Benefits of Participation
• Instant feedback. You have a place to ask questions, brainstorm ideas, seek advice, etc.
• Talk about what you're doing to peers all at once. No need to wait for a conference to share your best practices (and to get recognized by peers for such!).
• Learn from others. Again, no need to wait for a conference to hear what others are doing, what's working and what isn't, etc.
• Find and read profiles of your peers and contact them.
• Have an ongoing, organized, written record of previous discussions you can refer to anytime.
