E L S U A ・ A blog by Luis Suarez
A blog about working smarter, not necessarily harder, through social networking, digital technologies
It certainly has got to be the news of the day, and perhaps, even the news of the week ! Yes, indeed, and I am sure you have all read it all over the place in multiple weblogs and multiple web sites so why am I also going to create this weblog post on the … Continue reading English Wikipedia Reaches One Million Articles – Congratulations!
Over at Denham Grey’s weblog he has just been sharing a weblog post that all of us, knowledge workers, Knowledge Management advocates and so forth should not be ignoring. In KM Wikipedia Regression he just mentions how the quality of the KM related article in Wikipedia has gone down a bit. Probably quite substantially. Shawn … Continue reading KM Wikipedia Regression – Time for an Update
A few days ago a couple of readers from elsua asked me to share with them any Internet resources that would be available and worth while checking regarding Knowledge Management that they would be able to read some more about and perhaps even engage with them further to help increase the amount of information available. … Continue reading KMWiki – A Collaborative Persistent ‘Conversation’ on All Matters Related to Knowledge Management
As you may have been able to read all over the place in different weblogs and mainstream news web sites like The Register, there has been lots of controversy on the accuracy of Wikipedia overall, specially since the recent issues raised by the different media. To quote them all would be far too long and … Continue reading What Wikipedia Lost: Credibility
I am actually quite surprised that not so many people have been weblogging about this particular topic already. We do have some exceptions though with folks such as Nancy White, over at WikiMatrix / Wiki Feature Comparison, or Harry Fuecks with Wiki Comparison or even Phil Windley on Finding the right wiki software. Nevertheless, I … Continue reading WikiMatrix Wiki Feature Comparison – Compare them all !
(Migrated weblog post from LSR) Indeed, whoever said that they would probably need to come again and think about it twice. Specially after seeing web links like these two: News junkies find Wikipedia more than encyclopedia and Praise for ‘weather nerd’ comes from blogosphere. Certainly, over the last few years (And maybe now even more … Continue reading Who Said That Weblogs and Wikis Are Not Effective Communication and Knowledge Tools?
(Migrated weblog post from LSR) If last week Friday I weblogged about a particular interesting Wiki (pbWiki) this time I thought it would be interesting to mention a couple of other Wiki engines that people would certainly find very interesting. They are TiddlyWiki and TagglyWiki. Apart from putting together all the great features of the … Continue reading TiddlyWiki and TagglyWiki – Your Own Personal Wiki Experience Meeting Your Needs
(Migrated weblog post from LSR) Here is a neat idea: pbWiki. It is a rather simple Wiki interface (Without all the bells and whistles from Wikipedia, for instance) that allows you to create your own Wiki on the Internet like you could do with plenty of other Wikis but pbWiki adds a great new option: … Continue reading pbWiki – Your Own Protected Wiki on the Web
Remember when Social Capital was cool back in the mid-90s at the same time Knowledge Management (KM) was in fashion? Remember when we decided to kill both just a few years later, as we purposely defaulted to focus, almost exclusively, on business processes and technology, leaving behind the people component from the good old KM … Continue reading Myth Busting – Can’t Build Social Capital with Remote / Distributed Work
Culture. That’s a fully loaded word, isn’t it? I mean, pretty much on the same level as the other two ‘Cs’: Collaboration and Community. I bet, when asked, we all have a definition for it. I suspect it’s also a different one for each and everyone of us. However, when thinking about Office Culture, there is a single keyword, … Continue reading Myth Busting – Office vs. Remote / Distributed Culture
