How Feeds Help with KM

Unveiling this blog is giving me another reason why feeds help people with knowledge management. For some reason, I feel very challenged explaining why feeds can help with knowledge management, which is my portion of Tuesday's talk. This blog has content gathered over the last seven months. It contains many fabulous resources about blogs and knowledge management. But how many people are actually going to dig through the accumulated content? Handing someone this blog as a giant chunk of information is quite different from giving someone a few posts every few days. Going back through seven months seems a bit daunting. Looking at a post every day or so seems much more reasonable.

The lack of features like categories also strains new readers. There's no easy way for someone to get a cursory glance at the topics we've covered or to look at things that might interest them the most. The navigational choices of a search engine or mousing through the archives seem limited and limiting.
