VSTS Team – Winning Hearts and Minds

Published 23 October 08 01:27 PM | Joel Semeniuk

A few years ago, I remember speaking to the VSTS team about community.  It was a formal presentation arranged by one of the old team members – where I was to talk about the importance of community support and how to win the hearts and minds of developers – and ultimately customers.  I’m actually not claiming that I had anything to do with this – but embracing community is exactly what the VSTS team have been doing.

Over the years blogging has become an important tool for communication and education.  In fact, I used to blog a LOT regarding VSTS but decided to stop after I saw that my blog was, in fact, second hand, to the blogs maintained by the VSTS team. 

I was expecting this a bit sooner – better late than never – however, you can now follow the VSTS team on Twitter (my new social addiction it seems).  Personally, I’m at the point where I need a better Twitter aggregator.  Any suggestions?

Joel,

You might try Minggl as a Twitter aggregator. It also pulls LinkedIn, Facebook, and a few other networks, and adds some tagging and filtering niceties as well. Minggl is a browser add-in for IE and Mozilla.

(disclosure: I work for Minggl)
