Re: How did you first hear about thwack?
jspanitz Apr 13, 2012 2:28 PM (in response to Kellie Mecham)Hmm, since my first experience with Orion was an already installed but terribly set up instance of 9, I first saw the links to thwack in the console. It was an invaluable resource once I started exploring. I hope that answers the question.

bobross Apr 13, 2012 3:34 PM (in response to Kellie Mecham)I first leaned about thwack when I was in the "training" phase of my current job. I was told to watch Geek Speak videos and browse thwack while my accounts and stuff were set up. This was in a shop that was already making heavy use of Solarwinds.

nrms Apr 13, 2012 11:44 PM (in response to Kellie Mecham)Joined in October 2010. I've slept many times since then; but I seem to recall we had an ancient version of Engineer's Toolset (v4 springs to mind!) and I was asked to look into updating it. Obvious place to do research was the SolarWinds website. Ended up suggesting (and the company agreeing) we switch to the Orion products. Probably somewhere in the midst of all that I spotted the thwack link on the website and ended up joining given I was going to be supporting the SolarWinds tools.

kennethbaucum May 21, 2012 2:52 PM (in response to Kellie Mecham)1 of 1 people found this helpfulI am new to SolarWinds... In fact, I'm so new I haven't even seen it yet, but we have it here, running, and my manager (Mike Henry, VP Operations) told me I should join Thwak so I can be cool like the other SolarWinds users...

You are PERFECT for something we call first-use studies, where we literally follow along as people use a product for the first time. Can you email me offline so we can talk more about what product(s) you're evaluating/purchasing/will be using? You can contact me at kellie.mecham@solarwinds.com directly for us to continue the discussion.
Welcome to the SolarWinds family, Kenneth!
