When You Care Enough To Use The Very Best
Blogging as part of a personal knowledge management strategy
McGee's Musings, in the Materials for TEC924 - Knowledge Management Class, says "If knowledge is your craft, you have a responsibility to maintain and develop your tools and your craft." Along with other cogent remarks, he references My Blog, My Outboard Brain by Cory Doctorow, a good read. Those close to me know how much I rely on my PocketBrain/PalmPilot/Handspring since I first tested this tool several years ago. I also 'blogged behind a firewall' for about a year, testing the value for personal knowledge management. As Jim McGee also mentions: "Now, there is a question of how much of this you choose to share publicly. Most of what I've said so far works whether you publish your weblog or not. Although there is an advantage of visualizing an audience to help you distill your thinking. Warren McFarlan at the Harvard Business School was one of the professors who dragged me through my doctoral program. He used to joke that one of the worst aspects of being an academic, especially in a fast-moving field like information technology, was that there was a public record of every dumb idea you'd ever had. On the other hand, if you have the guts to put the ideas out there, you also get the opportunity to test and refine them. "
