Eric Mack thinks that within 18 months Twitter will change our world. I agree!

I see three key benefits of using Twitter:

It lowers resistance to sharing information. (The 140 character limitation is now a strength.)
It makes it easy to tap into a global mindset.
And it provides quick recognition and feedback for what you think and know.

But I am disappointed to find so few KM people Tweeting. Twitter is one of the most powerful knowledge sharing and relationship building tools on the web.

I know I keep banging the Twitter drum but do go take a look and check out my list of KM tweeters! And follow me. I usually tweet several times a day on something of interest :-)

The Gurteen Knowledge Search Engine is a customised Google search engine that searches over 800 KM related websites and weblogs.
