There are a number of ways in which information and knowledge can be disseminated and exchanged, including breakfast, lunchtime or evening meetings. These meetings can be internally or externally based. Organisations, like the Society for Organisational Learning Australia (SOLA) for example, have run morning information sessions for members featuring a special guest speaker. I first heard Dave [...]

I am really disappointed that I wasn’t able to get to Austin, Texas, this year to attend SXSW Interactive. I will get there one day (I hope) but in the meantime we are fortunate that the organisers provide podcasts of the presentations and discussions.
Check out this interview with Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook fame - some [...]

I want to conclude my blog summary from the presentation I gave last week on tagging and the enterprise. The previous three entries should be read in conjunction with this instalment, if you haven’t followed the story so far…
I used IBM’s dogear as an example of an enterprise using tagging within the firm. However, instead of me explaining all about [...]

My last two posts have been about tagging based on my presentation last week at the conference in Sydney, ”Enhancing search and retrieval capabilities and performance”.
I want to look at some of the perceived disadvantages of tagging that I briefly mentioned in my presentation:
Lack of specificity - refers to the fact that an item can have [...]

In the light of what I discussed yesterday with respect to my conference presentation on Tuesday, I want to move on to tagging. Tagging is essentially unstructured metadata that is assigned by the content creator and the readers/users of the content, the latter called collaborative tagging. The user-generated classification that emerges is called a folksonomy.
Examples of digital content using [...]

Yesterday I gave a presentation at the Ark Group conference, “Enhancing search and retrieval capabilities and performance”, in Sydney. The presentation, called “Tagging and the enterprise”, is available to conference attendees and I am rejigging some of the slides to load up onto Slideshare.
There were two key points I tried to emphasise yesterday in a conference [...]

I was reading the Green Guide in today’s Melbourne Age. In the Websights section I noticed a short paragraph about a service, still in beta, that combines photos, video, and music into a professional looking multimedia product.
The service is from Animoto and this is what they are about: “Each video is a fully customized orchestration of [...]

It’s been quite a week since I lasted posted. I have been confronted with some technical issues regarding web access and have been limited in the online time available to me. A wireless 3G account might have to be arranged…
Anyway, I can give some follow-up to a couple of activities from last week. Firstly, Patrick Lambe [...]

Wow. Today was the first day of the KM Australia 2007 conference in Sydney. I was very impressed with some of today’s presentations, although I must say it was sometimes difficult to hear the speakers due to the noise coming from the vendor and catering area next to the stage.
Not surprisingly, Dave Snowden was in fine [...]

Rob Galbraith’s website had a recent news item about audio slideshows and how they are being used by newspapers on their websites. Galbraith’s cited example is from the Miami Herald. Even our own Sydney Morning Herald has an audio slideshow of the recent Panamax ship stranded on the beach at Newcastle.
The audio slideshow is simply a combination [...]

I had a fruitful discussion a short while ago about librarians and web 2.0, and research and knowledge management. In the same vein, a recent post from Dave Pollard with a link to his presentation on “librarians as knowledge managers” posits some interesting thoughts. Pollard presented at the recent Special Libraries Association conference in Denver, Colorade, USA. In the [...]

Huh? Domestic violence? What’s going on here - aren’t we supposed to be talking about communication?
Well, yes actually. Domestic violence is a pretty brutal and horrendous communication method. But that wasn’t what I was actually looking for. I was flicking through the Slideshare site looking to get some good ideas for presentations. I found this [...]
