There’s a lot of chit chat going on about storage these days – some on the mud-slinging level, some civilized, most somewhere in between. One positive trend is that the blogosphere is becoming less about personalities and more about collaboration and discussion — thanks to Twitter and other networking tools. Storage bloggers, being the smart and tech savvy folk they are, have started creating their own online communities.
Here are some of the newest and most innovative sites that are aggregating content about storage:
Storage Monkeys – This site is serving as a social network and discussion forum for those involved in the storage industry. There are also pages for job listings and blogs.
Gestalt IT – This is a group magazine that aggregates blog entries on storage and IT, and features some of the most informed and interesting bloggers in the storage realm, such as Stephen Foskett (Packrat), Martin Glassborow (Storagebod) and Chris Evans (Storage Architect), to name a few.
BlueArc Shared Items – A quick way to get a tour around the storage blogosphere and find out what topics are getting the most online ink.
If I have missed any here, please feel free to comment.
Cloud Storage Strategies – This blog serves as a practical discussion forum for providing experienced industry insight, observations and next practices in Cloud Storage for IT Hosting, SaaS, MSPs and converged Telco providers looking to offer significant cloud computing and storage services.
Sunshine,
There isn’t much conversation here yet, but check out FriendFeed.
Steven Foskett has 2 “rooms” that would be of interest to the storage folks:
Enterprise Storage http://friendfeed.com/rooms/enterprise-storage
Server Virtualization http://friendfeed.com/rooms/server-virtualization
FriendFeed is an aggregator for everything on the web. You’ll find storage companies (Gestalt IT, BlueArc, EMC) and storage folks (like me http://friendfeed.com/miniman) there too.
FriendFeed has the capability for some nice discussions on posts, Tweets, etc.
Cheers,
Stu
Thanks both of you for the input. More suggestions welcome!
