4:17 pm ChiefExecMom: Q3 We do a lot of surveys! #KMers
4:19 pm KnowledgeBishop: I've been learning a great deal from @MindTouch and @Attensity, as well as free tools like Social Mention. #kmers
4:21 pm KnowledgeBishop: If you go to www.socialmention.com and enter the name of your product or brand, you may be fascinated. Care to try it? #kmers
4:21 pm kcbower: Q3. I'm sure there are tools and methods, but co. website offers no links to opt in - must all be via outreach. #KMers
4:22 pm ChiefExecMom: @KnowledgeBishop Have you implemented the tools much? In what context? #KMers
4:23 pm KnowledgeBishop: Q4: Which internal department is best equipped to review #ugc, to ensure accuracy adding said content to a KMS? #KMers
4:26 pm KnowledgeBishop: In other words, were you to discover valuable knowledge about your brand that was generated externally, who would need to review it? #KMers
4:28 pm kcbower: RT @KnowledgeBishop: If you go to www.socialmention.com and enter the name of your product or brand... Wow. V. useful tool, report. #KMers
4:29 pm ChiefExecMom: Q4. Our KM dept is well trained in protecting client confidentiality while sharing key insights, so def first resource to review #KMers
4:30 pm ChiefExecMom: @KnowledgeBishop Oh, generated externally, I think that would go to marketing #KMers
4:31 pm KnowledgeBishop: I've found amazing external content about our brands. I'm exploring processes around integration: Must ensure accuracy, legality, etc #kmers
4:33 pm KnowledgeBishop: The future could bring real-time data conversion apps that intake #ugc, convert it to XML and initiate workflow for KB inclusion #KMers
4:36 pm KnowledgeBishop: Q5: Are there internal teams would feel users should NOT add knowledge to the repository? If so, what objections would be likely? #KMers
4:37 pm kcbower: @KnowledgeBishop Have any examples of apps like this in development? #KMers
4:37 pm kcbower: @KnowledgeBishop Do you mean internal or external? #KMers
4:38 pm kcbower: RT @kcbower: @KnowledgeBishop Do you mean internal or external? - sorry, meant in reference to users #KMers
4:38 pm KnowledgeBishop: Yes, are there internal teams that would oppose adding external user content to the internal kb? If so, what reasons would be given? #kmers
4:42 pm kcbower: @KnowledgeBishop Yes, I wouldn't be surprised by opposition. Would think concerns would relate to perspective and accuracy, at least. #KMers
4:44 pm KnowledgeBishop: Q6: What are the greatest benefits your org could receive, if your internal knowledge were to be integrated with #ugc? #KMers
4:45 pm JohnFMoore: RT @KnowledgeBishop: If you go to www.socialmention.com and enter the name of your product or brand, you may be fascinated. #kmers
4:49 pm kcbower: Q6. Think greatest benefits would be for marketing and innovation team; can cull for ideas - http://tinyurl.com/2dsllq3 #KMers
4:51 pm KnowledgeBishop: An org rarely employs more authors than it has customers. Count on #ugc volume to grow faster than #km or #techcomm. We must adjust. #kmers
4:53 pm kcbower: @KnowledgeBishop Have to go, but thanks for moderating! Gave me something to think about. Take care, all! #KMers
