How'd I do it? Leveraging 2.0. Both of the last two links were random items that caught my attention from the people I follow on del.icio.us Must be following some great people if their signals of interest are as closely matched to mine as that. The social aspects of this serendipidy is not even a glimmer in KM mantra.

Must be following some great people if their signals of interest are as closely matched to mine as that. The social aspects of this serendipidy is not even a glimmer in KM mantra.

I think they do good work, but I think were less receptive several years ago to the innovation represented by social software / social computing than were, say, Forrester or Jupiter. Gartner has certainly made some classic contributions to the analysis game, the Gartner Quadrant and Hype Cycle being two obvious ones. And I wouldn't doubt that Gartner has also seen the light re: social computing inside the firewall by now. And I also don't think "KM is dead" .. I do think what it was is morphing towards something different, and "management" may not be the best word to attach to various ways in which we build and use knowledge at work .. but that is / has been a long-standing argument.
