		<title>Drupal How To: Content Profile Basics</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A Good Profile Is Key In Drupal complex tasks can be very easy.  Sadly many times simple tasks can be complex.  Even more often, to make a complex task simple, you have to make a simple task complex first.  Such is the case with the content profile module.  Note, this example uses Drupal 6. Why [...]]]></description>

		<title>Social Media &#8211; Are You Doing It Wrong?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Networking Isn&#8217;t Always Simple   Have you been wondering what all the fuss about social media is?  You&#8217;ve maybe registered for Digg, submitted one of your stories and nothing came of it.  Seems like a waste of time, well&#8230;yes and no. Social Media Is About Community I had read this time and again.  As I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Is Twitter Over Already?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Not that long ago I was writing about how much I liked twitter.  It seems that as a fairly late adopter, I missed most of the glory days and it is now on the typical community life cycle: New and edgy. Still edgy but popular enough to be useful. Getting popular but still largely a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dear Drupal: Stop Turning Me Into A Jerk</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Drupal Is&#8230;Taking Over I&#8217;ve written before about my love/hate relationship with Drupal.  It has always seemed like if I just learn one more thing I will suddenly have complete mastery and be able to create fantastic sites with minimal effort.  I&#8217;ve always been frustrated by the lack of help and the lack of intuitiveness in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Facebook:Internet::Socialism:Free Markets</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Photo By: Henrik Bejke We were discussing the other day about future ventures and Annie basically put forth the contention that &#8220;forums were dead.&#8221; She said they seemed &#8220;archaic&#8221; and she didn&#8217;t know why anyone would bother making a free standing forum, when they could just make one on Facebook. This was troubling to me [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why Digg is better than Stumbleupon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Photo By: NightRPStar A while back we were mystified by the results we found with our tests of Stumbleupon. We&#8217;ve since concluded that our results stemmed from Stumbleupon&#8217;s advanced utilities to prevent people from &#8220;Stumbling&#8221; their own content.  The question that arises in my mind is: Why Have Functionality To Prevent People From Stumbling Their [...]]]></description>

		<title>An Unsurprising Result</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s interesting that almost everyone you read about will advise you that the key to good blogging is simply to write content that people will want to read.  Everythign else is secondary.  While I would submit that there is almost certainly a tremendous amount of good writing out there going unnoticed, an empirical test here [...]]]></description>

		<title>The World of Niche Sites</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Photo by: epicharmus We decided a while back to enter the world of niche sites. We&#8217;re basically pursuing a three tiered strategy in the whole Internet Empire plan: 1.) Look for new small opportunities to try out different things. 2.) Continue to promote our existing sites to learn marketing techniques. 3.) Look for the big [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Mysteries Of Stumbleupon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Photo Credit: Lall We enjoy a good mystery as much as the next guy, but&#8230; Stumbleupon has always felt more like a feel-good solution than an actual marketing approach. That being said you always have to consider that possibility that if just one person writes a blog about one of your articles it was well [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Magic Of Twitter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Twitter holds an interesting place in the current Internet pantheon. Everyone uses it, but no-one is sure it isn&#8217;t a complete waste of time. It seems to be a guilty pleasure in the Internet social networking buffet. However I contend it is the most purely useful of the social networking sites. We&#8217;ve written before about [...]]]></description>
