Openpedia.org > What happened to “Knowledge Management”? Hint: wiki
[Using Wiki in Education] In Whence goeth KM? Dave Snowden concludes that knowledge management is on its way out because it has changed so much since it first appeared in the early 1990s. Today, social tools like wiki focus completely on letting people work together online the same way they’d work in person.

Atlassian News: Furthermore, those early KM systems tried to treat tacit knowledge (stored in peoples heads), as something that could be extracted and turned into explicit knowledge (written down), then turned back into tacit knowledge simply by another person reading it. The flaw here is that tacit knowledge is intimately connected to the person in whose head it is stored, and people need to directly communicate with each other to transfer tacit knowledge.

How to Save the World: HTWW reports that China, which already has a significant interest in the eco-holocaust that is Alberta's tar sands, is now proposing to manufacture in China the monster extraction technologies needed to gouge the pristine earth and process the sands before dumping the remaining sludge back in the ground. How much oil will be needed to make and transport this Frankenstein machinery is beyond conception. (via Cosmos)
Dissident: A number of people have already picked up on Dave Snowdon's excellent article on the future of KM. Just mentioning it here mainly for my own future reference. (via Cosmos)
