I like this website and have read most of the topics. I post the homepage URL to show all the topics available, but take note of the few topics on project management. I've had a long interest in the convergence of PM & KM, and both share some similar qualities from the systems-oriented perspective.

Audience response system that uses mobile phones, twitter, and the web. Responses are displayed in real-time on gorgeous charts in PowerPoint, Keynote, or web browser. I saw this in a professional development course I was in this summer. I think it could be a useful way to engage people in the process --- especially if you are working virtually and are on a webinar. Results show almost instantly.

That's very cool Jean. Of course, my immediate thought is to use it in the classroom. However, I could see a project manager using Poll Everywhere to poll a team for feedback.
