"ownCloud helps enterprises concerned about sensitive data leakage via Dropbox deliver a secure file sync and share solution on site, on their storage, integrated with their infrastructure and security systems, managed to their policies. The result is an easy-to-use solution that provides complete control over sensitive corporate data." from source: https://owncloud.com
This is a solution that makes a lot of sense to me. Keeping the curation and management of content locally will allow personal and enterprise installations to share content among their community.
Be sure to read @RobinGoods' comments below that are much more detailed than mine.

"What does this mean? Well, John divides KM projects into two groups, judged by the broader goals the project is designed to accomplish (separated by a Big K and little k, to be exact). “Little k” projects aim to capture new knowledge gleaned through solving customer problems and sharing them with employees and customers, while “Big K” projects are much more broad.
In our area of expertise, which John defines as “Big K,” we’re finding that organizations are truly struggling to keep track of information housed in an increasingly diverse and populated amount of internal and external systems. This means that KM projects are always ongoing; the systems in place to house relevant knowledge are never fully up to date." from source: http://www.customerthink.com/blog/

"Google has launched (literally) Project Loon because two-thirds of the world’s population does not yet have Internet access. Project Loon is a network of balloons traveling on the edge of space, designed to connect people in rural and remote areas, help fill coverage gaps, and bring people back online after disasters.
Project Loon starts this month with an experimental pilot in New Zealand, with the launch of 30 balloons which will beam Internet to a small group of pilot testers. The experience of these pilot testers will be used to refine the technology and shape the next phase of Project Loon." from source: http://www.whatsnextblog.com/
First there was the idea of low, slow flying solar aircraft with internet radios to provide internet coverage over an area of say, a county. Now Google has upped the stakes with Project Loon. Using balloons at 20Km near the stratosphere in a mesh like network. This network with communicate among the peers in space to stations on the ground that will then spread the internet more widely. I will be curious to see how this progresses.

"THE LEARNING PRACTICE, founded by Melodie Hicks, serves organizations by engaging professionals in unique, rigorous and transformative programs that support individuals and groups on their learning journeys.
THE LEARNING PRACTICE offers innovative programs with three complementary goals: personal insight; new knowledge; and skill building. We use techniques grounded in empirically established learning principles.
By guiding participants through a process of discovery, giving equal focus to building personal insight and inspiration, subject knowledge, and skills and techniques, we support participants to shape their own learning.
One of the core goals of a learning program is to support the individual’s learning process, and because no two situations or participants are the same, THE LEARNING PRACTICE collaborates extensively with clients to tailor each program to their specific needs." from source: http://thelearningpractice.com/
This process is interesting to me in that the process engages "lifelong learners." I'll need to read more to better understand it and how it can be applied.

Digital data stem from our own personal and social cognitive processes and thus express them in one way or another. But we still don’t have any scientific tools to make sense of the data flows produced by online creative conversations at the scale of the digital medium as a whole.

What about all of the knowledge and information acquired by an organization and its employees in the normal course of business? Should this information be shared?
The best part about this is that people are sharing their knowledge and ideas without expecting any immediate return on their investment of time and resources. Instead, there is a sort of unwritten rule to “pay it forward” because someday soon you will be the one needing advice.

"You know I am a firm believer in business led Knowledge Management Strategy.
At a meeting yesterday, I saw this presented in a very striking and visual way, through the use of a Strategy Map.
A strategy map is a pretty well established way of mapping out the strategy of a company in a visual way, The approach was invented by Bill Kaplan, and is well described in this HBR article (from which the example to the right - a strategy map of Volvo Dealership - is taken). A strategy map can be linked to Balanced Scorecard, and can be used to explain why a company is choosing the initiatives that it has." from source: http://www.nickmilton.com/

From easy and unlimited access to journal articles to web tools that do the referencing and auto-syncing, everything has been digitized making it way easier for todays researchers to add to the body of the human knowledge than any time in history."

"The book's first part looks at KM practices in e-learning and covers techniques and methodologies. The second part contains several case studies looking at applications of KM to e-learning in businesses, government agencies, and universities in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, U.K., and Europe. The book concludes with a summary of future trends by experts at these organizations. This book ties knowledge management (KM) with e-learning as complementary approaches, highlighting the leading and emerging work being accomplished in this space. These chapters explain knowledge capture, retention, transfer, and sharing."
I will have to look into this book to see whether it meets my needs. My organization has an interest in both aspects of KM and e-learning, for internal purposes as well as our constituents and customers.

Mobile usage is expanding rapidly, while the mobile advertising opportunity remains largely untapped. The report reviews the shifting online landscape, which has become more social and content rich, with expanded use of photos, video and audio. Looking ahead, the report finds early signs of growth for wearable computing devices, like glasses, connected wrist bands and watches - and the emergence of connected cars, drones and other new platforms."

If you are looking for a good and safe alternative to Drobox or Box.net here is one: Owncloud is an open source software which you can install on your own web server and which provides you not only with full file storage and sharing capabilties, but also with the ability to connect directly to other file storage services and to run HTML5 apps.
Excerpted from the Techcrunch review: "OwnCloud is a free software suite, written in PHP, that provides file storage, synchronization, and sharing. It provides the same basic features of Dropbox or Box.net."
"The core ownCloud offering is file storage and synchronization. You also get optional contacts and calendar synchronization, if you want to use it. As an open source application, you can install it on any computer you control. This means you know how and where your data is stored, something which existing hosted solutions abstract away from you. Individuals and enterprises can install ownCloud on their own hardware, and define access policies according to their own needs."
"...the ownCloud mobile client can automatically upload pictures taken from your phone."
"...ownCloud can be connected to third-party storage like Dropbox or Google Drive or even an FTP server. These are read-write connections, allowing you to use third-party storage in whatever ways make sense for you..."
"...ownCloud supports HTML5 applications, allowing you to add all sorts of additional functionality. The ownCloud app catalog has dozens of apps."
