Thanks for the resource.

As far Denham's argument that PKM is just "hyped-up IM," I would suggest he read Daniel Pink's "A Whole New Mind: Why Right-Brainers will Rule the Future." As Pink argues, being effective in today's world is more than just collecting information; it is the synthesis of the information into new knowledge that can be used for problem-solving. Thomas Homer-Dixon makes the same arguments in his "The Ingenuity Gap : Facing the Economic, Environmental, and Other Challenges of an Increasingly Complex and Unpredictable Future."

As Weicker has observed, all knowledge begins with the individual. Thus an organization's knowledge management system is dependent on the individual PKMs of its members.

Look where folksonomies have gotten us. Everyone today is so enamoured of "tagging" that there is little categorization, little organization. It's a funny example, but you should see how hard College Humor is to use now that they moved to tags and away from categories.

Process is not a knowledge killer. That's flat wrong. Process is about organizing information (perhaps not "knowledge") so it becomes useful. Who cares about archiving emails and IM's if it's not useful?
