Saving Time on Knowledge Sharing

An idea on how to save time on collaboration and sharing knowledge across the world.
"One idea being pursued by Luke Koons, director for information and knowledge management, is "dynamic profiling" -- technologies that automatically summarize areas on which a researcher or a manager is focusing, based on the subjects of their e-mails and Web searches. Such a regularly updated profile could make it less time-consuming to locate potential collaborators and resources, an especially daunting prospect in a large, innovation-minded company such as Intel. Equally important, dynamic profiling doesn't force individuals to spend hours manually updating their profiles as their focus changes."


I think del.icio.us can also be a kind of dynamic profile tool that is very efficient at locating domain-knowledge experts. But connecting and communicating to people remains a time-consuming process.
