Today I got the following message from Microsoft…
Congratulations! We’re pleased to inform you that your contributions to Microsoft online technical communities have been recognized with the Microsoft Community Contributor Award.
The Microsoft Community Contributor Award is reserved for participants who have made notable contributions in Microsoft online community forums such as TechNet, MSDN and Answers. The value of these resources is greatly enhanced by participants like you, who voluntarily contribute your time and energy to improve the online community experience for others.
Wow, thats cool!
As you might know by now I really like being an active member of the community on community websites and forums and blogging and beta programs of all sorts. Its great to be awarded such a community based award. Thanks to all for this! It is also another push forward to continue being active and helping others, as I have been helped by others in the past as well.
