20 Enjoyable Knowledge Management Blogs
 By
Luis Suarez
The last couple of days have been rather busy at work, as I get to finalise the transition from my old job into the new one, but I thought I would share over here a blog post that I have meant to write a little while ago, but didn't have a chance to till now.
Some time ago John Tropea, author of Library Clips (One of my favourite and essential daily reads), created a blog post under 20 Blogs I'm Currently Enjoying, where he actually started a new meme by capturing 20 blogs he has been enjoying quite a bit lately.
That very same day Jack Vinson (Another one of my daily must-reads) created a follow up blog post to respond to John's meme under the title Blogs I'm Enjoying of Late where he shared his list as well. And I thought that I should finally put together that list of 20 blogs I am enjoying a lot at the moment and that way I will be able to answer John's challenge (By the way, thanks ever so much for the mention! It is greatly appreciated!) and share with you some of the stuff I have been reading recently.
So, following that same spirit, below you will find a list of 20 blogs, but with a little bit of a twist. I currently monitor several hundred feeds, so for me to reduce that to 20 is going to be rather difficult. I manage a number of different categories and having to chose 20 of those favourite blogs from each category is already quite a task! Thus since this particular blog is about Knowledge Management (Amongst other topics ;-) ) I thought about creating that list, but with 20 of my favourite blogs within the area of KM.
I want to make it very clear though that this is not my complete essential list of KM reads. To me, that would be the entire 200 KM blogs I am subscribed to right now and that I follow on a regular basis. What this list is, actually, is a whole bunch of folks who have grabbed my interest the most just recently and I will be adding a single line per blog detailing what may be of interest to you, so that you would have the opportunity to check them out further, if you wish to. And I will try to keep it short... Then perhaps at a later time I will be creating another post where I can share the complete list. But one step at a time. For now, let's get down to business and share with you all that list of 20 Knowledge Management blogs:
- Anecdote: If you are interested in narrative, sensemaking and story telling and how they can be applied within a KM environment this blog from Shawn Callahan and Mark Schenk is an essential read.
- Chieftech is the blog where James Dellow gets to share some refreshing views of KM merging both traditional and next generation aspects. Quite-thought provoking some times, too!
- Cognitive-Edge by Dave Snowden. Talking about thought-provoking... This is probably as good as it gets! If you want to know where KM originated, where KM is and where KM will be in the next few years, this is it. Dave's blog is all you need to take with you. Indispensable, engaging, enlightening, educational and most of the times mind-blowing!
