HOW TO: Use Wikis for Business Projects | Mashable on Jul 1, 2009

"One of the best web tools available to businesses for enabling teamwork and collaboration is the wiki. (...) Though Wikis have been around since the 90s, their potential for business collaboration has made them more popular in the business world over the past few years. While a wiki can let project documentation grow organically as a project unfolds, it is like any tool and needs to be used the right way to get the most out of it. If you’re thinking about using a wiki in your team’s toolkit for the first time, keeping a few points in mind will help everyone get up and running without tripping over the changes that the wiki way brings to project documentation."

So in addition to learning the new wiki software and the cultural shift that comes with it, team members must also unlearn what they already know about how projects are documented and information is organized.
Email is most often the channel that the wiki-wary fall back on during this kind of transition, and the most dangerous for locking knowledge into a recipient list.
3 more annotations...
- Nearly all wikis dispense with advanced page and text formatting, instead embracing a “just the facts” approach to documentation, that can actually be refreshing.
- Removing the ability to spend time formatting content removes the feeling that the content needs more than basic formatting. Where people aren’t spending time on formatting they’re likely to spend it on just writing and moving on.
- Mashable () has also published two large round ups of available wiki software in the past year: 30+ Solutions to Start Your Own Wiki and 100+ More Wiki Tools and Resources.

Taking the Web into our own hands, one computer at a time | Opera Labs on Jun 16, 2009

Introduction to Opera Unite

labs.opera.com/16 - Preview

web2.0 apps opera collaboration sharing intros

In this article I will explain what Opera Unite is, discuss “the Internet’s unfulfilled promise” in more detail (and explain how it led to us creating Opera Unite), and share some inspirational ideas to illustrate what you can do with it.
Opera Unite is a unique technology that turns any computer or device running Opera into a Web server.
6 more annotations...
- With Opera Unite, everyday non-technical users can serve and share content and services directly from their own computers in the form of intuitive applications.
- With Opera Unite, we are giving developers a chance to develop applications (known as Opera Unite services) that directly link people’s personal computers together, so that you can connect with one or more of your friends at the same time. It all happens through the browser, so no additional software has to be downloaded, and it will work wherever Opera works (Windows, Mac, Linux, and later mobile phones and other devices). Opera provides the platform and you provide the applications—what you create is limited only by your imagination.
- The key to Opera Unite is that it enables a whole new class of social software on the Web, applications that benefit from two or more people being online at the same time. And, with Opera Unite, these people can all connect directly without needing middlemen who control third-party servers.
- We are connected to a Web that has democratized much and is an amazing source of information. However, “the wisdom of the crowd,” along with the notion that our data ought to live on other people’s computers that we don’t control, has contributed to making the Internet more impersonal, anonymous, fragmented, and more about “the aggregate” than the individual.
- The first few services we’ve released for Opera Unite are fairly simple and offer functionality that you’ve likely seen elsewhere, perhaps on desktop applications or 3rd party web sites. These first few demos are meant to illustrate how Opera Unite services are put together and the basics behind the new technology.
- Think about collaborative applications such as spreadsheets, documents or Wikis, which you can work on with friends and colleagues without having to host them on a third-party site such as Google Spreadsheets or installing specialized applications on a dedicated server. You could use reverse Ajax or “COMET” techniques to mean that all the updates are seen on everyone’s computers in real time; multiple people could make changes at once, without having to lock people out.

Little Knowledge Management is the Next Big Thing | LawyerKM on June 1, 2009

"little KM is about “how” and big KM is about “what.” Little KM helps people find the big KM"

lawyerkm.com/...vs-big-km-knowledge-management - Preview

enterprise2.0 law-firms km social-media collaboration tagging

The Small Stuff. By little KM, I mean meta data; but not the hierarchical, taxonomic stuff of older KM approaches. It’s not about asking your lawyers to profile, or select prescribed meta data, for their documents when saving them in a document management system. Rather, little KM is about on-the-fly, user-generated tagging, commenting, and rating. Little KM is also about self interest; and that’s important.
Little KM is not substantive. It points or directs people to the substantive stuff (the big KM).
2 more annotations...
- Self Interest. Altruism may be alive and well, but for the most part, we do things to help ourselves, personally. The good thing is that with little KM, the side effect is that it also helps others. When someone tags, comments on, or rates a piece of content (presumably to help themselves find, or make sense of, it later) others get the benefit of that person’s efforts.
- The solution to having too much information is, surprisingly, more information.
  
  For law firms, that means a better document management system. One that incorporates some of the great lessons we have learned in Web 2.0. Too much of the DMS is an undifferentiated mass of documents. Folders are no solution if the folder is not incorporated back into the retrieval and information about the document.

Has the Age of the Legal Knowledgebase Finally Arrived? - Software - Technologist

In this post, guest author Jim Groff of PBWorks describes the benefits of knowledge management systems for law firms, as well as the difficulties some firms have had in convincing their attorneys and staff to adopt knowledge management solutions. Groff argues that Web 2.0 technologies can increase the adoption of knowledge management systems, and thus the benefit to law firms, by integrating the systems with attorneys' everyday experiences.

"Knowledge
differentiates a law firm from its competitors," according to Gretta
Rusanow of Curve Consulting, an attorney and knowledge management
expert.
Knowledge Management specialists within firms work
hard to set up and maintain KM technology, but without grassroots
adoption, many KM initiatives languish from lack of use. Placing the
emphasis on technology, rather than user behavior, tends to distract
from the real barrier to adoption: Attorneys and staff simply don't see
enough individual value to take time away from urgent (and billable)
day-to-day activities to complete additional tasks required by a
separate knowledge management tool.
8 more annotations...
- "Too often KM becomes a
  conversation about technology . . . if you want to converse with
  lawyers about value, talk about value instead of technology," said Toby
  Brown of Fulbright & Jaworski. "This focuses the dialogue on the
  benefits to the lawyers and not on the cost of any technology involved.
  Solve the problem, instead of offering technology."
- Now,
  however, a new generation of legal knowledgebase tools based on Web 2.0
  technology (including PBworks Legal Edition, which has users at 24 of
  the top 25 firms on the AmLaw 100) is solving the usability issues and
  integrating the knowledgebase into the everyday work of a firm.
- "At a time when clients are
  likely to challenge every item of charge, having efficient systems in
  place for producing work becomes vital," writes Karen Battersby of
  Nottingham Law School. "The transfer of knowledge from individual
  lawyers to teams of lawyers is also essential in a climate where lawyer
  redundancies are increasing and departments need to operate with leaner
  resources."
- The
  first key is to make the legal knowledgebase easy to use.
- The second key to
  successful legal knowledgebases lies in searchability.
- The final, and perhaps most
  important key to the success of Web 2.0 knowledgebases lies in their
  ability to integrate with the daily work of lawyering.
- "I can't emphasize this enough: making lawyers enter
  information multiple times is a recipe for failure," said Dennis
  Kennedy of Thompson Coburn. "Lawyers have proven that they will not
  change the way that they work.
- While
  firms must restrict access to authorized users, they must
  simultaneously provide authorized users with access to information via
  different technology. As more lawyers turn to smart phones and PDA,
  products must also include mobile access to the knowledgebase
  (including files) via Blackberry and iPhone to fully integrate with the
  way most attorneys actually work.
