Newsweek has gone all retro to mark the return of Mad Men. Even the ads have been styled, with some brands, like Johnnie Walker (and the Smokey the Bear one) running actual ads that appeared in the 60s. I think this is wonderful, but must admit that I'm more hooked by Dexter than Mad Men.
You can see them all here: Newsweek goes retro. Thanks to @Pippipsi
They don't make 'em like they used to. There isn't enough wall in the world for all the posters I want.

Came across this on the wonderful Brain Pickings.
Agree enitrely. But then I watched the film and got confused.
As I've said before, I'm not a fan of the word 'curation', and while the idea behind this video is one I agree with (see quote above) the quotes from the film, below, seem to contradict it, to some extent, and to land us right back in the mess of 'if everyone's curating, who's curating?'
"For me the role of a curatir is to fint the most interesting things within this massive onslaught of messy information." Rex Sorgatz
"We all started our sites by writing to ourselves but at some point you've got to give that mix of stuff that you like and you think is interesring and then also thinking about what will the audience appreciate." Piers Fawkes
Ideas are the most valuable thing. Good ones make all the difference; bad ones can hold us back, maybe even destroy us. If we can focus on finding the right ones, helping distill them, and transfer them as quickly as possible, we can get more of that. Curation is that means to the end.” Peter Hopkins
