One of the reasons I started this group was because I am a strong believer in shared knowledge. I see a neat tidbit, a cool piece of software, I pass the info on; hopefully I make someone's life a little happier/simpler in the process. But a lot of people are really bad about sharing. Some people take the tidbits passed on to them and then don't share back. Sometimes this may be because the person doesn't think that they know about anything share-worthy, but most of the time it's because they're getting information freely and openly, and there's no perceived value to them in giving back.
Recently, one of our group members 'discovered' a tool that they shared with me. At first, I was a bit surprised; I'd been using this tool for years, but they just heard of it?! But, that's why I set up this group, and why I will be getting this external site up to par w/the internal one soon; I have lots of great stuff to share. I know about these tools, and I want you to too. So, I'm going to make sure I share that with you. And, I want all of you to share, even if you don't have a lot. I'm going to beef up the forums area to allow everyone to contribute, so do! And for those who need an incentive, here it is:
Sharers get stuff.
Our group always rewards members with the amazing materials that the vendors provide us with; books, software, swag, hardware, discounts, etc. We need to show them how much we appreciate their generosity and provide a value to them for doing so too! Starting in June, members will get points for your posts; so share your favorite Web sites, write a review, whatever you can do - points will be rewarded with stuff!
