I want to let you know I'm thinking about changing the venue from a early evening to a late morning.  Also changing the place where we meet to a more conference room/meeting room. 

I have this tag line in my head: Just get it done.  In my opinion the past meetings have given no value to those issue of it's members to get their job done.  I want members to walk out of the meeting with answers. 

If you're not a member already of the linked in group please join, . This group is for members of the Silicon Valley User Group chapter.  I'll be monitor that area more to try and answer your questions more there along with more communications then just the blog here.

Yesterday I had a support rep (an SFDC user) contact me complaining that he can't distinguish items in a  drop-down (think when you add a Contact to a Case)... When I took a closer look I noticed that his UI was "wrong"... there was no magnifying glass icon there...

Then he says he is using an Ad/Image Blocker b/c this allows him to view more case data on the screen!

The problem wasn't as much using the blocker but blindly blocking ALL images from SFDC.

The take away: just be aware of these blockers and how they can potentially mess up your users SFDC Experience. User should fine tune them.

Just wanted to post for those that may read this, I have no clue if any do, but our next meeting is on Aug 15th which we'll be having a marketing focus.  We've secured, Eloqua, Exact Target, Market2Lead and we're hoping to get Vertical Response to come.  We'll be having it at Parcel 104 in Santa Clara.  I really think this well be a great meeting, a first in bring in a panel of partners. If you're not a member please go to: http://dreamforce.blogs.com/join/ and sign up.

This will also be my last meeting I host. I'm stepping down as my role as a user group leader after Dreamforce. I still plan on being envolved however I need to shift some of my time.
