April Portland SharePoint User Group.
The April Portland SharePoint User Group meeting will be held on Wednesday April 18th, 2012. This month Julia Bertschinger from CSG Pro will speak about out-of-the-box and basic SharePoint Designer workflows. For those of you interested in advanced workflow topics including Visual Studio solutions and custom workflow actions we plan to cover those topics in May.
Please note the parking location and remote attendee option is on the LinkedIn Group Site or the Portland SharePoint User Group Portal.
Lunch will be provided by AvePoint, catered provided by Dinner Spectacular and as in previous months we need to get a headcount of how many folks will attend and want lunches. We’ve set up a survey that allows you to change your response so if you initially plan on attending but something comes up you can re-open the survey and let us know. If you plan to attend please be sure to complete the survey by Monday, March 19th at noon since we have to place the lunch order that afternoon. You can find the survey at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/6KQ5VJT . Please be sure to take a minute to fill out the survey so we can have an accurate lunch count and let the parking lot know how many vehicles to expect

A new tool to unify your Social Media “About.Me”
I have a ton of Social Media tools I have been connecting, creating accounts, reserving user names, and generally planning ahead.
So you ask “Scott what is a way to keep track?”
Well one option that has been getting some steam is the About.Me personal landing page. I have been working to find the right image to tell the story, and your profile story should hit it right on the head.

Here is my text.
SharePoint Technologist Roaming the Portlandia
My personal mission statement: Integrity
My Specialties: SharePoint 2010, Microsoft SharePoint Training, SharePoint Records Management, SharePoint E-Discovery, Records Management Training, SharePoint Solution Architecture, Customs and Trade, International Law, Digital Forensics, Litigation, Technical Writing, Systems Architecture, Microsoft Training, On-Line Instruction, Technical Instruction, Large Scale Instruction, SharePoint e-Learning Platform Design.
Pros:
You can personalize your URL, you give your page your own title, 
a large body of rich text (no real limit on size, just keep in mind the page fold). And a way to connect nearly any Social Media tool, or just web url.
You get the option of including Tags on the page, visible and searchable. I like the idea, just have not found the right ones.
My usage: Now I use mine as a way to show my active social service accounts. Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Klout, and other services.
The nice part is this becomes a version of a business card. I know what you are saying Business Card….naaah Sure. One of the Offers is a great business card with the site info, and a Digimark.
Sure I give them a single link to look at, add to my signature line of an email, and Ta Da, they now have links into my Social Hub.
Downside – Cons:
Ok so I have talked up the tool, now the downside. The page format is a little restrictive. Generally not so good on a mobile device or a Tablet unless you like looking at the page in Landscape mode. You can only get so much above the fold.
Second, this is only a linking tool, it does not give you a way to populate content to those dozen social sites you just connected. That is a drag…..so I will have to pick up a different tool for that. Alternion, but I will talk about that in another post.
Lastly, background image. If you have not already seen, that is a pretty big image, and it needs to be high res, and massive. Recommend a Desktop Wallpaper size image, but that also translates to slower load times. Sorry to look good takes bandwidth.
This image of Portland I am currently using in this post is 1024 x 768 and about 874kb in size. I plan on getting a better more personal image soon, but that takes time.
Conclusion:
Fan, and plan to find new ways to use it.
Simply Unify your social media.
