Some linked up resources along these lines:
- RSS feeds
(understand RSS feeds; obtain a feed aggregator such as Google Reader; subscribe to the relevant blogs and websites in one’s discipline; create your own blog, using WordPress for example; post your own relevant items on it, while not forgetting to point people towards your own RSS feed!) - Twitter
(get an account; identify knowledgeable people; follow them on twitter; post your own items on twitter) - See if there are some Yammer-based communities of practice in your enterprise or in your desired discipline (there are other social networking/learning applications as well)
- LinkedIn
Join groups that line up with your industry, your profession and your professional aspirations, engage in discussions on best practice and use your groups and connections as a network of colleagues. - Facebook
“Like” institutions or organizations that are relevant to your area of interest and reach out to individuals within your field. - Community bookmarking tools such as Delicious or diigo
- Ways to discover content on the web such as StumbleUpon or Digg
