Chicago Get-together?

Klogging in Chicago. I’ll be in Chicago for a conference in early October and I’m very interested in meeting knowledge-focused webloggers in the area. [Blunt Force Trauma]

Terry – there’s a bunch of us. Jenny, Jim, Eric, Mike, me and others I’m sure I’m forgetting. We keep promising each other a get-together – maybe this is our […]


Knowledge Is Not a Zero Sum Game

From Blunt Force Trauma comes this great post about KM:

Share More, Get MoreKnowledge isn’t like money, when you give it away you don’t have less. Ron Lusk points us to a wiki page on knowledge sharing started by Denham Grey. Denham is out there, often on the way, far, celestial event horizon of knowledge management, […]


Community isn’t built - it’s grown

Just found another good marketing blog, POELog. This post is relevant on a number of fronts, and is certainly interesting in the context of the k-log conversation that’s been ongoing:


MarketingProfs.com: Design for Community: An Interview with Derek M. Powazek – Some great nuggets of wisdom about community, web design and core truths about developing and […]


Updated About Page

I updated the about this site page, incorporating changes with liveTopics and activeRenderer, and removing info about items that were no longer on the site. Request: if you’re new to this site, take a look at the page and tell me if you can figure out what’s going on. Since many people hitting this site […]


CRM - Product or Strategy?

I gave a presentation last week at LawNet, and my co-presenter was Peter Lamb, IT Direcor at a customer of ours in Toronto. They’ve been ridiculously successful with the product – they report 96% of the lawyers using the system regularly, and senior management sees it as critical to their overall success.

Peter made a number […]


Blog On!

Blog On!
by Rick Klau
(A version of this article was originally published in the April, 2002 ABA Law Practice Management Magazine.)

If I told you I had my own Web page, you’d probably cringe. Personal Web pages are the antithesis of the mantra in Field of Dreams, “If you build it, they will come.” No, they won’t. […]


Wanna Get Published?

The ABA Law Practice Management Magazine is running a “Reader Letters” page for the October issue. If you want to get a letter in to them responding to either of my two articles about weblogs (here and here), e-mail me no later than tomorrow morning. I’ll forward them on to the editor.


Stick a Fork in SatireWire

Too bad. The site responsible for many of those e-mails that were too funny to have been written by your friend’s friend? Most of them came from SatireWire. Some of my favorites:


Remaining CEOs Make a Run for Mexico

K-Logs in Action

Klog examples.

Dylan Tweney says. In Business 2.0, Dylan Tweney says a weblog is a “ quick-and-dirty, easy-to-use knowledge management system.”   [Scripting News]
Some good, quick examples of klogs in action including Traction at Verizon and Radio in the state of Utah. [McGee’s Musings]

Let’s not forget that one of Traction’s investors is In-Q-Tel, the V.C. arm of […]


Software Licensing - a Programmer Needs Help!

Matt Mower, author of liveTopics, is struggling with how to license what he’s written. My excitement over liveTopics grows the more I think about how it adds value to my blog (that value is purely internal – it makes it easier for me to “remember” things I’ve written about, and to see the threads of […]
