but sometimes it goes too far and maybe these vvork ffound sites are helping to swing things another direction. Yeah, not so sure mediocrity is a bad thing.
