To get fast answers to questions about KM, I've been getting extremely good results using DEVONagent Pro software (DA).
DA is a combination search engine, web browser, and web crawler, all in one.
It can search this forum, the KM wiki, the KM documentation, plus many external blogs for any topics about KM, all at the same time.
Then it combines search results into a neatly ordered list, ordered by relevance.
90% of questions and problems posted on this forum, could be answered instantly that way.
No need to write a post.
No waiting for replies.
Little time wasted trying to find what is relevant.
Since I started using DA, it has found answers to almost all my questions about KM.
Careful readers may note that I post helpful tips and techniques on this forum, but almost no questions.
No need.
Obviously, DA can not find answers to intricate, technical problems, especially about scripting.
That's where a forum is still useful.
Today, on the DA forum, I posted how I set it up.
But, since that is a different forum, I've decided not to risk offending someone on this forum by posting an external link.
So, if interested, just search on your own.
(Or send me a private message for the link.)
(Sorry about that, but I've been instructed to be very, very, careful here about offending somebody. The exact instructions were, "tread lightly". So, if someone else wants to post the link here, fine with me, but I'm treading lightly.)

Relevant to my recommending a software program above, I just read the following post on a different thread.
[quote]"There will always be nay-sayers against any app. But don't let them put
you off, especially those that have never used the product. IMO, it
is always best to do your own research and get a variety of opinions
from trusted sources before making a decision."[/quote]
How about a round of applause?
(Note: In case there is any doubt, I am responding to the content of the post above, not the tone. Responding to tone of a post is another violation of forum rules and policies.)
