		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, for my daily #1004question, I asked my Twitter followers: If you had to give up Twitter or Facebook, which one could you live without? The results surprised me. Of the 26 people who responded on Twitter: 20 said they&#8217;d give up Facebook. 3 said they&#8217;d give up Twitter. 3 said they&#8217;d give up both. [...]]]></description>

Last week, I noticed a Twitter trending topic that said &#8220;Justin Deserves Our Love.&#8221; Never one to pass up a chance to make a sociological comment about [...]]]></description>
