Percussion Community on Linked In

As we begin to adopt our own technologies for Percussion.com, one of the main areas in focus is the goal to have the site act as more of a community for our customers and partners.  At every user group I attend, I hear customers who had no idea that someone in their region or industry was also a Rhythmyx user.  We started with the obligatory user forum, which is increasingly being adopted.  But there are many more "social networking" tools available today besides the forum (or indeed a blog like this).  

However, as a member of a few of these networks, I find myself suffering from "multiple personalities" online.  Is my LinkedIn profile up to date with my Facebook entry or my new profile in the Content Wrangler community?  It used to just be passwords that I needed to remember, now I have to update my picture and skills on half a dozen sites whenever something notable happens.

So rather than provide all of you with yet another profile to create and maintain, Percussion has decided to leverage better the networks that are already there.  We've started simply enough with a Percussion Group on Linked In.  Linked In seemed to be the most natural, because we find the type of networking our customers seek to be primarily work related.  Project managers are looked for trained Percussion experts in the area, our partners are looking for customers who need work, and so on.

If you're not already on Linked In, it's easy enough to join.  Once there, check out the Percussion Linked In Group and start finding and networking with others with similar skills, needs, or interests - at least related to WCM.
