What is Knowledge Sharing?

Knowledge sharing is a way in which regular people like me can share what I know (i.e. facts, tips, skills job leads or celebrity gossip) with friends, family, fans of my blogs or people that I encounter on message boards.


One way to make sure that you message is seen is through social networking. Social networking is the practice of expanding the number of one's business and/or social contacts by making connections through individuals.


Another way to spread knowledge is through crowdsourcing. Crowdsourcing is the act of outsourcing tasks, traditionally performed by an employee or contractor, to an undefined, large group of people or community through an open call.

Here are ten clever ways that people can choose to share their knowledge, just to show how every aspect of online commerce, research and even human interaction are changing.


Social Networking


LinkedIn is a business-oriented social networking site that people can use to find job/professional contacts. The purpose of the site is to allow registered users to    maintain a list of contact details of people they know and trust in business.


Twitter  is a social networking/microblogging service that allows its users to send and read messages called tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 characters displayed on the user's profile page. Users may subscribe to other users' tweets—this is known as followers and subscribers are known as followers.                          
                         


Facebook is a social network service that allows users to create a personal profile, add other users as friends and exchange messages, including automatic notifications when they update their profile. Users may also join common interest groups, organized by workplace, school, or college, or other characteristics.  

Crowdsourcing

Anyone with Internet access can write and make changes to Wikipedia articles. Users can contribute annoymously, under a pseudonym, or with their real identity, if they choose.
