Re: Seven Great Communities for Sharing Ideas on Collaboration in the Workplace

Thanks for the reminder about Mashable... it's been a while since I've been there and it really seems to have turned into a good resource.

While it's not so much KM as marketing, I've been finding DoshDosh really useful lately. So much of getting the most out of any organizational resource comes from the ability to get user buy in (which sometimes requires a little internal marketing). I'm not sure I'm necessarily saying that I'm going to start a Viral Marketing campaign to sell the idea of my companies internal document libraries, but if I could figure out a way to make it work, then so much the better.

Also, on the Twitter front, have you tried Tweetdeck? It allows you to keep searches open and returning results live to the desktop client. It doesn't support all of the search syntax that search.twitter.com does (yet) but it's still a pretty good utility to have around.

I've put in a feature request for them to fix the search syntax in their feedback forums, so if you like it and would like more search features, vote me up :)

Re: Exciting Wiki Happenings at Work

I know you'll probably blog it, but I'll be very interested to hear what decision you ultimately make regarding which wiki package to go with. We actually dropped a Sharepoint implementation about half way in due to support and management issues... for an organization our size using Sharepoint to implement a wiki would have been like swatting flies with a sledge hammer.

We have a MediaWiki install running in house on the server that used to house our LMS, but it's had lukewarm uptake (perhaps because of it's clunky update syntax, but mostly out of apathy, I fear). I'm kickstarting the process of moving all of our web hosting to LAMP, so hopefully in a few months my options for being able to host wikis here will expand. My concern there is, of course, that easier software != more buy in.

Regardless, yay for a Wiki victory. Keep us posted :)

Perhaps this is a sign that I'm not as "digital native" as I like to think I am, but I LOVE unplugging. Not often and never for very long (the most I've gone w/o e-mail since early 90's is a week... and that wasn't by choice), but a few days off the grid and out in the middle of nowhere seems to recharge me.

I've tried to import, it imports the categories OK but then I click on Import Users and after a second or 2 it stops at:

Steps may take a few minutes depending on the size of your database. Please be patient.

Importing Users...
