Tonight I had the pleasure of presenting for a new user group, Quad Cities PASS. If you’re in the Quad Cities area the second Wednesday of the month, make sure you check it out!
I was asked to present “Make Your Voice Heard”, which is one of my favorite presentations. In it, I talk about how and why to use Twitter, forums, blogging, and presenting. Each of these is more than just a social networking website, or a way to become a “celebrity”. It’s a way for you to learn more about SQL Server, share your knowledge of SQL Server, and network with like-minded people.
The slides from my talk are [here][2]. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask!
