Techie girl does PR: Doing my part to help

Hey guys!

So far, I've been playing the "supportive girlfriend" and "design consultant" roles to try to help Robert build the best product we can, but as YakGroups gets closer and closer to launching, I want to take a more active role in making it a success. There's so much to do!

Robert's doing a great job of finishing the coding and design, so I'm going to do my best to handle other aspects of launching YakGroups that are being neglected. Namely, the marketing and customer-facing parts of the business. Yikes!

Facebook, Twitter, Blogging, oh my! First, let me say that I have no idea what I'm doing here -- I'm a shy techie girl, not a marketer! -- but I'm going to try my best. I'm sure I'll make lots of mistakes, but from following Hacker News and others I know the startup community is super helpful (and super knowledgeable). So I'll probably have lots of posts in the future asking for advice on where I'm going wrong!

I'm going to try to update the blog and our twitter as much as I can to let you guys know what we're up to and then, hopefully, you can let me know where we can improve. I would love to hear from you guys!
