I discovered Stan Garfield’s list of knowledge management Twitterers recently. There were 47 at the time and I was pleased to be included. About a third were new ones for me and I decided to follow most of them after checking out their recent tweets. Stan also has an excellent list of knowledge management bloggers.
Stan links to several other lists of knowledge management Twitters including David Gurteen’s KM Twitter list and Patrick DiDomenico’s KM Twitter List.
Stan also provided other KM Twitter groups to join: Twitter Groups Knowledge Management (KM) Practitioners and Flocks/KM.
I also discovered an interesting Twitter app – WeFollow. You can add your Twiter feed and pick three tags. You can also search by these tags to help decide what to choose and see who else is using these tags. I tried the tag, KM, and found 10,355 Twitterers sorted by popularity. The others I tried are listed below with the Twitters at the time of discovery. The numbers have jumped by several thousand in each in the last few days.
You seem to be able to go back and register again and add more tags. However, they wipe out the old tags so you are limited to three. I ended up picking KM, knowledgemanagement, and enterprise 20 on my third try.
e20 – 7,869 sorted by popularity
enterprise20 – 13,347
KM – 10,355
knowledgemanagement – 3,998
This is another way to find relevant KM and enterprise 2.0 twitters. There is also the enterprise 2.0 Twitter list started by Susan Scrupski.
Twitter on.

Bill, I recently posted my thoughts on Twitter as a tool for PKM.

I plan to talk about this and related topics at KMWORLD 2009
I’ll see you there!
Eric
I look forward to your twitter session. I am part of a panel on Twitter and business at the Enterprise 2.0 conference in Boston this summer. Bill
I hear that you will also be speaking at KM World in November in San Jose. I hope to make it that conference, e.g. to hear you speak.
Eric
Thanks Look forward to seeing you there. Bill
