So you&#8217;ll get support from fellow professionals and the team. We&#8217;re also moving our committees to Yammer.<\/p>\n<p>Over 1,000 people <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SQAComputing\">follow us on Twitter<\/a>, where we post regular updates and news about developments. We also Tweet about opportunities to get involved with our work, such as when we&#8217;re looking for new External Verifiers or people to help us develop qualifications.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, of course, there&#8217;s this blog, which is the main means of communication with our community. The blog (unlike Twitter) gives us space to explain things (although we usually Tweet about important blog posts).<\/p>\n<p>So, please bookmark the blog and follow us on Twitter.
