			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here's my little user story:</p>
<p>As a blogger,<br />
I want to use <a href="http://3.ly/" target="_blank">Threely</a> as my url shortener.<br />
So that I get more letters on Twitter.</p>
<p>Pretty simple story, and also very simple to implement, but impossible to test?  I can certainly test the API to twitter, but given I use a wordpress plugin (developed by someone else) to do the auto-posting is it worth the effort for the addition of 6 lines of code?</p>
<p>For me, the pragmatic solution is to take the risk based approach.  I'm going live with Threely (<a href="http://3.ly/" target="_blank">http://3.ly</a>) (again, fixed a small typo), but have an escape plan (extremely important when there are known risks) which is the ability to revert if anything untowards happens and revisit my approach.</p>
<p>So, here goes, pressing the big red button <img src='http://www.agileinsider.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
