>There is no class of trail blazers.

I think this post takes a narrow view of what constitutes a trail and link. From listicles, Pinterest boards, and even your Facebook feed, people use the internet to connect to different links and articles. This process of curation occurs at personal (Pinterest) and at large (Wikipedia).

There are, indeed, people who make a living from annotating and associating articles and information (see the HN front page and brainpickings).
