Here at Ublip we are strong believers that strengthening the M2M professional community, developers and otherwise is a very good thing for the industry as a whole. The more efficient people can be at building applications the better. A thriving professional community is a great help, whether you are seeking answers to technical questions, trying to hire good talent, or looking for products to purchase.

In the 21st century, social networks and other online tools are an increasingly important part of professional communities. I have found a number of such things online, some of the started by Ublip, some not. This is all very new, so some of them may never get going, but here is a list, by no means to be considered exhaustive.

M2M Forums - A great forum site for technical and non-technical discussion
M2M Technologist Facebook Group - Requires Facebook account
M2M Communications Group - LinkedIn Group for M2M related discussions
Tracking Group - LinkedIn Group for GPS tracking
GPS Business News Linked In group - LinkedIn Group for GPS Industry
