Curation is always the next step after explosion of content. Yahoo was curation of the whole internet. Then it got too hard. Now, we have enough content in tiny sub-niches to need curation on that level. I definitely see the need for curation of resources around the topic I am interested in (Apache Solr).
Unfortunately, I haven't seen a good software platform that actually allows to build a good curation site. Ones that exist want you to build the content for them. I want one I can run/own/brand on my own. I suspect there might be some in the library space though (haven't search _very_ hard yet).
If your time is free - sure. I prefer to outsource markup consistency, repetition of same content under different tags, and promoted items management to software.
