Knowledge management can be related to writing a sentence for a five year old. You first need to learn small details such as letters of the alphabet.

While I enjoy using gadgets I do not utilize them as often as others, but I do enjoy using apps on my smartphone quite often. My favorite apps are usually social media (twitter, instagram, and snapchat) and I use them for a few different reasons. I usually just use twitter now for getting up-to-date sports information, as I have found that…[Read more]

At one of my jobs we survey fans of sports teams that attend games each week. For example, we would collect data from the Philadelphia Eagles on their ticket buyers ahead of time and send out surveys to a select group of fans that attended the game each home week.
