Thanks Tom, you are correct there is always interaction, what makes a difference is the rate. If the interaction is via iterations of 'static' web pages it looses some of the urgency and the energy that we have in a conversation, even an asynchronous exchange such as this. I'm fasinated at the synergy introduced when you can move between different representational forms. A fully interactive critique of mindmaps adds another level to the 'conversation', imagine we were talking and working the sound bytes, we would be able to search, cluster, edit, move, copy, archive and still think with our hands free!

The magic for me happens between conversation and publishing. If there were a seemless way to integrate these genre we would be a whole lot closer to KM that currently don't you think? I'm interested in tools to help you visualize conversations, extract essential concepts, cross-correlate posts and abstract from conversation logs. The power of dialog to change alignments, mental models and behavior, record comitments and elicit collaboration needs to be combined with the ubiquity of the pulished word the clarity of graphics and the convenience of alerts. Too often we settle for either one or the other. Too often the learning is personal when it could be the whole group or critique is one to one and the remainder is denied a chance to improve. Too often the call is for access when what is needed is interaction. Too often we think monitoring others when the core value is relationship and sharing.

So Tom as you move around do knowledge dynamics not play an increasingly important role?
