He examines in reasonable detail (and links off to deeper content) several aspects of the way in which these tools can enhance productivity and collaboration, […]
Over at acidlabs, I’ve been having a conversation about the nature of knowledge work - particularly how it’s not about recordkeeping and how the introduction of social computing tools can provide an excellent boost to knowledge worker capability.
