At the same time as popular commercial platforms such as Twitter and Flickr have brought attention to the fundamental power of microcontent, the inventor of the WWW and others are promoting the transformative vision of the Semantic Web. What does this mean for you and your organization when you have little enough time for the regular, everyday web? How do you navigate through the hype and tap the real opportunities for mission-fulfilling engagement? In this ninety-minute workshop, we'll show you how, including:
- an unambiguous method for choosing between the plethora of new "opportunities"
- low risk ways to stage your use of microcontent and demonstrate clear value as you do so
- ways to leverage and enrich your existing resources, rather than distracting from them
- a strategy for turning your current content flows into a rapidly growing platform for innovation
- introducing microcontent to lower barriers to participation through your organization
- the long term value of microcontent for knowledge management and learning
Rather than being pulled first in one direction and then another by the hype associated with one small piece of the microcontent vision, why not ground your decisions in your own organization's mission and methods? If you think there is something to this vision and you're interested in pursuing it, then this workshop is right for you.
