		<description><![CDATA[This is a question I’ve been mulling over a while now. I know social media is social but I wonder if it isn’t social in a way that displaces – or perhaps the correct word is &#8220;replaces&#8221; – another form of sociability.

		<description><![CDATA[Many businesses, especially small businesses, are wary of social media and for a variety of reasons.
