In addition to discussing how KM is used with organizations, we talked about KM tools open to the general public. I have listed some of them in the links on the right. I found an extremely interesting article recently about how blogging is being used to combat the economic crisis and everyone being laid off from their jobs. The article mentions how free lance writers are going to be attempting a new style of creating a career. They call it "guerilla" like as in guerilla warfare. Their approach seems to be going back to the American entrepreneurial style. A lot liked linked in, new writer blogs can act as a yellow pages for people looking to hire writers or publish books. It's fascninating how Web 2.0 tools are changing and becoming flexible to our society.
In my first blog post on my experiences with KM, I mentioned that the youth generation was becoming reliant on new KM tools and that eventually this will be able to be seen in the workplace. This article reinforces that and shows that now the workplace is becoming intertwined with our personal KM needs. In organizations blogs are also being used as kind of advertisements for skills and ideas. Which brings me to my thought of using a "Craigs List" within an organization to be able to progress ones job promotion quicker. Ultimately employees may have to use this "guerilla" career building technqies on an everyday basis. Scary thought!
