Gutenberg’s printing press initiated mass knowledge capture via books.\u00a0 The Internet is enabling another monumental knowledge boon, but this is not limited to just web pages.\u00a0 In fact, rapidly increasing pace, more multi-tasking, greater agility, and even\u00a0shortening attention spans are moving us away from the era of large, heavy books or documents to an increasing amount of micro-content.\u00a0 Major decisions and valuable knowledge can be found in micro-content including email, microblogging, and SMS mobile texting.\u00a0 The question is: how much of it is useful knowledge and how much creates noise that just makes finding the useful stuff more challenging?<\/p>\n

The above chart illustrates concepts and is not intended to indicate relative magnitudes in any dimension.\u00a0 However, it may be interesting to think about which collaborative interactions should be prioritized for knowledge retention (i.e., most valuable knowledge).\u00a0 Does the interaction medium effect the likelihood of useful information?\u00a0 or the number of people involved in the interaction?\u00a0 For example, do more real-time media lend to less pre-thought posts, perhaps resulting in less useful info early in a chat conversation, but more valuable conclusions worth saving at the end?\u00a0 In contrast, an initial blog post has considerable thought (well, some do at least) up front, followed by less formal comments by readers.\u00a0 The bottom line is we don’t know, so all if it is kept for future retroactive analysis, which leaves us in the burgeoning age of big data, with snowballing growth of lots of little data (micro-content) instead of traditional heavy data (big books and documents).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
