Agreed, this (Personal Knowledge Publishing and its Uses in Research) is a great article. A Great article! If you find the length too daunting, read just a section at a time and savor each sentence. Start with section three: How Weblogs Foster Quality.

Time doesn't flow at a constant rate for anybody, that's a given. How can people express their relative metrics for different eras? Inessential.com searches for the right word:

"But what I’m thinking about today is a different though related sense of time. I don’t have a good term for it.
It’s the sense of recent history. Where does history end and recent history begin?
It’s different for every person."

A good vocabulary can make one an effective an efficient communicator. After all:

"...people’s senses of what is recent history don’t match, and this is a source of misunderstanding, confusion, and disagreement."

One could also ask, "what does green look like to you?"

David Wertheimer: 99% of Proper Grammar is Obsolete.

[via WebWord] (50 words) [dive into mark]

That reduces my list by one: Fear of using hillbilly grammar . Yeeeeeeeehaw! (insert banjo celabratory riff here).

McGee had been musing again:

"...fear of writing is one relevant barrier to tapping knowledge in organizations...Lowering or eliminating those barriers is certainly a worthy effort."

Easing the fear of writing. How could you do that? First you'd have to know what causes the fear.

I can speak for myself: fear of using hillbilly grammar. Fear of speaking out of turn, upstaging my superiors. Fear of revealing something that was supposed to be confidential that I did not know was supposed to be confidential but nobody told me because to most people "its obvious what should be confidential". Fear that coworkers will discover my ignorance. (Wait a minute, everyone has some ignorance). Fear that my ignorance is much larger in scale than most of my coworkers.

What is a k-log?. Some people are taking the concept of weblogs and applying it to the wider concept of knowledge management. The result is k-logging ("knowledge-logging"). But will it catch on - will your employer dump Lotus Notes databases in favour of browsers and blog-style brain-dumps?
