What exactly is: "Social in the Flow”? Of course, you’ve heard of social business by now. While there are still arguments over what social means and why you should do it; the smarter companies are having a different conversation – how do we effectively adapt and use social for business? How can you improve collaboration internally with a social tool like Yammer? Can you improve customer service with Twitter? How has a simple tool like Skype improved (or not) collaboration with parters or co-workers?
Join us for our #infochat this Thursday, January 17 at 11 a.m. EST to talk about it. Join our panelists, and the rest of the twitterverse, for a discussion about what it means to have “social in the flow”:

2. What business processes can social be integrated into?
3. How have you improved collaboration using a tool like Yammer?
4. How does/will social and ECM intersect?
5. [your question here]
If you haven’t yet, take a look at AIIM’s industry watch, Social in the Flow, and see how social tools are being used now.
What’s a Tweet Jam
Musicians jam together by riffing off of a common theme; playing off of each other to create something unique and learning from each other as they do. With Twitter, we can do the same, 140 characters at a time. A tweet jam is a fast-paced conversation around a topic. It is simply a time and a place to gather on Twitter around a hashtag topic and learn from each other. Anyone can ask, or answer, a question.
What’s the AIIM Infochat (#infochat)?
Simple really: managing information (well) is, to understate it, somewhat complex. We want to get together regularly (look for a schedule soon), kick around ideas/strategy/tips/suggestions/tools/trends, and emerge a little bit more knowledgeable at the other end of the hour. While we know it’s only 140 characters at a time, we want to generate questions and discussions about how to REALLY make the business processes work
How Do I “Watch?”
It’s easy. Log in to Twitter (or your favorite Twitter front end; I like Hootsuite). Then use the hashtag #infochat to follow the discussion. The best way I’ve found to follow one of these is tweetchat.com. Sign in using your twitter handle, type #infochat into the box at the top of the screen, and tweetchat will follow the discussion – best of all, without you having to remember to put in the hashtag every time you write a new tweet.
See you Thursday!
