Are you ready to take your BYOD expertise to the next level? It’s time to go beyond the online tech magazines and join the BYOD discussions on social networks. On the social networks, you will discover a more fluid BYOD conversation. This is the best place to learn about BYOD’s challenges, written in simple English.

After researching BYOD on social networks, I found that LinkedIn is by far the best place to go. There are dozens of BYOD discussion groups on LinkedIn and the maturity level is much higher than on other social networks. Here are the biggest and best BYOD discussion groups on LinkedIn:

K-12 BYOD – 6,767 members. Founder and Manager: Tom Murphy, Chief Marketing Officer at Bradford Networks.

BYOD: Bring Your Own Device – 6063 members. Founder and Manager: Raymon Busser, Corporate Account Manager at Acer.

Enterprise Mobility, BYOD, and Analytics – 1,295 members. Founder and Manager: Rob Howes, Financial Services Sales Professional.

BYOD Consortium – 1,172 members. Founder and Manager: Jeff Machtig, Inventor Entrepreneur Co-Founder of DVE Telepresence.

BYOD Community – 773 members. Founder and Manager: Ben Ayed, CTO at Secure Access Technologies.

Going past LinkedIn, Twitter has two BYOD hashtags worth watching – #byod (130,000 followers) and #bringyourowndevice (3,273 followers). Search for them on Twitter. Don’t forget to visit Nubo on Twitter!

PInterest has one great link full of infographics here, with a large focus on BYOD in education and the classroom. Speaking of infographics, Google Images has the best collection on the internet.

Finally, YouTube has hundreds of BYOD videos. There is so much terrific BYOD information out there – what are you waiting for?!
