Below is a link to a Dave Polard's blog with the same title. it is worth a read because it is a very good description of what we are trying to create with QuickDraft.

In a recent post I advocated almost a complete replacement of existing knowledge management systems and intranets with a three-tiered set of simple, intuitive tools consisting of:

1. Personal content management tools -- to help people organize their personal information (and other information they've aggregated) their way, and identify who they will permit to access it under what circumstances ('permissioning')

2. Metadata tools (invisible to the user) -- to automatically reorganize this personal content for effective, permitted use by others

3. Social networking applications -- to help people identify other people (inside and outside their organization) with particular expertise or shared interests, connect and collaborate with these people and with people in the individual's self-defined networks, via Simple Virtual Presence, browse and subscribe to others' permissioned personal content, and publish their own permissioned content.

Here is the full post.
