This week we had a special treat — we joined forces with the social media-focused #SMchat community during our regularly scheduled #solopr chat hour, for a combined sharing of ideas. It was especially lively and informative, and we found the #SMchatters to be like-minded with us in their professional and good-humored approach to communications. The groups identified common mantra – NO MORE SILOS.

#SMChat leader Sharon Mostyn provided a framing blog post in advance and posed the chat questions. In addition to the downloadable transcript in PDF, Storify highlights from this silo-slaying conversation include:

It was hard to highlight certain tweets this week, because they were all so good! So, be sure to check out the transcript in PDF for the full discussion. Note that the transcript is in reverse chronological order.
