Ah, intranets -- they can be our best friend or worst enemy. While some think that intranets have evolved with the times, others see enterprise social networks muscling intranets out.

A Few Things to Keep in Mind

• Introduce yourself with your first #socbizchat tweet. Include your name, job title and organization you work for.
• Subsequent tweets must start with the question number you are responding to and the #socbizchat hashtag. For example, "@bigbird Q5 Intranets should serve one main purpose: information access #socbizchat"
• Please don't pitch products or services -- stay knowledge focused.
• Keep the discussion professional, but informal.
• Remember that this is a public chat -- be thoughtful.

We hope to see you there!
