		<description><![CDATA[We are only a week into the new year and already it has its Internet trend: curation. I’m particularly struck by this trend for both positive and negative reasons. I’ll get the negative one out of the way first. It’s a personal thing, the negative reason, because there is a certain irony in it. I [...]]]></description>

Put another way, their days begin with stories. When they go to bed, many of them read first, or watch some television beforehand, or talk to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Noise is a common complaint about social media. We often say there is too much worthless chatter. When we say this, we’re complaining about content. It’s of no value to us; it’s all noise. For people like myself who work in social media, we’re usually referring to the tsunami of tweets and posts and updates [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Expressions are so confusing. Currently, when stories break in places like Haiti, Chile, Afghanistan and others, reporters that go to cover the stories tell us what is happening. When they get to the locations and begin filing their reports, I always hear, “Our reporter is on the ground …” Do they have options? Could they, [...]]]></description>
