Knowledge Workers Zodiac.
Via Seb's Open Research.

Al has just dug up a gem by David Skyrme on the German language blog fliegenvonferne which describes twelve types (or roles) of knowledge workers. Pretty neat, concise descriptions.

Expert

Knowledge analyst

Knowledge leader

Knowledge networker

Knowledge custodian

Ooh... Ooh! Neat..

The itown global network of weblogs is up and open for business. Very nice implementation. [John Robb's Radio Weblog]

This implementation of Radio addresses a lot of wishes/wants on my list. If we are to get folks in the University community engaged with blogs, then the implementation, which includes community building (and the road signs posted by an entity such as itown are certainly needed), back office support and some old fashioned cheer leading.

And, the Mayor of iTown leaves in Athens. Go Dawgs! [Jim Flowers]
