‘Knowledge’ is the current buzz word, similarly as information used to be few years back. While globe has faced the IT revolution, we are now talking about ‘knowledge management’ or ‘knowledge revolution’ into our business and practices in industries. How they can implement processes to share knowledge, set up communities of best practice etc etc. We are witnessing a change since computers advent and that change is like data to information, information to knowledge. If i am asked to anticipate next versions, i predict something like knowledge to intelligence and intelligence to wisdom ! (Imagine people talking like … this is XYZ s/w catering your wisdom management )

So, in all this farrago if a portal comes up and promises to unite all the knowledge persons (mind me, not knowledge for which there is already a big semantic project going on !) then what will bang your mind? We have bore testimony of dotcom bubble roughly from 1995-2001 during which stock markets bulls owing to the new internet sector. This period is marked by the launch of many portals which created an exuberant business environment witnessing launch of many business ideas without viability, just to encash the increased market share of dotcom companies, but since early 2000 recession, i think that this Internet industry has become more matured.

Kconnector.com (Knowledge connector) is the unique internet networking portal recently launched that claims to be a business portal aiming to make knowledge seekers help seeking their knowledge quest and to provide Business with clients, promising a long term value proposition. Illusioned in bombastic words ? In easier terms, its a social networking portal that help you in your search for persons alike you, professionally. Here you can search for persons who match your knowledge profile (KP), and also search for persons whose KP are such that they assist you in your endeavors, projects or consulting.

Its a pioneering idea, first of its kind in India. Imagine that your son is needing help in Maths and you have just switched from Wipro, Chennai to HCL, Gurgaon. A new place, alien environment and you need to find a tutor for him. Go to kconnector.com, search for profiles of people registered who are ready to give homely tution to your kid, exchange information, contacts, and that all too free of cost (atleast initially ) Now, second scenario. I am a professional, having a striking idea about which i am sure that it’ll definitely accomplish. But for that, i need similar people who are of same profile as me. Say the idea is on Risk consulting to small mutual funds. I can search the KP of people of Risk Management interested to work for mutual funds and can exchange my contacts. Its providing a common platform for all the knowledge seekers to meet.

Is this all the kconnector.com about ? Nopes…without revealing the business idea of the owners, i’ll assert that its much more. Its like a plethora of opportunities for freelancers, to get the needed professionals for project assistance, to meet the guys of your own interests and knowledge profile. Its very different from non-serious social networking sites like Yaari.com or Orkut.com where people meet old pals and make new friends. Its unique in the sense that it provides you persons whom you want in your business and profession, that add a value proposition to you.

Its too often quoted that information is most preciously valued in the present times. I chuckle if that being so then how preciously those who possess that information will be valued. The attrition rates are all time high in industry, companies are talking about talent crunch all over. To accomplish our business tasks we need right guys at the right time. And when all those guys and their related valuable information and assistance are available to you at a mouse click, its nothing less than a fortune and that too alongwith the all the regular features like scrapbook, testimonials, PMs etc of social networking sites. For all the serious users who wish to utilize internet adeptness for harnessing their skill sets, i’ll recommend register yourself at kconnector.com. You never know when you are most demanded person into someone’s affair and when your skills can make a challenging task easier for others and that too at your conditions.
