Knowledge, Learning, Community

This was a Twitter thread found via Boris Mann's new Ghost-based blog, though you'll probably get more value out of the full post. Anyhow, Sari Azout has a good point right in the middle of it: "Our feed-based information architecture  has made us obsessive consumers of the present, yet largely indifferent to the archives of the past." Quite so, which is why a trend toward associative context-rich knowledge resources is encouraging. It was mainly the Venn diagram that attracted me to the post, covering as it does three key aspects of such a network: knowledge management, curation, and community. But we need more. We need the key component of creativity, which is what draws on and feeds the system in the first place.
