Social Media for Knowledge Workers

Last week I had a presentation around using Social Media and Web 2.0 tools to improve your performance as a knowledge worker.  One of the questions that always comes up is:

How do I find more information to help me get started?

The answer is that this information is a bit hard to come by.  There’s a lot out there, but it’s often hard to find information that helps you get start.  This was a major reason that I started down the path with Work Literacy.  That said, I thought it would be worthwhile for me to collect a few of the resources that provide good starting points that can help Knowledge Workers improve their performance using Social Media.

Overview of Knowledge Work and Social Media

Keeping Track of Information

Handling the Flow of New Information

Networks, Communities and Collaboration

Twitter

Personal Learning Environments

Some More Specific Tactics

I will try to come back and update this post as I find good introductory resources on this topic.
