David Gurteen’s Knowledge Letter

GURTEEN View: Gurteen Knowledge Letter

I have been a member of David Gurteen’s on-line Knowledge Community for about a year now. His website is a tremendous resource comprising web links, book details, people profiles and event summaries. It is well worth a look. I also subscribed to David’s newsletter. There are a lot of sites offering regular newsletters, many of them are a bit feeble. David’s newsletter is full of great information and links. As a rough guide, I usually spend anything up to an hour exploring the various links and sources of information which he cites in each issue. The link takes you to the archive of newsletters – why don’t you sign up to the newsletter too? It goes to over 12,000 people in over 130 countries. David sees himself as a knowledge management specialist, but you don’t have to be into KM to find his information useful.

On the subject of newsletters, I’m experimenting with the idea of a newsletter. I have put together a pilot issue for June. It would contain the blog entries for the previous month and any other internet stuff that I thought might be interesting. I’m aware that not everyone wants to check a blog regularly (although you can use useful services like Bloglines to make it easier – see subscribe button to the right). So I thought a newsletter might help. Comments welcome on this.
