Hi everyone, Sorry to revive this two years old thread. Someone recently sent me an invite for one of the "unofficial" LinkedIn group. Just wondering if there has been any effort to maintain (semi-) official presence on LinkedIn. Scott? Matt?
While on the subject, there does not seems an official group on Facebook either. Social networks seem to be growing like mushroom these days, and I understand LPI cannot possibly maintain a presence on all of them. But I think doing so on the most popular one (Facebook, likedIn and Twitter/Identi.ca at the very least) would be a cheap and easy way to promote the program, and probably well worth the minimal investment in time required to get started.
