This article only talks about crowd curation, yet curation by an individual is even more effective and important nowadays (despite being under the radar compared to "social" sites).

I used Earbits as an example for curation by an individual.

Yeah, I saw "We have a team of musicians who listen to each and every song before adding it to the rotation" but assumed that was just a smaller example of a "crowd." Or is each team member getting the final say on individual tracks (e.g. individual curators) rather than it being a group decision?

Yeah, each member is in charge of a their own music genre; rock, hip-hop, electronic, etc. When in doubt we consult each other.

Until you all get better and _more_ curated metal, this is a no show for me and the huge metal fanbase you all should be targeting. To click on Metal and have one channel 'All Metal' is pretty bad. Do you all need curators in this field?
