Knowledge Management – Everything that has got to do with the traditional concept of Knowledge Management and Learning, whether it is Expertise Location, Content Management, (e)Learning, and so forth
It’s rather interesting to see how, over the course of the years, every so often, we seem to come back, time and time again, to some good old debates that perhaps we should have left behind for good, since we don’t seem to have made lots of progress over time. Just recently we have seen … Continue reading The Death of the RSS Reader: Another Debate That Needs to End!
Last week was one of those weeks that would surely mark a before and an after on my mission of living “A World Without Email“. Two years back, in June 2008, to be more precise, I published an article on this very same subject in The New York Times. For a good few hours it … Continue reading A World Without E-mail: The Mashable Effect!
Through my good friend, Harold Jarche, I bumped the other day into one of those TED Talks that will surely leave an unforgettable mark on all of those folks out there who may want to go through 17 minutes of pure gold inspiration around the topic of Learning and Education. Now, I do realise I … Continue reading The Child-Driven Education: Where Critical Thinking, Problem Solving and Collaboration Come Together!

I just wish that Patrick Lambe would be on Twitter. I surely do! That man has got plenty of golden nuggets to share around the topics of Knowledge Sharing, Collaboration, Communities, Learning and Enterprise 2.0 to just be scattered around in multiple blog posts alone. Here and there. He has been one of my favourite KM … Continue reading Why Is Knowledge Sharing Important? A Matter of Survival
Usually, weekends, as most of you already know, are rather quiet over here in this blog and in most of my virtual social networking hang-out places. More than anything else, because I use that time to unwind properly; to chill out, relax, charge some batteries from that week at work and, eventually, connect with my … Continue reading A World Without E-mail: One Man’s Vision of a Social Workplace – Wear Sunscreen
I love it when it happens! You know, that “Serendipity Doing Its Magic” thing. It just happened once again! Earlier on today, as I was recovering from the @RWW effect, I was catching up through my Twitter timeline stream and I bumped into two wonderful YouTube video clips that come from two completely different worlds, … Continue reading Knowledge Is … All About Working Smarter, Not Necessarily Harder!
A couple of weeks ago, the amazingly talented Dion Hinchcliffe put together a blog post under the title of “The 2010 Social Business Landscape” that would probably classify as one of the most insightful, resourceful and essential articles published during the course of this year that everyone in the industry should be reading.

Where is my chocolate cake? Do you have all the nice and fresh ingredients that would be needed to make a delicious one? You do? Now, do you also have the talent to make a mouthwatering one? You do?
