One of the interesting side effects of the pervasiveness of technology today is that work in general is becoming so digital that it sometimes completely disappears from sight. By this I mean it's trapped within our e-mail systems, IT systems, Web applications, SaaS, cloud services, document management tools, and so on. Thus the hard work we put into creating knowledge often isn't as collaborative, sharable, or discoverable as it should be . This is one of the central aspects of social media that has made it so prevalent in recent years and is the reason most of the Web today is being peer produced in such a manner.

It’s an odd question, really, when you consider how many companies are shifting some of their advertising dollars to social media.

Over the last three years, the world has undergone a social media revolution that has changed the behaviors of most of the developed world that have gone on to be validated as beneficial for the workplace .

It is not driven by a specific tool, or learning plan, but is driven by the need for information and the accountability that those engaged have to one another.
