Language of Networks

Lightweight mention of network analysis, specifically social network analysis.WIRED

...At a symposium titled "Language of Networks," a panel of
mathematicians and graphics geeks dazzled a standing-room-only crowd
 with elaborate diagrams of social networks. Social network analysis has been around since the 1930s, but only recently has it become automated. It's still more art than  science, but it's fast becoming indispensible for nailing opinion leaders, locating hubs
of influence, and tracing flows of ideas.

Of Scaling and Fractals.

Piers blogs about how it bugs him that people either talk about Personal KM with an emergent/systems approach or about Organisational KM with a top-down approach. If you accept the systems approach he says then you also have to accept that this translates to the organisational level as well.

Mine: The systems approach should work for both organizational and personal KM
