		<title>Breaking News: The Internet is Dead!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In a recent interview with British tabloid newspaper The Daily Mirror, the artist formerly known as “the artist” (and now once-again known as Prince) proclaimed, &#8220;The internet&#8217;s completely over.&#8221; (For a great article on this proclamation, check out: http://www.cnn.com/2010/OPINION/07/08/howlett.prince.internet/index.html?iref=allsearch ).

		<title>Naked Doesn’t Mean “Uncomfortable”</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We recently talked about the importance of having a good landing page.

		<title>The Importance of a Good Landing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Imagine boarding a plane for a trip to Los Angeles. You’ve purchased your ticket. You’ve made it through security.

		<title>Show me the Numbers!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over the past six months or so you’ve heard a lot from us about Social Media. We’ve talked about Twitter. We’ve blathered about blogs.

		<title>Is it Sweet to Tweet?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We recently discussed whether or not your company should blog. We could ask the same thing about using Twitter. Should you tweet?

		<title>To Blog or Not to Blog? (Is that really the question?)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It seems that everyone and his dog has a blog (And that’s not just a catch phrase. Check out http://www.dogswithblogs.com.au/ and see for yourself!).

		<title>The Importance of Being Real</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We all want to be respected. We all want people to think we’re smart. And if you’re in business, you want your clients to look to you for expertise.
