How to Contact Me

Email is the absolute best way to get in touch. I’m generally pretty good about it. (I wrote a blog post once about my email practices.)

Sending me a message on LinkedIn works well too.

A LinkedIn message is pretty visible:

Deane Barker on LinkedIn

You can DM on Twitter, but I’m not there much anymore. @deane_barker
Note: I left Twitter in November 2024

I started my own Mastodon server (with a domain name I regret, honestly):

contenttechtodon.org/@deane

My mobile number is 605-376-1415 but understand that I do not answer calls unless I know who is calling (even if I was lost in the wilderness). However, you can text anything you like to that number.

Social Media Accounts

I am relatively active on social media, but I’m a stickler for connections: we need to have some relationship. We need to know each other, basically.

  • Facebook: Note that I generally don’t connect with professional contacts on FB. Sometimes colleagues become friends, of course, but if we know each other purely professionally, then LinkedIn is better.
  • LinkedIn: I was user #1,500, so I have a fantastic URL. Also, I re-post a lot of my updates on this site.
  • Reddit
  • Stack Overflow
  • Twitter (I’m not here a lot anymore, honestly)
