Some time ago I posted a note questioning whether we (community) had
observed the march of knowledge management as a discipline into the gaping
IT maw. There were two (maybe three) reply posts that suggested that
there was a lot going on in the social/cultural arena, but that KM was
more than just technology. On the other hand, I received 23 personal
replies saying, in essence, "Yeah! And it's worse than you think ..."
Hmmm ...
Today I visited a web site that purported to be keeping a careful eye on
developments in knowledge management for us all ... guess what?
Technology-watch.
"... (company X)'s OLAP solution ..."
"... ability to commerce-enable individual pages ..." (I think
"commerce-enable" is a verb here)
I'd go on, but it gets even worse, so I'll spare the group.
Folks, I'm no Luddite, but sometimes I wonder if we don't need to rein all
this in ... perhaps Ted K. was right (not in method, but in sentiment).

[Host's Note: I'll vouch for Steve as no Luddite. Not sure what is the
"Ted K." reference. ...Rick]
