50 essential knowledge management sites and blogs.

Knowledge Management Add comments

A few weeks ago, I published a list of 26 essential knowledge management

sites (which ended up growing to 35) — which has gotten a few thousand visits since then. So I wanted to
update my list with some more sites that were suggested to me by visitors (as well as some new sites I’ve
visited since then).

Check out the updated list and let me know if you know of a site that should be added to this list. All the
feedback I got on the last list is what has allowed me to add so many more to it!

1. Aa..ha! – This blog is an eclectic mix of thinking about the human condition as well as knowledge
management. There’s a good mix of knowledge management, wisdom and just general stuff about life.

A great site for finding out what’s happening in the KM world.
