SAP Resource and Social Media Networking
SAP Information Resources
People often ask where they can find more information about SAP and SAP Business One, current news and hot topics, and more, beyond the corporate website. I've compiled a handful of places I go to keep on top of what is happening with SAP, their products, and channels.
If you have additions, leave a comment and let everyone know. Here's the list...
General SAP Community websites:
SAP.info - SAP Magazine
The official SAP Magazine, and one of the best sources of SAP Corporate information.

SAP SPECTRUM - Interactive Monthly Newsletter
The monthly e-magazine for business and IT. As PDF – with exciting interviews and in-depth case studies. Fast, fun, and filled with facts.
"Very very cool, even for a trade newsletter!"

SAP Community Network - [includes SDN, Forums, Wiki]
This is the one-stop shop for everything SAP Community related. Check out the forums, eLearning, downloads, blogs, etc. You name it, it's here.
Social Media Sites to connect with SAP:
SAP has taken the leap into social media big time, making a key strategic initiative for 2010 an working it into their product lineup. SAP even launched a nice little webpage where you can find many of the social media sites they are operating and easily connect with any of them. You can find the SAP Social Media page here.
On the SAP SDN, there is a page dedicated to social media, with information about all of SAP's social media initiatives, as well as links to some of their social media outlets. You can find the SAP Social Media Trends Page here.
Now that SAP owns a chunk of LinkedIn, their staff has become very active on the social media site for professionals. There is now more than a few dozen groups dedicated to SAP Business One, often with SAP staff actively involved in conversation with other users.
LinkedIn provides a great place for people to connect with SAP and get direct access to their people and community. Just create an account if you don't have one and search for "sap" in the search bar. You'll find all the groups, professionals, Question/Answers, etc that you can handle:
SAP is all over Twitter, with multiple accounts. Below are the most popular. I used Twitter Search to find all accounts with "SAP" in the name and located most of these.

SAP Social Media Summary
In short, SAP has embraced social media and is active in almost every area being explored by business today. They've had a few missteps with how it's been utilized, but I think now it's coming together and is a good way of connecting with the company.
To utilize the social networks of SAP best, we suggest you sign-up with an account at one of the social media sites and then explore the links of each SAP account. For example, become a fan of the SAP4SME page on Facebook, then explore the other Facebook Pages they link to. Usually, SAP pages link to all the other ones on each social media website.
