Last week I had a presentation around using Social Media and Web 2.0 tools to improve your performance as a knowledge worker.  One of the questions that always comes up is:

How do I find more information to help me get started?

The answer is that this information is a bit hard to come by.  There’s a lot out there, but it’s often hard to find information that helps you get start.  This was a major reason that I started down the path with Work Literacy.  That said, I thought it would be worthwhile for me to collect a few of the resources that provide good starting points that can help Knowledge Workers improve their performance using Social Media.
