My goal is to get people thinking, sharing, and maybe even sparking some interesting conversations or [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s an unspoken but obvious truth in social media: if you want to be popular in the social media field, you need to make social media that&#8217;s about social media. Which seems asinine, doesn&#8217;t it? By comparison, if the only movies playing at your multiplex were movies about making movies, you probably wouldn&#8217;t have a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week, I blogged about why I&#8217;m ruthlessly downsizing my life &#8212; a post which, I should note, is now responsible for almost one quarter of my total blog traffic in the past 30 days.  Judging by those numbers, I&#8217;m not the only person who needs the occasional wake-up call. But am I tuning mine [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m guilty. I don&#8217;t really read for pleasure anymore, and rarely for insight. Instead, I skim, in the vain hope that I&#8217;ll stumble across a piece of information that&#8217;s worth paraphrasing and sharing with my followers.  This makes me less of an audience member and more like a member of a relay team, who&#8217;s more [...]]]></description>

That&#8217;s never good. So I contacted my tech guy, Shawn Smith, who&#8217;s been saving my digital ass since 2003 [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I usually blog about social media or social marketing (yes, there&#8217;s a difference), but I also have a few other recurring themes on this blog: armchair sociology, arbitrary self-help, better storytelling tips, and debunking other people&#8217;s bullshit.  And, like any blogger, I&#8217;d love it if each of my posts generated thousands of page views and [...]]]></description>
