[...] I’m not the first person to talk about this nor the last, but there is definitely a need to filter information and data. I think too many people are focusing on discovery – filtering is needed before we can go out and discover anything new. People talk about the velocity of current flows of information and inputs and say it’s like drinking from a fire hose. That’s wishful thinking. On far too many days, it feels more like living in the Lower Ninth Ward during Hurricane Katrina. For Clay Shirky, that sense of drowning in information is a sure sign not of overload but, rather, of inadequate filters. If he’s right (and I think he is), we have to find a better way of coping.

I found this extremely interesting looking at KM from a personal networking and management perspective.

One of the problems where Knowledge Management is concerned is that there are so many ways of describing what it is and how it is managed.

From an organizational point of view rather than personal - technology, information storage and retrieval and document management systems can swamp an organizations understanding of how to manage knowledge to its best effect.

I work with a number of experts involved with the KM Institute http://www.kminstitute.org/cms/index.jsp and who are members of my Virtual Enterprise Network.

I have a blog with a definition of KM in the context of organizations if you would like to comment on KM you are welcome.

Thanks for letting me know about your positive experience with LinkedIn, Wendy. I've taken a look at the groups, but haven't yet found a good point of entry. Too many of the questions/discussions seem oriented to vendors.

You and I are definitely preaching to the choir. We've experienced the benefits that Web 2.0 tools bring to personal knowledge management efforts.

You know I have been a fan of the 2.0 approach to knowledge management. The focus is on delivering useful (and easy to use) tools to help people organize their personal knowledge. That they happen to be open to the public and help the larger organization is merely a by product.

Early KM focused on helping the larger organization, not the individual, organize its knowledge.
