To prepare the ground for this topic, I will start with a reference to a post by Professor Michael Rosemann of the BPM Research Group of Queensland University of Technology on BPM and Twitter, which was published on the ARIS Community site.  He lists three possible scenarios, where BPM and Enterprise 2.0 can work together:

What is Web 2.0?

Web 2.0 has become an essential part of our life. Think about all the applications that you use online; YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Flicker,..,etc .
