Facebook DevOps Groups

In this article, I’m going to tell you where you can find some #DevOps folks and give you some great lists to start your project. Depending on your project, you can find new influencers, discover new talent, develop new product strategies, or integrate into your marketing funnel. 

Through-out the process you should be thinking about ‘how does this integrate into my business and what does this data connect to?’

Even though I am presenting thousands of rows of data here that represent millions of individuals, each and every person, group, organization, keyword, topic, hashtag, location, skill,  website, and social profile is connected to dozens of other data points that are relevant, sometimes obvious, and sometimes priceless.
