1. Name the top 3 functions of the modern intranet.
2. In what areas do intranets fall short of employee's needs?
3. What steps need to be taken to keep intranets relevant?

  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.
