Speed vs. quality & depth: How to combine fast (information) flow and slow space?
Related Chat Event:
KM could be considered to help 'increase the frequency and quality of conversations that get your job done". And yet we're having ever more and ever faster conversations that in the end may lose the focus to get the job done. How do we pace KM initiatives and how do we balance things out between on the one hand hyperactive Twittering/blogging/yammering/tumblring/flickring, i.e. a very fast pace of information sharing and on the other hand the need to create space for even deeper reflection, slowing down to go beyond the surface and building richer relationships (and trust) among ourselves? Related questions (potentially as pointers in the chat event): - Is there a pacing issue? Where and why? - How to combine the need for slow space and fast pace? - How does technology enable or hinder the balance between the two? Or which technologies help accommodate slow pacing vs. fast pacing? - Same question with face-to-face facilitation? - What are personal experiences to combine the two and survive an ever faster information overflow? Do we need a pace-KMer?

If, the tweet is "I have just created this blog entry about x" one could view the tweet, with it's limited character count, as adding some meaning and context to the blog entry allowing the person to decide whether it is relevant for them.
In essence this is a little like the adding relational data to web links - the semantic web. But at a higher level (and for humans!).
Therefore it can help in wading through the information morass. Of course there are exceptions (such as someone tweeting and misinterpreting the context of the blog).
Further, one could view the tweet -> to blog post -> then developed into a whitepaper -> finally developed into a peer-reviewed journal article as a form of information or knowledge development. Whether a topic will go through this development will depend upon our judgement - do we think the topic ought to be investigated more? And that will depend on context.
So to come back to your question, pace may be determined by the perceived value of the content of the tweet/blog etc.
Your issue is the matter of learning process taken place in between information domain toward knowledge domain and beyond. For some reasons Web 2.0 and beyond seems in reality already acting as our pace-KMer, not as in 1.0 era, Web 2.0 really supposed as our new learning and working space instead of prior conventional space. Web 2.0 that generates Social Media (SM) platform and boosting many social learning tools and strategies within showing the evidence. From the phenomenon, we currently have “know where” learning trend to cope your issue instead of the previous “know what” and “know how” learning.
By nature, the speed of processing Data to Information is much faster significantly compared with processing Information to Knowledge and beyond. Thanks to Web 2.0, we’re able to compress, among others through digital content compression technology, the Data / Information content to put into transforming with speeder tempo to create faster space for even deeper reflection toward Knowledge and beyond . As conclusion, we don’t need special pace-KMer, but make Web 2.0 more advantages by put it toward Web 3.0 or behaving as Semantic Web. And of course you yourself should do better in “learning how to learn” (PKM) and this in turn should also applied to our organizational learning
