Web 2.0
Corporate Web 2.0 is Spreading – Here comes the Blog
SharePoint is starting to take hold at work, and that will take us a few steps farther down the collaboration path. There is a promise of enterprise search in the reasonably near-term future, but newly available tools include blogs and wikis (of a sort). I am psyched – this is in general a good thing, [...]
Catching up on Mind Mapping; collaborative tools and some "market research"
I’ve written about mind-mapping before – definitely a fan of the concept, I’ve used it for project tracking, organizing threads for blog topics, and even planning major multi-project initiatives. Here’s a quick catch-up on some links I’ve been seeing over the past few weeks … From Vinson, a link to Keldsen’s latest podcast on mind [...]
The Joy of Programming, the Challenge of KM
alternate title – Techs Managing Techs; not Required, but it Helps This evening, catching up with my RSS feeds, I happened upon this old screencast from Jon Udell, looking over the shoulder as he and Anders Hejlsberg take a look at LINQ, a work-in-process set of extensions for the .NET framework. Udell captured my curiousity [...]
Do blogs fit in the enterprise? Specific examples (WIIFMs) …
Vinson points out a post from Lee, asking if blogs have a place in the enterprise. Jack’s response is interesting, diving into a better way to understand what a blog could be, and the potential for connections. Adventures In Knowledge also chimed in, with a defense of the power of connections. Good stuff, and I [...]
Selfish KM, Web 1.9, and the ‘Death’ of Tagging
In a recent NetworkWorld piece, Gibbs wrote about the tagging meme, and where it apparently sits on the technology life cycle. No new insights for me there (but possibly fits the CEPP rule for others); I was involved in a number of knowledge management (KM) projects back in my Monsanto days (IAPL) [note to self: [...]
Two candidates for the KM Killer App
Vinson had a post recently, discussing the concept of the Killer App and what might fit that bill in the KM world. His list contains all the usual suspects in the area of “knowledge presentation”, but skips over what I think is the most critical KM element; how to capture all thatknowledge in the first [...]
More on (sic) experience with wikis
no, that’s not a typo … Preamble: This starts out sounding like a diary entry, but some interesting wiki-focused observations are found below – including metrics! Catching up on old items in my feed reader: Back in November, TechCrunch had an item on AboutUs, which at first glance looked at little self-referential, a web site [...]
The Law of Large Numbers – or, why Enterprise Wikis are Fundamentally Challenged
Some will be taken a bit by surprise to read the title of this post; we have implemented a wiki in our group at work, and I have the evangelist role in promoting the tool. Still, a recent “event” brought home the fact that wikis are not the silver bullets that some breathless articles may [...]
Blogs as Conversation, and Wikis as Diaries – Not Exactly
Interesting post from Gharan (via Jack) on Blogs as conversations. I wrote about a topic a few months ago, and it sparked a spirited series of emails within my working group. The notes began to lose consistency and flow of thought, as we ended up semi-debating tangential ideas. So, the best way to drive right [...]
Digging into open source for a New Big Project leads to Yak Shaving
Well, it’s been over a year since I started this site / blog, and it’s about time I listen to my own coaching, and dig into some new technology, and get my hands even dirtier with Open Source. I have an idea for a New Big Project, something to keep me busy through the upcoming [...]
