Hi Gang, I meant to announce the @joomlanyc Twitter account at the meeting on Thursday, but got caught up with the Joomla 1.7 discussion so I will deliver the story now:
I joined Twitter late, but now I can't imagine how I lived without it. Twitter is the ultimate communication tool. Think email news on steriods! Originally, I created my personal Twitter account in 2009, but didn't really understand the power of Twitter until this past May when I got into a conversation with a social media marketer at my local Starbucks. After a five-minute overview, I am now a Twitter addict and follow 260+ accounts, ranging from @FinancialTimes, @NewYorker and @SherylCrow to @KyleLedbetter and @JoomlaWorks. The first thing I do in the morning is check my Twitter account. Then throughout the day, I monitor Twitter on various computers and my Android phone. I have found Twitter to be a great way to follow the Joomla community and learn about the latest in updates, components, modules and templates. This is my list - in no particular order - of "must follow" Joomla Twitter accounts. Feel free to add to chime in and share your favorites. @joomla @JoomlaNYC (Joomla New York City users group - natch!) @BrianTeeman (one of the founders of Joomla) @JoomlaWorks (K2 and other products) @sigsu_net (makers of Sobi2 and SobiPro directories) @sobipro (directory extension) @jen4web (trainer and author Jen Kramer) @elinwaring (our local Joomla guru) @jlleblanc (programmer Joe LeBlanc) @k2joom (K2 theme developer) @akeebabackup (popular backup program) @betweenbrain (developer Matt Thomas) @kyleledbetter (designer and developer behind AdminPraise and ProjectFork) @yootheme (theme developer) @joomlabamboo (theme developer) @joomlapraise (theme developer) @joomlatips (tips and tricks) @rockettheme (theme developer) @corywebb (trainer, author, developer) @stackideas (extensions) @virtuemart (e-commerce extension) @alledia (trainer, author Steve Burge of JoomlaTraining.com) @joomlablogger (news and blog) @joomlashack (extensions, themes, training and author Barry North) @andreweddie (master Joomla developer) @kunena (forum component) @jomsocial (social media component) @joomlapolis (Community Builder extension) @dioscouri (makers of Tienda and other fine products) @osmatters (overseer of Joomla trademark and open source license) @cozimek (Ryan Ozimek, president of Open Source Matters) @rsjoomla (makers of RSForms, RSBlog, etc. extensions) So do me a favor and join @joomlanyc . You will get plenty of news and meeting reminders, although we will continue to use the Joomla NYC mailing list too. Have a great weekend! And I look forward to seeing everyone at Joomla Day NYC Weekend next week. - - - Steve -- Stephen Britton Technology Consultant sbrit...@gmail.com Twitter: @StephenBritton ph: 914-661-0040 "The most important thing that I learned from Steve is to always follow your heart. He believed that the only way to do truly great work is to adore what you are doing." - Andy Hertzfeld, member of original Macintosh team.
