That was a question I was asking myself more and more recently. After a bit of deliberation, I answered it with yes. This article summarizes my reasoning. My Twitter History I have been on Twitter for more than 11 years. If I remember correctly, Brian Madden - whose website was extremely popular in the Citrix community at the time - had urged people to join Twitter a little earlier. I responded to Brian’s call and quickly realized that Twitter was a great platform that allows people with a common interest to identify each other and communicate. In my case, that interest was end-user computing, of course, the products and technologies from companies like Citrix or Microsoft. After joining Twitter, at conferences, many of the names were known to me, and sometimes I to them. Getting into contact was so much easier. The major difficulty was recognizing someone from their Twitter profile picture (something we often joked about).

I love to learn, teach and network. Conferences and community meetings are the perfect events for that. As in previous years I try to attend as many events as I can. Here is a list of where I have been this year and where I plan to be. I hope you can make it to at least one of these, they are all more than worth it!
