Thanks to Seb’s Open Research.
This works for me.
Tom Smith comes up with a totally rockin’ list of formulas that explain the success of weblogs in learning / knowledge management. Via the social software channel.
• Bad Is the New Good ( It Really Is )
• Some Things Just Don’t Work (And Never Did, Let’s Get Over It)
• People need to PeripherizeTM, Not Focus ( There is Too Much Information)
• Thinking Out Loud ( The Best Place to Do It )
• Informality Fucking Rocks ( Everybody Hates the Suits Really)
• You Don’t Know What You Know ( Really )
• You Probably Know Too Much To Even Begin Writing It Down ( Really Really )
• A Little And Often is Best ( Your Mum Was Right )
• The Link is God ( Which makes Google the Devil )
• Person Centric not Place Centric (You can only be in one place at a time)
• Personal Taxonomies (Let Dublin Core catch up rather than dictate)
• You Own Your Blog ( You Are Your Blog )
• Information Exists in the Context of People (And Always Has)
• If It’s Not Documented, It Really Doesn’t Exist
• Democracy is the Least Worst of the Alternatives (Let’s Get Over It)
• Reflection is the New Black (Who’d have thought?)
• Lets Plan To Start Now, Plan Later (That’s The Plan Anyway)
• Passwords Blow Goats
• Distributed AND Centralized (not OR)
• Nobody Owns the Blog Concept
• If Blogs are the Songs, RSS is the Home-made Compilation CD (RSS is cool)
• People Can Cope With Simple ( Just about, but not always )
• Don’t Try And Make The Computer Do Things It Can’t And We Can ( i.e Manage Knowledge, Make Sense, Inspire, See Connections, Make Jokes, Cock Up)
• Google for “Small Pieces Loosely Joined”
