Knowledge management revisited

This paragraph from Christian's new site pretty much defines what I believe Knowledge Management ought to represent today. Its much more than the traditional view of merely storing data in a convenient to locate fashion.

Its about the knowledge/ information being instantly available to the right people, at the right time, and in the right way.

I believe there is an opportunity beyond these tools and websites to reach people. The underlying premise to my work is that people want to help people - but unless it is easy for people to find service opportunities, they won't necessarily seek them out. Existing tools are fine for people looking for opps, but I am interested in finding ways to make it more viral - using network science and collaboration technology to push knowledge of these service opportunities out to a broader audience.
