PKM tools

The roles of networking, collaborative skills and social capital are 'contested domains' for PKM which is often about individual responsibility and the organization of information and records.

My list of PKM tools:
* PC based search and indexing engines
* PIMs & outliners
* Concept and mindmaps (that do not encourage collaborative editing / design)
* Blogs
* Word processors
* Spreadsheets
* Tracking and link repositories
* E-mail clients
* Web homepages
* RSS aggregator
* Personal thinking / visualization tools

The key distinction between KM and PKM tools then is individual vs. shared spaces, personal vs. collaborative environments. Ask yourself -  who has control: 'me' vs. 'us'.

Reflecting on PKM - it's not mainly about individual branding, networking for personal gain, learning or thought collation.

PKM merits a wider mandate.

I am not sure if your distinction is applicable to quite recently released PKM/KM tool called Backpackit.
