Podcasting:

Podcasting has been described as “the distribution of audio or video files, such as radio programs or music videos, over the internet using either RSS for listening on mobile devices and personal computers.” (Podcasting legal guide, May 11, 2006).

Podcasting plays a key role in organisation like if there is any announcements regarding work methods , they can announce in the podasting . Like in Amazon Development Centre , final solution from the kaizen research are announced in speakers, while we are working itself. Once we lisign to the new information we need to go through it.

So can we collaborate Web 2.0 and knowledge sharing : According to Louise Druce , companies need to provide training and knowledge sharing thoughts to they employees. They need to give some examples to follow and let them comfortably use the tools. There are also social networking tools used by organisation like Ning, CollectiveX, Sossoon, Hiitch, Huddle, Mzinga, British Telecom’s Workspace , Clearspace, and even Microsoft’s Sharepoint. In all these social groups employees from a company can communicate with other in batter way.

Using these tools we can easily discuss about the problems in an organisation, thus making sharing knowledge on problems. This technique is not new for my previous organisation where we used to have a group called Kaizen (japanese term for continious improvement) team. Member s in that group continiously work on small mistakes done where customere are disstisfied using our services. We strive to improve and introduce a new functions .
