More on solving the right problem.

Uncovering the implicit. From Sébastien Paquet and Lilia Efimova ... some interesting insights as to why people blog and why some professions are better represented than others e.g. educators, journalists, software developers, librarians, lawyers and knowledge professionals. As Sébastien says in his [original posting] on the subject :

I think the commonality has to do with uncovering the implicit.

And as Lilia [adds] :

For me, blog is something for articulating ideas. They get some shape once they get out of my brain, and it becomes easier easy to deal with them. Blog is something for catching those difficult to catch things...

I think they are on to something here - some people because of their mindset "can't help but blog" while others will "never get it" or never find the time or the motivation to do it. And that's not a judgement - it simply reflects the diversity of human nature and that can only be good [Gurteen Knowledge-Log]

One of the great things about using a news aggregator like Radio's is the frequent juxtapositions of interesting posts. This was next to the item from Phil Windley I just posted.  Too much of knowledge management thinking assumes that the relevant knowledge is just out there lying around, waiting to be swept up and managed.

I find that creating knowledge is hard work. And, I've found that keeping a weblog is one absolutely essential tool for helping me catch ideas before they slip away and then working to develop them into something useful.

I see this from the perspective of professionals who draw and build.  For the most part, we do not write.  Rather, we communicate a tremendous amount with sketches and photographs.  It is only the higly theoretical which can make it to the written word.  We need fluid drawing tools to build useful knowelege in my  profession.
