The volume of information continues to grow at an exponential rate; new tools, products and web services appear almost daily. Despite the recession, nothing seems to stem the tide of innovation. If anything, the economic climate has enabled companies to be even more radical in the way they create and use information. These are challenging times for the knowledge and information professional. We all need to be able to work smarter, acquiring and developing the skills to become more effective knowledge and information workers.

5 steps to heaven

Step 1 – Tune into the interesting stuff

Unread items (bold) Number of subscriptions My categories Publish (RSS) Bundles of Subscriptions

Email subscriptions

Step 2 – Sharing, Reciprocation & Trust

My Network http://www.delicious.com My network’s bookmarks and tags My Fans

Sharing One click is often all that is needed

Trust I post a link to an article, it gets Retweeted. They don’t ask where the link goes. They don’t ask what the article is about. They just retweet it, because in the past @xxxxxxxxxx has sent them to a favourable destination. There is inherent trust that it’s not a malware or virus link and credibility that they can pass the link on to their followers and not look stupid. So how is this influence? I never asked for a retweet, they were “naturally influenced” to do so.

Step 3 – Get organised

Page categories RSS Feeds http://www.google.com/ig Google Widgets

Step 4 – Pick the right tools

Tabbed browsing Blog bookmarklet One-click page bookmark Amplify bookmarklet Delicious side-bar plug-in (embedded tag search)

Step 5 – Connect with peers and experts
