A look at the Software Testing Club

I originally started the Software Testing Club as an experiment, keen to make it grow and become a useful place to visit, though was never sure it would take off.

Some good things are happening and am humbled at the fact we have reached and passed 200 members.  There are people from all over the world which is a great thing.

In bullet point style here are some things that are happening:

• There's a Group area where you can set up groups according to your location.  The idea is to get people to actually meet face to face.  Global is good, localising things has some great benefits.
• If you are looking for Software Testing Videos the club is the place to go.  Anyone can add videos to the site (by uploading or embedding the video code).
• There is a Software Testing Job board where anyone can post jobs for free at the moment.
• There is now a LinkedIn group, only members of the club will be accepted/approved.
• The Forum is getting more active with some quality conversations going on.

Personally, I'm quite please with the way the Club is heading.  The service from Ning is fab.  Ning react quickly to support requests - the quickest resolution being within 5 minutes of sending an email.  So big thumbs up from DrivenQA to Ning. 

It's also quite 'cool' that some of the Ning testers are hanging out in the Club :)  They are also hiring if it is of interest to anyone.

So what do you think of it all?
