This paper addresses the possibility of using the Friend-to-Friend (F2F) collaborative platform to propose an interactive knowledge sharing paradigm towards sustained collaborative knowledge sharing in a connected society. Although social media network remains a veritable platform and tool that was created for knowledge sharing; the platform still suffers security and privacy exposure since users does not have control over their data. Relying on the theoretical support of the philosophy of

This current paper approaches things differently from what obtains in literature regarding trust by towing the perspective of (i) trust that connote the feelings of vulnerability and (ii) how peers are likely to behave over time as exemplified in a strain-test situation. This context of trust makes the T-AM a novel contribution to the epistemological dimension of explicit and tacit knowledge sharing and the social dimension of knowledge organization. Interestingly, the research that resulted in the T-AM is still ongoing.
