I&#39;ve got a few posts in the queue and a few more tests to do and code to write before I can wrap them up. In the interim, Paul and I have both decided to throw a bit of our &quot;spare time&quot; to keeping up with friends and family more and just staying &quot;more connected.&quot; In that effort, we&#39;ve both joined facebook and twitter (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KimberlyLTripp\">www.twitter.com\/KimberlyLTripp<\/a>&nbsp;and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PaulRandal\">www.twitter.com\/PaulRandal<\/a>). Our end goal is:\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div>\n\t<strong>Blogging<\/strong>: large\/complex posts with detailed info\/code, etc.\n\t<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div>\n\t<strong>Twitter<\/strong>: short, quick posts on things to check out, review, etc. Maybe I&#39;ll do a weekly summary of tweets that I do and\/or followed? <strong><em>Would you be interested in that?<\/em><\/strong> And, as for my interface, I&#39;m currently using TweetDeck and Twitter.com and I&#39;ve also joined via WeFollow.com: #sqlserver, #mvp and #womenintech.\n\t<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div>\n\t<strong>Facebook<\/strong>: more fun stuff and keeping up with friends, etc. I have to admit that I really love the interface and I&#39;m constantly impressed at how easy it is to upload video, photos, etc&#8230; It&#39;s just NOT what I expected before I tried it out. I&#39;d truly recommend this to anyone that wants to asynchronously keep up with a large number of people and wants to share photos, comments, video, etc. It&#39;s really well done. However, beware of many of the facebook apps. They tend to spam your friends list &#8211; sometimes even when they don&#39;t ask. Outside of better requirements on fb app developers, I don&#39;t have a lot of complaints there.\n\t<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\nHaving said that, neither of us is doing anything else (no Plaxo, no LinkedIn, etc.) so if you want to find us &#8211; we&#39;re definitely around but we&#39;re going to stay <em>somewhat<\/em> focused. ;-)\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAnd, now that I&#39;m back home again, I hope to have a few more of my longer posts done.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Cheers everyone!<br \/>\n<\/strong>kt\n<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/people\/Kimberly-L-Tripp\/600530451\" target=\"_TOP\" title=\"Kimberly L.
