		<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.

		<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>

		<description><![CDATA[Facebook is used by shoals of people (to steal a term Kurt Vonnegut liked to use). Twitter&#8217;s growth is always &#8220;surprising&#8221; (although, by now, the real surprise would be if it stopped). For me, however, what is most interesting is who is using Twitter. It&#8217;s older people driving the growth whereas conventional wisdom tells us [...]]]></description>
