Tools like Loom and CloudApp seem pretty cool. One concern I have about them, though, is using them to cover information that is internal to my company. It seems like the resulting videos / GIFs are stored in those third parties' own systems. I couldn't get a good idea of how they would protect, say, proprietary information recorded by them. Does anyone have any experience with these sorts of tools that could comment?
It sounds like you and your team are taking a great approach to knowledge sharing. Thanks for sharing! The promotion requirements from the top communicate that knowledge sharing matters. And the way your team shares knowledge focuses on creating content people want. It's not just documenting because you "should."<p>This is totally in-line with what I've learned about effective knowledge sharing. People tend to ad-hoc share knowledge as needed instead of thoroughly maintaining a wiki. This isn't bad. With ad-hoc sharing, like with your Loom video, you have a clear recipient in mind. Your effort is valuable.<p>(I'm building an app to help you keep your private notes better organized so this ad-hoc sharing is easier. In bytebase.io you write your notes like you're texting. "Texting" lets you be fast and messy. It also adds modularity to your notes. Modular notes are easier to organize).
Nice write-up. I second the endorsement of Loom. It's so much easier to record your screen and talk then to type out an email and take screenshots.
