// May 22nd, 2009 by Steph

You’ve probably seen our previous blog post introducing our community curators. If you’ve liked seeing what’s happening on those channels, look out–we’ve got a whole new crop of curated channels up and running. So, if you’re looking for new topics to explore, take a few minutes to check these out.

Languages,curated by Nuclear Lullaby

Otaku, curated by Nettle

“A veritable bento box of movies, comics, anime, TV shows, science, tech and culture all hailing from the Land of the Rising Sun. Pantsu!”

Soccer, curated by nkeg87

“To some, soccer is an obsession and a way of life. To me, its joy, passion, and fun. I can never get enough time on the pitch but since I don’t play too often, I read and watch it a lot.”

Cultural Film, curated by disembedded

“The cultural film channel includes short films, short documentaries, art/experimental cinema and animations. The films focus on a wide range of subjects, which include social/ethnic issues and minorities.”

“Pop Culture is a collection of ideas, perspectives, and attitudes that permeate the everyday lives of society.”

“Deadicated is a forum for discussing music and culture of Grateful Dead. I hope you’ll add items to this page, and comment on the ones you find here.”

Gadgets, curated by Get_Cape

“A technological object that has a particular function, but is often thought of as a novelty.”

Architecture, curated by Slovelett

“Architecture is the process of understanding and designing the built environment.”

Holistic Health, curated by Crazyotto

Humanism, curated by Unimatrix0

“Humanism is an optimistic stance that entails self determination and the dignity and worth of all people.  More than a negation of the supernatural, Humanism is a process by which truth and morality is sought through human investigation.”

Of course, if you haven’t already, you might also want to take a peek at our first batch of curated channels: US Politics, Science, Random, LGBT, Live Music, Indie Film, Culture, WTF, YouWebRadio, and Underground Music.

If you think we’re missing something, and you’d like to curate a channel, leave a comment and let us know! And if you don’t make it into the test group don’t worry–we’ll be opening the doors wide and letting everyone create a group in the not-so-distant future, so stay tuned.

    As the editor of the Rebel Rabble, I would think a curator is needed for the sport of sailboat racing. I’ve no clue what that would entail and I’m not the webskipper, that would be Neil. But I’ll give it a go. Bruce

    Hi everybody. Here’s the new H.E.M.P. page. http://current.com/topics/89013553_h-e-m-p/. Just wondering if there’s a particular way you figure out which stories to feature. Is it good to always put the newest ones up there if you’ve got a bunch coming in? Thanks.
