As a result, many of them have been paying twice as much as they should. To make things worse, they were receiving less than half of what they should have [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Through social media I’ve been following a couple of issues recently. It has lead me to have questions about social media, particularly the conversation aspect. A news story, a blog post or a Facebook page has comment tools or “like” tools and the original item acts as an initiator to a conversation. I’ve noticed a [...]]]></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 saw some tweets to a post, The Trouble With Twitter (Melissa Hart, The Chronicle review), and something occurred to me. The essay is another of the many Twitter critiques that, personally, I&#8217;m finding a bit tiresome. After reading it, I thought that what it amounted to was, &#8220;I don&#8217;t want to change.&#8221; That&#8217;s fine. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For my headline to be complete it should read, &#8220;What you save in dollars you spend in time because, as you probably know, time is money.&#8221; In other words, saving dollars doesn&#8217;t always save dollars. I&#8217;m thinking about businesses and web sites and social media. The other night I was at an event, talking to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is some irony in this post about social tools, like Twitter, in that I&#8217;ll probably tweet this (is that the correct terminology?) and maybe even post it as a note on Facebook. This is about social tools and noise and it&#8217;s prompted by a blog post titled 20 days off from Twitter: A View [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I finally came across RescueTime and decided, with some trepidation, to test it out. It&#8217;s a time management, productivity kind of thing. Basically, it tracks what you do on your computer. Spending lots of time on games? Porn sites? It will tell you! Working in spreadsheets? Doing online research? Writing docs? It will tell you!
