While the variations on the various 2.0 cluster memes are also beginning to proliferate as more people write about them, it is, except in the case of “social media,” comparatively easy to put one’s fingers on dominant definitions of these categories, because early and continuing work on each of them is more closely associated with […]

People who view Knowledge Management from outside the field often make the mistake of viewing KM as much more homogeneous a field than it in fact is. They tend to think that “KM” means something very specific, and that what it means is the understanding of it they may have gained by reading one or […]

In earlier posts on KM 2.0 I’ve critically reviewed many interpretations of aspects of the “2.0” trend relating to the idea of KM 2.0. Of course, such interpretations don’t end in April 2008, but have continued since then, and, if my purpose was to complete an up-to-date survey, I could continue my critical discussions through […]

The topic of the Boston KM Forum on April 9, 2008 was “KM 2.0 – Real or Hype?” Let’s review presentations given at the meeting. Mark Frydenberg offered an excellent slide show called “Web 2.0 Tools for Knowledge Management.” Its strength was its coverage of Web 2.0. It included a slide with a number of […]

Over the past week, I’ve taken a break from this series, but I think that now is a good time to get back to it, since there’s still much to do. In April of 2008, the debate over KM 2.0 received a number of interesting contributions. The first I’ll consider here is Mike Gotta’s blog […]

This discussion of John Tropea’s two blog entries of March 17th and 18th 2008, has turned into a series within a series. I guess that’s a measure of what happens in this blog medium. That is, if you feel like saying more about something, there’s always another blog tomorrow. No one can tell you that […]
