First KMers chat experience

Submitted by swanwick on Wed, 11/25/2009 - 21:11

The KMers.org site was ready for beta launch last week in time for the KMWorld09 conference. Yesterday we launched the weekly #KMers twitter chat. I would guesstimate that we had about 15-20 people contributing to the Twitter Chat which means we probably had that number again of lurkers. Lots of quality information was shared and I believe that it was considered a success by all.

 

 

For many on the chat it was their first ever. Yet, despite a few small hiccups, everyone seemed to get the hang of it very quickly.

 

The topic (Best Ideas from KMWorld09) was not ideal for a Twitter Chat because it is more about sharing knowledge nuggets than having a conversation. Also, we had far more people who hadn’t gone to the conference and were looking for info than we had people who had gone to the conference and were sharing it. Future chats will be much more of a deeper dive into one facet of KM per chat.
