SharePoint Links I Like: Star Date 6262013 Wednesday

Everyone's busy with SharePoint this week. (Unless you're on vacation or holiday, and then you shouldn't be reading this.) Now back to SharePoint....Here are some interesting links I found today while roaming the Internet.

Yammer Co-Founder Discusses Life with MS SharePoint
Just because Microsoft's Yammer strategy still slightly puzzles me doesn't mean I don't like Yammer.

Test lab guides for SharePoint Server 2013
I watch SharePoint videos for tasks I'll never be called upon to do. Probably because I wasn't allowed to watch much TV as a kid (Gilligan's Island, Brady Bunch, and Star Trek were it).
