Paul - I am catching up a bit on my Google Reader stuff tonight, and I came across this post. Of course, I knew about this move of yours a few weeks before you posted this. :) I hope to have some opportunities to collaborate with you, or perhaps to hire you for an event or multiple events in the future. Kudos to you for this big move, and I think it will pay off for you in a big way.

Paul - Nice analogy. It's great to "close the circle" by connecting on multiple platforms with those that are important to us. As you mentioned, it also gives you a more three-dimensional look into each friend/follower.
