1. Introduction Hamilton Beazley once said: “Knowledge is the new capital, but it is worthless unless it is accessible, communicated and improved” (Beazley cited in Field, 2003). With the advent of all the tools and technologies available, especially on the Internet today, accessing, communicating and improving knowledge has become much easier. This article aims to discuss two such tools and technologies, namely collaborative virtual workspaces and microblogging. These tools and technologies will be defined, how they are used, some of their advantages and disadvantages as well as how they can be used in knowledge management and knowledge management processes.2. Collaborative Virtual Workspaces2.1 Definition of Collaborative Virtual WorkspacesCollaborative virtual workspaces allow people to work together, share documents, edit collaboratively, and hold video and/or audio conferences. This is made possible through the use of software created specifically for collaboration. Being virtual workspaces also means that users can collaborate with each other from anywhere in the world. It is not necessary to be in physical proximity (ed. Young, 2010). There are a multitude of tools that can be used to facilitate collaboration. Google Docs, for example, is an online document editing tool that allows you to create, edit, share and access your documents/presentations/spreadsheets/forms/drawings from anywhere and at any time. At the time of writing, it is free to use for anyone with a Google account and provides 15 GB of storage (https://drive.google.com). Microsoft SharePoint is another tool of this type, more business oriented that allows the storage, access and sharing of information within organizations ...... middle of paper ...... only under a condensed form, due to the prospect of discussions and information sharing.4. ConclusionIt should be clear that when it comes to creating, providing access, editing and sharing information, collaborative virtual workspaces and microblogging simplify these processes exponentially. Since they are relatively easy to use or may be easy to learn how to use, it may be easier to argue why to use these tools rather than move away from them. If used correctly and effectively, they can be of great benefit to almost any user. organizations, particularly if those organizations wish to promote a culture of information and knowledge sharing, as well as when organizations have branches in multiple geographic locations. Essentially, these tools contribute to making information and knowledge accessible, communicable and can, to a large extent, enable their valorization..
