Low and behold, I&#39;ve succumbed to yet another network &#8211; LinkedIn. The SQL Server Community is *incredibly* strong online: in forums, twitter groups (such as #sql, #sqlserver, #sqlpass, #sqlhelp) and in many of these online commnunities. And, with so many events and so little time to find where everyone is at and when &#8211; these social tools can really help to keep you informed.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nSo, as Paul just blogged a few minutes ago &quot;<em>Just when I thought I&#39;d discovered all the online networks that could successfully prevent me from doing useful work, I re-discovered LinkedIn this morning after Kimberly got sucked in, dragged me in as well. It makes sense I suppose as a more serious way to keep in touch with people we met at conferences and online.<\/em>&quot; And, so it goes, here are my accounts if you want to keep in touch through other methods:\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div>\n\t(Sensitive or humor-deficient folks beware) on Facebook: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/KimberlyLTripp\" class=\"broken_link\">http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/KimberlyLTripp<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div>\n\t(As per Facebook but with lots of SQL stuff thrown in) on Twitter: <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/KimberlyLTripp\" class=\"broken_link\">http:\/\/twitter.com\/KimberlyLTripp<\/a> (I don&#39;t tweet as much as Paul but I tend to tweet all events, blog posts, resources and tips\/tricks)&nbsp;\n\t<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div>\n\t(For the completely serious side of things) on LinkedIn: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/KimberlyLTripp\">http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/KimberlyLTripp<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\nAnd, as usual &#8211; you can find me here for most of my techie blog posts and as many resource posts as I can create!
