TwitterYes, Twitter…it’s not all pictures of cats and food! (just SOME of it is that…)
Very active tech communities
How to start:◦ Set your avatar to something other than the egg!
◦ Find interesting people and conversations by searching common hashtags like #VMware, #vSphere, #PowerShell, #vBrownBag, etc.
◦ Follow people using those hashtags
◦ Build your network, engage in conversations – Twitter is fundamentally public, so jump in!
