		<title>Just Your Standard Wiki Type Then, Eh</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Ever wondered what it&#8217;s like being a man without a country, fighting for pure information? Well, apparently it involves having no social skills whatsoever. Here&#8217;s a very funny re-enactment video based on a discussion with two people who claim to have had Julian Assange as a houseguest.

I don&#8217;t know about you, but I&#8217;m not sure [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why Most Facebook Marketing Doesn&#8217;t Work</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For almost four years, since the Facebook Platform was launched, I have been involved in delivering Facebook apps for top brands such as CBS, NBC, Lifetime, Universal Music, Visa and more. Here&#8217;s what we have learned doesn&#8217;t work, and more importantly, what does work.
First, deep campaigns don&#8217;t work. Digital agencies love deep, expensive campaigns on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Google Reader Notes &#8211; A new form of micro-blogging.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The micro-blogging space has had trouble picking a winner. Tumblr has shown great promise in its wide user base and social features, while Posterous has had a bit of a technical lead with more formatting options and a high level of geek cred (TweetDeck uses Posterous as their primary blog).
One service that may have been [...]]]></description>

		<title>Goodbye, LaLa.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[LaLa.com is closing it&#8217;s doors. But not in the sense you might think. They were purchased by Apple in December of 2009 for an &#8220;officially undisclosed&#8221; amount (17M is the latest figure I could find). Thanks, TechCrunch!
There&#8217;s a great post byEd Bott going over some of the initial steps Lala was taking in mid-April to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Foursquare Day Post</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Foursquare is an app that lets people find out who and what are around their current location. http://foursquare.com (it&#8217;s best on iPhone if you have one).
The app has an avid following due to the compelling game mechanics involved. Checking in at certain locations unlock &#8220;badges&#8221; that users rack up and can show off to their [...]]]></description>

		<title>YouTube unveils new UX(User Experience) redesign</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Very subtle, YouTube. I almost didn&#8217;t even notice. While I was clicking around, watching videos today on my YouTubes, I was oblivious to the fact that the site had undergone a total UI makeover. To start things off, the design is clean(er). In comparison to earlier designs, the new design feels sparse (in a good [...]]]></description>

		<title>Twitter.com might begin using Bit.ly to shorten URLs &#8211; Twitter journalism</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Strange coincidences are not irony. So don&#8217;t say that this is ironic. It&#8217;s just a strange coincidence: @ev (Twitter Co-Founder and CEO Evan Willams) posts a tweet that he is proud of his vast team of genius candidates:
&#8220;@ev Super happy about the collection of people we&#8217;ve managed to assemble at Twitter.&#8221;

		<description><![CDATA[
A new tool to save time
LucyPhone knows your pain. Waiting on hold sucks. You are spending precious time listening to some of the world&#8217;s worst. Music. Ever. Seconds seem like minutes, and minutes seem like an eternity. You can never get that time back. Ever. You don&#8217;t have to wait any more though.
Some real smooth [...]]]></description>

		<title>A users-eye view of location and activity in the stream</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Location is Big
But it&#8217;s only a small part of the larger social landscape. Take a step back and think about what sites like Foursquare and Facebook are asking everyone: Who are you? Where are you? What are you doing? Who are your friends? What do you like? What do you DISLIKE?  (I’m looking at you, Facebook.) [...]]]></description>

		<title>Social Inspiration: Prime time for location, actions and beyond&#8230;</title>

Author&#8217;s Note: I began this post at midnight after waking with what seemed like hundreds of ideas swimming in my head. This is what spilled out. It is raw. It is not &#8220;bloggy&#8221; It may still have errors even after I&#8217;ve revised it a few times. I&#8217;m not going to edit it any more though. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Quality Control @ Dell WPD</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Our office participates in the Dell Warranty Parts Direct service program. Basically it allows us to be &#8220;self-maintainers&#8221; and order our own warranty parts as needed rather than having to wait on hold with support to go through the same troubleshooting steps we&#8217;ve already completed. It&#8217;s usually an efficient way to get bad parts replaced [...]]]></description>

		<title>Monumental FCC Ruling on Comcast P2P Practices</title>

On August 1st, the FCC released a press statement skewering Comcast&#8217;s practice of throttling or dropping altogether traffic bound for or coming from their customers that is classified as &#8220;Peer to [...]]]></description>
