Ongoing discussions and exchanges that facilitate immediate sharing of knowledge – tacit and explicit – and also creation of new knowledge.
Conveying information to selected individuals or wider
community to create an environment of ambient

Tips on Some Tools
Most useful when engaged in the activity -- it can be a project, a subject / skill / topic one is trying to master, or a client challenge
Most useful when the learning has been given some time to crystallize so that the sharing is more cohesive and holistic.
Because it allows easy uploading of videos, images and text updates, Facebook can be used for any kind of #wol.
For team level sharing, there can be private groups.
For broader community building, one can have open groups.
It is more suited for sharing of well-thought out ideas in a visual format.
Since SlideShare users can Like, Share and download the presentations, it is best to make each presentation complete in itself.
When you have a collection of images (either created or curated) that can be grouped into topics, Pinterest comes in handy.
