"As people increasingly share stories, videos, and tips through their networks, they are no longer just news consumers but news producers. There’s even a neologism coined to describe the shift from passive consumer to active producer: “presumer.” It confers an added obligation to evaluate what amid the clutter is worth sending on."

Not sure how I feel about the term ‘presumer,’ but there is no doubt that our networks (social and subscribed) are aggregating and curating what is considered ‘worth sharing’ - Techmeme being one kind of example and Pinterest being a completely different other example.
