I know that for a good number of years Social Computing and Knowledge Management have been walking different paths. Knowledge Management doesn’t want to do anything with Social Computing, because of the chaotic, messy and unstructured sharing of knowledge and information, and how little control organisations may have over it all, specially within communities (Which are currently the major drivers of social software adoption within the business world). Even more, I would probably be able to state that all along they haven’t gotten on well with one other.

Notes from Christian Finn, Director, Social Computing 13 sessions in "social track" Microsoft design point is to co-mingle structured collaboration tools alongside social computing tools - it's unrealistic to think of social computing disconnected from collaborations strategies Long-term ROI of social computing is helping information workers Back to information workers and productivity ... find knowledge, share ideas, work in teams, feel valued, manage projects, build= a network and use content

Well, today I thought I would share with you what I exactly meant yesterday with that article and also what Rachel probably meant as well in hers: stop all the fuss you are going through to figure out the ROI of social software, and, instead, just go ahead and do it! So along those lines here you have got a brilliant blog post put together by my good friend Laurie Buczek (Enterprise Social Media Program Manager at Intel ), where she is basically detailing, quite nicely, why Intel is moving in the direction of a successful social software adoption starting very soon.

tools out there on the Internet, but I must admit that some times it drives me just nuts! Not sure up to what point it becomes frustration, but time and time again it amazes me that we are putting to waste such great potential with this micro-blogging / micro-sharing tool. So when Bill Ives just recently questioned whether you could make use of Twitter as a Personal Knowledge Management tool I couldn’t help but wonder myself whether I am using it as well as my PKM tool of choice, I have been using Twitter now for over two and a half years and, all along, if you have been following some of my recent twitterings , you would know how I seem to keep having a love / hate relationship with it.

or Social Computing within the corporate world and beyond. Check out the YouTube video " Alan Cohen, Cisco VP Enterprise Solutions, on Enterprise Strategy " where you will see an interview with Alan Cohen himself, Vice President, Enterprise Marketing, that lasts for a bit over four minutes and which touches base on a number of different topics related to the future of Enterprise Computing and Collaboration , as he has written over at the blog Collaboration - The Workplace: A New World of Communications and Collaboration . In the recent past, you would remember I have been putting together a number of different blog posts on various video interviews that John Chambers , CEO of Cisco Systems , has been doing at several events where he has been sharing some further insights on the future of collaboration, knowledge sharing and, specially, Enterprise 2.0

Specially the mainstream media , as it is starting to grab more and more the attention of the general public, and probably it is starting to get much more publicity than several other social software tools available out there. However, some times you get to bump into some pretty interesting, enlightening and rather inspiring articles that would be worth while commenting on and reference, and I thought I would share with you all three of them that I have found rather helpful not only to get an idea of what Twitter really is (If there are folks out there who still haven’t
