My users like to have threaded discussions about documents in a document library. For example, as a policy is developed. they have a forum based discussion - without the discussion happening in the document.

In SharePoint 2010, this can be achieved with a third party add-in, http://www.hhogdev.com/Products/Document-Discussion-2010/Overview.aspx.

Does anybody know if this can be achieved in SharePoint 2013, or using any social add-ons? Many thanks!

This functionality is available OOTB (Out-of-the-box) in SharePoint 2010, you do NOT need a third party add-in:

It appears there is even MORE social network software built into SharePoint 2013:

Hi Doug, Thanks but not quite what we're after. This is the discussious boards, but what there doesn't seem to be is a mechasim to tie a discussion to a document. Sorry if I was unclear. – ben Jan 22 at 21:24
Oh, I see, you want to tie it to a specific document. Got it. Well, you can always create a Document Workspace for each document, this is basically a sub-site for each document with discussion groups, etc. c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/54db21/… – CigarDoug Jan 23 at 12:09
