Learn for free!... Knowledge based Community sites...

The amount of free knowledge that can be obtained by utilizing the podcasts that enthusiasts create is mind boggling. Not to mention the amount of material that can be found in text based form, like blogs, forums, and collaborative communities. A few good examples of Social Media sites that i have personally utilized are:

http://drupal.org

http://lullabot.com
http://theartlab.net
http://drupaldojo.com

These are the sites that I have been using over the past year and half to teach myself about website development. I have watched many videos, listened to podcasts, read a lot of blogs, and communicated with others in chat rooms and forums in order to learn different development techniques and tricks.

In order to become a "True" Citizen Marketer, one must become familiar with the software that is used to manage your content. This is why i have decided to learn about Drupal, it is one of the most powerful open source Content Management Systems making it the perfect platform for basically any type of website.

So if you to are interested in learning about the software that makes Social Media on the Internet possible then check out drupal.
