Wow, I thought I posted here days ago! I guess I must've closed the tab before sending it. Weird.
I started my Facebook under Trip's "real" name too, for the same reasons. Mine was made for the sole purpose of getting the facepalm emote a couple years back. I've done next to nothing with it, mostly I just use it to get updates on a bunch of stuff all in one place. It's pretty convenient for that.
As for the Twitter thing, I think that'd be pretty fun. You could tell some cool stories that way. Especially if you were to include a few Icon-made pics here and there... you could be like Peter Parker and take action shots of your "missions". That's something I might actually sign up for Twitter to follow. Come to think of it... can you post to Twitter from a computer? Cause I don't have a smart phone. I have a dumb phone. It flips.
tl;dr - Neat-o! *
