Is it a good idea to break down KM and SM adoption in the enterprise by age? I am not sure. Dave Snowden's comment to the article is quite clear that it does not. I am on the fence, but I think that the summary is true, Social Media type applications will gain more prevalence in the enterprise simply because so many baby boomers are beginning to clear out and so many millenials are moving in. If some boomers are in favor of social media then all the more reason for it's rise. link »
The technology stuff is reasonable, but the crude characterisation by age group is a nonsense. So called Boomers are amongst the highest adopters of social computing. Interestingly putting things into crude categories is a process based approach. People do not have ideas and attitudes by age group link »
KM and SM look very similar on the surface, but are actually radically different at multiple levels, both cultural and technical, link »
Nothing describes the motivation behind the creation of Facebook better than “because it was possible.” link »
It takes no great genius to predict how the war will end. The Boomers will retire and the Millenials will win by default, in a bloodless end with no great drama. KM will quietly die, and SM will win the soul of Enterprise 2.0, with the Gen X leadership quietly slipping the best of the KM ideas into SM as they guide the bottom-up revolution. link »

So what does it take to create an environment that fosters innovation? One key component is having ready access to the available knowledge. This reduces the danger of reinventing the wheel and provides a solid foundation on which innovation may be built. link »
This is what the IT department does not get. link »
