That there is a ‘best’ way to manage knowledge an information? Studies of Personal Information Management say that what works is often highly personal. Great dialog between Harold Jarche and Stephen Downes around Harold's PKM process … Stephen Downes wrote in response: … what does the concept of a ‘method’ here imply?

One of the questions that always comes up is: How do I find more information to help me get started? The answer is that this information is a bit hard to come by. There’s a lot out there, but it’s often hard to find information that helps you get start. Last week I had a presentation around using Social Media and Web 2.0

Through this, and because of my My LinkedIn Open Connection Approach where I basically treat LinkedIn like a really big business mixer, I have lots of opportunity to "meet" new people online. Have a reasonably complete LinkedIn profile and link to it everywhere.

I presented the discussion forum as a solution to this problem, in that it would reduce the number of emails they receive because the information would not be in their in-box, and more importantly would allow discussion between the all the members (one to many) rather than one to one or one to a few. This is in process.

1) Two issues that come up, at least in the world of training in a government environment, is that of a) security of information, and b) control of the information given to the learner to make sure it is accurate. Security of the information is something that hopefully your IT organization is already dealing with.

Its privacy policies are questionable and it is giving out user information to applications willy-nilly.

What I've found interesting is that I now commonly use LinkedIn to find interesting people, but often use Facebook to communicate with them. The advantage of that is that likely a sizable portion of the audience is already on Facebook and thus wouldn't have to upload profile information.

Her comment: New tools which allow a person to 'carry' their identity across a variety of online platforms and create their own personal networks suggest that our static ideas of blogs, wikis and forums will be outdated by the idea of a personal network and information cloud, that we shape and which is shaped by those we include in our network.
