		<description><![CDATA[I found myself wondering if Google might be the first company to actually get social media by focusing on the word social and realizing something was lacking in a big way in the world of social networks and technology generally. This was after having watched Andrew Keen’s interview about Google+ with Vic Gundotra (Google’s VP [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Although I&#8217;m using Google+ I know absolutely nothing about it. And I&#8217;ve yet to find the time to really explore it. The comforting thing is knowing that no one else knows anything about it. Everything is speculation. People using it now are early adopters &#8212; and that is worrisome. Early adopters tend to be more [...]]]></description>

While I don&#8217;t wish to appear dogmatic and inflexible, and if I may be blunt, you are of absolutely no use or merit to me should you decline my requests. So if I may, here they are: - A little less [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With just about everyone weighing in on the Facebook acquisition of FriendFeed, I thought I&#8217;d add to the noise and toss in my riveting insight (or lack thereof). First of all, I&#8217;ve no idea what it means. But then, no one else does either &#8212; there is interesting speculation, however. One of the first notions [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m working with a team developing a new social networking tool tentatively called Crotch. We expect to compete with Facebook and Twitter. Given the rapid growth of both, and the deep roots each has developed in a short time, you might think it&#8217;s crazy to try to compete in the same space. You would be [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Two thoughts on the hubbub around Facebook&#8217;s terms and conditions and the backtracking on the revised version: 1) What if Facebook users wrote their own terms and conditions and include in it an assertion that not only do they own their own content, they own Facebook? Surely that would be as valid as Facebook&#8217;s attempt [...]]]></description>

In fact, there are so many tweets I don&#8217;t look at them because there are so many. On the Web, I see the same person&#8217;s thumbnail [...]]]></description>
