Writing is seen as separate from what people are 'doing', which is part of the perceptual problem. Most of what they are doing involves consumption or production of information, [2:11] so the problem is not that they are not producing stuff, but the mechanism for collecting is separate from production mechanism.
[2:45] What we need are systems that help you create information while doing whatever you do. It's not about scanning computers for files and harvesting. Stephen's website grew out of a strategy for dealing with information. It can be very simple - as simple as it needs to be for the individual.
[5:00] The notion of sharing does go against current corporate culture, and this hurdle needs to be overcome. Maybe the term publishing is getting in the way.
[5:55] And the question that many of us in elearning have wondered over the years 'how long does OLDaily take to do?' No extra time beyond reading email, making notes about stuff found on the web = 1 to 1&1/2 hours per day.
[8:55] Capture information in a digital format - not pen and paper, but electronic formats.
