How did a Twitter chat work?
I had a brief meeting today, about Knowledge Management.
I didn’t know where the meeting started; I didn’t know everyone who was there. I didn’t know when the meeting started – and I wasn’t invited.
How did that work then? Basically, I spotted a tweet from someone I follow that was hashtagged with #KMers. Following the link got me to the live search for the hashtag, and I was able to take part in the lively discussion – the bit that particularly interested me was the creative tension between folksonomy and taxonomy.
What’s it all about?
Chasing it up after the event, I found the excellent KMers.org site, where a group of Knowledge Management professionals
aim to use a Social Media tool (Twitter Chat) and a CMS tool (Drupal) to run a site that helps KMers share information about the practice of Knowledge Management
I just lucked into it. I enjoyed the section I was involved in, and I’d recommend future events.
You can see the transcript of the [Pilot Chat] Best Ideas from KM World.
If you are interested in Knowledge Management you should take a look. Maybe I’ll see you there?
