Via Flemming Funch at Blogtalk 2.0 in Vienna – the slide show referred to below gives us a very clear example of the ways technology and sociology can be combined to mitigate the bottleneck-ish effects of rigid, top-down control of the flows of information.
It’s also an example of an organisation that is networked with other organizations and can only benefit from better flows of information and ways of exchanging knowledge that clearly recognize the basics of peer-to-peer sociology. Who cares if a few senior people lose a bit of control, if the network of organisations exchanging knowledge help in the pursuit of increased mental health ?
Lee Bryant of Headshift gave a very impressive overview of a knowledge community project he’s spearheading. Notes and slides here. Using blogs and syndication and aggregators widely in a bigger well-integrated whole. Everything is syndicated (has a feed) and everything can be aggregated (can be read in a uniform manner). I.e. you can use uniform tools for keeping an eye on a whole range of activities, people, projects, groups, etc., and sharing information about them. I’d like to study more what he’s doing, as it sounded very right.
