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

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

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."Start by doing what is necessary, then do what is possible; suddenly, you are doing the impossible." - St. Francis of Assisi -

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. -

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.

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.In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure.

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.An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made. -

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. -
