Creating Tech Exams Facebook Group?

computer g33k

I think creating a facebook group would be great way for users to interact with each other. What do you guys think?

Iristheangel

There is a FB page for it (https://www.facebook.com/TechExams.net?ref=ts) but only 15 people have liked it.

SephStorm

yes, we have a linkedin that isnt utilized as well. i think the forum is the best place, that or a meetup.

And Iris, im still trying to figure out if you are the person in your avatar or not.

I like the meetup idea, anyone in phillly area interested in creating a meetup?

jmritenour

I got another idea - how about if there was a "website" or something like that on that "Internet" thing I keep hearing so much about? I think you can put message boards on them, and maybe someone could do that, and we could all like... post messages on it? We could all interact with each other that way.

Iristheangel

I wouldn't mind a meetup. I have met a couple people off this forum in real life and I know there are a ton of people in the Orange County/Los Angeles area.

@SephStorm, I can assure you I am. Either that or I'm stalking some random Cisco-loving blond.

Just added TE to my facebook =D. The meetup thing would be pretty nice. Networking with people in your city is always a good idea.!

Nah, that will never catch on.

Facebook really isn't for tech-nerds like LinkedIn, Twitter, and Google+ are. LinkedIn was an experiment that showed TE's members would rather communicate with each other on TE. I think now the LinkedIn group just helps introduce TE's members to the career-augmenting possibilities of LinkedIn.

The TE groups on the social media sites are really just placeholders to stake a legitimate claim to a chunk of cyber-social space with TE's name on it. There's always a possibility they could be used for some social-marketing effort later.



And I'm all for a SoCal TE meetup. We can infiltrate a sushi buffet somewhere.

I love sushi. Hate wasabi though.

Can't eat seafood...I'm allergic! But I take my wife since she loves the stuff!!!

Wait, there's a TE linkedIn? Hmm. I must explore this deeper.

Seen Turgon's avatar? I thought for the longest He was her. But then again, The lady at the front of the ROUTE books... she's pretty gorgeous. Smart = Sexy.

Follow the URL in my sig to get to my LinkedIn page, click on Groups in the menu bar, select Group Directory and search for TechExams.Net. Join the group and I'll approve you and send you an invite to link with myself. You need to have a LinkedIn account to make this all work, of course.

I'd do a SoCal meetup...... once I am back out there, boy do I HATE DC!!!

I am from Philly

Iristheangel

@JDMurray, I think Chrisone, onesaint, and whatthehell would be down for a socal meetup if they knew about it. If Saturday or Sunday would be good, I could swing it

Good deal, you know anyone else in the forums that's from the area? I live in south jersey, I'm about 45 minutes away from philly.

FloOz

Honestly you are the only one that I have run into fom the Philadelphia area on these forums. I assume there are more, but people like to keep that kind of information private.

I work across the street from 30th Street Station

Surprised none of the Minnesotans have chimed in yet...maybe they got heat stroke yesterday?

Yep, Saturday and Sunday are the only days I could swing a meet-up. Do you know of any TE members that attend the ISSA Orange County meetings down at The Spectrum? I've run into two TE members there in the past.

MrAgent

Maybe some location forums could be created for meet ups etc?

I don't think there is enough interest for a dedicated section. Every once in a while one of these threads come up about meeting up but there doesn't seem to be too much serious interest.

Iristheangel

@jdmurray I've never been there but I should try going one of these days. We could always post a new thread for a socal specificmspecific meetup and get everyone to go that can

How about just making a sticky?

Roguetadhg

If I had lived closer, you'd count me in

I just destroyed my samsung monitor

I know we tried to do a MN one when Dynamik lived here, but that was a while back. I'd be up for trying again if we could get enough people involved.

demonfurbie

i live alone in my alabama island apparently

hiddenknight821

The only person I can think of meeting here is erpadmin. Must have forgotten a few others TE members in my area.
