1. Which of the Exchange Community tools do you currently use? (Blogs, User groups, Exchange websites et al.)
Blogs - Got quite a few hooked into my RSS client (just about all the Exchange DEV's as well as this blog).
User groups - Long time member of SYNK (got no idea what its called now...but I am still a member and readpost from time to time). On almost a daily basis I read through all the Exchange newsgroups (news.microsoft.com) and help where I can.
Exchnage websites - There are a few, msexchange.org is called by my RSS client on a regular basis.
2. Are you currently a member of an active Exchange User group?
Only ones that I have build through networking and through helping Microsoft at customer sites. Every now and then I go with TAM's and System Engineers to help a Microsoft customer understand what Exchange can do for them...Maybe I should look to work for MCS one day :-).
3. What purpose(s) do you use the Exchange Communities for?
While I am quite familiar with Exchange (5.0-2003) I am always looking to learn something new. I also really enjoy helping people to get the best out of Exchange.
4. What would you like to see improved about Exchange Communities?
-I think the newsgroup's web interface could use some work. I really don't know if its the network that I am on in the office, but out of a 5 day work week I can only get into the newsgroups via web interface maybe 1 day a week..if that.
-I think an active shared blog such as this is a good model for other Microsoft product teams.
5. Are you attending Tech Ed 2005?
Can I get fish tacos, some beer, and another TechEd backpack? If so..then yes.
