subject: When Knowledge Is Everything [print this page] Oh, many of us can probably say quite much the same thing when it comes to knowledge. Could have more in many situations.
Finding knowledge these days shouldnt be so hard. We have internet, phone services, sales people everyone telling us how, what and where.
What about the fact that how relevant the information is? Does anyone think about this. How do you find the relevant information then? Well, luckily enough usually if you are thinking about something or pondering around something, the answer already exists. You just have to start digging in the Internet. If it doesnt exist yet, dont worry. Someone will do it soon.
Portals are a great example of places where companies, people and communities gather their information. This way It is easy to share and easy to communicate with the people that need the information.
A portal starts to live when the people find it. Usually it is actually the people that bring most of the know-how to the portal and therefore it is usually accurate and reliable information.
A great example of a company initiative is hakkapedia. It is a great place to find knowledge on tyres, roads and basically anything that has anything to do with cars or driving.
Hakkapedia is the source of information for many people who dont really know what really makes a tire safe and which type to choose for the road.
Tire is also a great example of a thing where knowledge is pretty much everything. When you have the knowledge you can really choose the right tire for your needs. By doing so you increase your safety exponentially. Hakkapeliitta does this work constantly to create better tyres for roads.
There are many situations where you wish you had more knowledge on something. There are great sources for different kind of information. It really pays the effort to crawl through these sites and portals because you really get more information on everything. It is like going to school when you browse the Internet for your own sake.
Remember that everything what you find in the Internet is not accurate. When you combine the information you have and the basic human instincts, you should be able to spot accurate and non-accurate information from the pool.
