There are plenty of on-line discussion boards geared toward IT specialists, and undoubtedly, a great deal of websites dispense career advice (such as CIO.com). But I used to be not conscious of a standalone online forum particularly geared toward IT professionals' careers till I discovered out about Ivy Tango.  
Ivy Tango is definitely an online local community in which IT specialists can give and obtain job advice. It released mid-April 2009 and features as a standard discussion forum where registered customers can submit career-related questions and solutions. To register, you may need only give an e-mail address and think of a password. As of June 1, Ivy Tango had 187 members and 157 posts. (I'm now a member, having registered as "Meridith.")
Topics for discussion include résumés,Microsoft Office Home And Business 2010, job offers, compensation, benefits, dealing with recruiters, consulting and contracting,Office Standard 2010, job boards, networking, social networking,Office 2010 Standard, relocation, immigration, and on the job issues (such as dealing with cranky co-workers).
Among the more spirited discussions, members are debating whether to take a job that's being offered or to wait for a better offer; how to ask for a raise in a recession (a topic I've addressed); and whether to report an obnoxious HR person to a hiring manager. 
Ivy Tango was created by Project One,Discount Office 2007, an IT consulting and staffing firm. For now, Ivy Tango is simply a PR vehicle for Project One; the company is not trying to make money off the forum, says Gary Zander, Project One's president. 
"Our intent is not to use this [forum] as a means to generate direct dollars," says Zander. "We're doing this as kind of a public service. We're constantly bombarded with inquiries from candidates who call us. We thought there was an opportunity to give back to candidates, to create an environment in which they can pose questions and give guidance to one another." 
If Ivy Tango takes off and its membership grows, Zander says Project One might use it to get marketing and sales leads, but currently that's not the company's or the forum's focus.
Give Ivy Tango a look. I've identified members' responses to inquiries to be helpful, practical and good-natured. Members seem genuinely interested in sharing their two cents and helping others--always a good sign in a forum. As Zander says, "This is the kind of thing where the larger it grows,Windows 7 Home Premium Key, the better it is for everybody." 
I plan to submit my numerous opinions on Ivy Tango. I hope I'll find yours there, too.
