Are you really doing Enterprise 2.0?November 14

The other day I posted on Knowledge flow networks and Post-KM : enterprise 2.0, facilitation and complexity, these along with an older post include how I think KM and enterprise 2.0 can come together.

In this post I pointed to a post by Tom Davenport on recognising the difference in the planned and outcome KM approach compared to the enterprise 2.0 emergent approach (with sharing, learning, connections happening along the way). He also concurred with Andrew McAfee saying there is an element of facilitation and gardening, this is the part I call KM 2.0. I think KM 2.0 is a layer on top of enterprise 2.0.

Samuel Driessen’s post pointed me to a

Knowledge flow networksNovember 11

I’ve echoed words by Dave Snowden and Jon Husband that rather than trying to create a knowledge sharing culture, we are instead creating conditions and environment for that to happen naturally via a participation model that facilitates connections and shared context.

These conditions are:

simple tools, trust, self interest/benefit, and facilitation

…once people form interdependencies, then sharing becomes essential to get work done.

Email is simple, people who trust each other can exchange know-how in emails, and this requires no facilitation. Enterprise 2.0 tools (along with facilitation) can do a similar thing with tools that are more open and transparent, enabling more of an amplified and visible knowledge sharing culture to emerge. The difference here is an ecosystem is manifested where people are networked, and knowledge flows, this is much more connected for people to tap in or tune in to the social capital.

For more on this see my posts, The KM generation of networks and emergence and The

Groups on TwitterNovember 6

A while back I posted on Twitter and similar platforms in relation to groups. “Groups” is an ambiguous word, so I cleared it up to be more precise about what I mean, here’s a little re-hash:

Groups - community type shared interest member groups, or perhaps an aggregation stream from a bunch of people, like a public version of one of your contact groups (in this instance there are no members)

NOTE: Channels are similar to Groups, but people are not members. A channel is not organised and doesn’t really have an agenda beyond existing, the topic is usually short eg. #athletics. Whereas a group topic could be more precise eg. Women in athletics who have won medals but had them taken away due to steroid use, and a group could have sub-topics.

Contact Groups- organising your contacts into folders/tags

Groupings - based on implicit attention or on a slice of data such as: people who also saved this bookmark, people who also bought this book, all Twitter users located in Perth, a Techmeme cluster of all the people who posted on this meme (or all people who linked to this site)

A conversation on TwitterNovember 5

At the moment the conversational tools on Twitter are Tweader, Quotably and Twitter Threads.

Wall-to-Wall

I had an idea like the Facebook wall, to show Wall-to-Wall conversations between you and another Twitter user.

The best I found was Twitter Advanced Search, where I can do a search like from:johnt to:trib (or vice versa).

The juicy part is when you click the “Show Conversation” link on a tweet it displays this wall-to-wall idea.
Each tweet has this link, and I’m not sure if a conversation is based on time or what.

But still I would like to see “Show Conversation” as its own page, and a clean history of our Wall-to-Wall conversation, kind of like doing a search…”from:johnt to:trib” AND “from:trib to:johnt”

And then I realised I can do this at Tweet 2 Tweet, check it out (not sure what search query they are using).

5 options for mobile web TwitterNovember 3

I mostly use Twitter on the mobile web, when I’m on the train. I once tried to keep up with Twitter, but gave up that idea a while ago, now I just tune in and take a dip in the river now and again, there’s always lots of great stuff floating by.

My issue at the moment is I am following too many people, sometimes I’d like to tune into Twitter and just see what my KM buddies are up to, but I can’t as Twitter mobile doesn’t allow you to group friends into a folder or tag stream like an RSS Reader or Friendfeed. None of the services below offer this either, for me this is something sorely needed. There are some Twitter apps out there that allow you to make your own group streams, but I want this in a Twitter mobile web service so I can just choose a tag/folder at will.

Anyway that’s my 2 cents, here’s a quick list of some mobile Twitter services

NOTE: I’m not including download clients or iPhone specific web sites like hahlo (which doesn’t function properly on my phone)
I once installed Blue Whale for Facebook on my phone, and it didn’t stop buzzing. Out of interest what are the similar Twitter install apps for a mobile phone, where you get pushed content without being on the mobile web (and, can you limit this to just replies and direct messages?).
