Really, there is no war between KM and SM. Here, more important is how KM and SM helps to meet company goals and business objectives. His view on KM is not correct. He comes from technical background and blaming Knowledge Managers, not a create idea. And also, KM strongly believe in people aspect, technology is the secondary aspect in any Web 2.0 or KM implementation. If no one use Web 2.0 tool in enterprise, then what is the use of this tool. So, what I think KM and SM both should come under same umbrella to achieve the organization goal.
