My latest tool/process is what I do on Twitter, which is really changing my routine. As you note, Lori, I re-write a lot of my posts and articles, as I see it all as "work in progress" or "life in Beta". Thanks for your engagement in the conversations here.

I laughed at your explanation of what makes PKM worth pursuing: "Effective learning is the difference between surfing the waves or being drowned by them and PKM (personal knowledge management) can be your customized surfboard." If the "proof is in the pudding" then the effectiveness of your own Personal Knowledge Management system speaks volumes. Clearly I am at the Sort and Classify stage of the process and still fleshing out the steps that integrate best with my work style. When I settle on a consistent classification that works for me personally, it will end up being beneficial to others or me in any communal environment: Corporate or otherwise. Thank you for a very complete response, and giving me pause to process it further.

First - because it was an acronym that I wanted to verify (PKM: Personal Knowledge Management). Some of the things that come up on Google under a "PKM" search are pretty diverse. But in my search I came back with a good debate about PKM and the argument of whether PKM in corporate America is best implemented under the perspective of PKM as personal, communal or both. The debate is being bantered between Steve Barth and Nick Milton Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) = corporate failure? http://www.nickmilton.com/2009/04/personal-knowledge-management-pkm.html Does Corporate Failure = PKM? http://www.typepad.com/services/trackback/6a00d83452271c69e201156f8ded29970c I'd like to hear your expanded take on this particular aspect of The Learning Age journey. Or, maybe it's a topic for a TogetherLearn unified blog post? Harold,
