During the dawn of the Second Age of Digital-Earth, in the land of Twitter there was formed a group of like-minded tweeps who were well known for their wisdom about Data Quality, Data Governance, Master Data Management, and Business Intelligence.
They battled against the dark forces of poor data quality, undisciplined organizations, multiple conflicting versions of the truth, flawed business decisions, vast boiling oceans of unmanaged data assets, uncontrolled costs, and unmitigated compliance risks.
Collectively, these valiant heroes were known as: The Fellowship of FollowFriday.
Okay, so clearly I am a total dork—geek, nerd, and dweeb are also completely acceptable alternatives.
