COIN? #CoP
I was curious if anyone here has had any experience with COINs.
Peter Gloor defines COINs as "a cyberteam of self-motivated people
with a collective vision, enabled by the Web to collaborate in
achieving a common goal by sharing ideas, information, and work."

sort of web-enabling they are envisioning for this. I've just started
playing around with twitter. ( twitter.com ). Was invented by the
same guy who invented blogs at google. At first it doesn't seem like
much of an app, but in terms of supporting free wheeling idea
generation and fostering group cohesion on a virtual team, it strikes
me as having great potential.

It turns out that Twitter was VERY useful during the Calif fires a few months back and anytime a distributed group needs to coordinate/ collaborate/etc. It's like stopping by your cubicle, even if I am 3000 miles away. Just keep the nuisance messages down...

Interesting idea. Will read the article link. Makes me wonder what

Yes, Twitter has potential that was overshadowed by many initial users
spamming all of their friends with useless information [i.e. I'm
driving to work now] -- they did it because they could.

I’m teaching a class as part of a KM Master’s program at Cal State Northridge. One of the things I’ve thought about is using Twitter to “track” what a CKO or other person doing KM type work does all day so that we could give the students an idea of what a typical day-week-month might look like. Has anyone tried anything like this?

Re: COIN?
We use twitter in our distributed team of 6 to keep the sense of being connected. It gives us the feeling of people in a room together when we are not. Consequently, we encourage some of the banal banter (but not too much). It's what you would hear in an office environment: footy team wins, just baked some muffins, long ride on the bike on the weekend, kids are running wild in the house.
Cheers
