Various organisations have started using Twitter for knowledge management, so I decided to have a look and see what all the hype is about.
I am currently involved in a module for my B Com Honours degree on campus which entails the usage of twitter as a knowledge management tool. Twitter allows people to post anything up to 140 characters, some people say that this is too little to get your point across, however I feel it is just about right as it forces you to keep your message concise and to the point. Students post information and are encouraged to use relevant hashtags, so that other students can search for the information they require via these hashtags.
