		<description><![CDATA[A couple years ago, my friend irhetoric and I were chatting about Twitter, as we were at the end of building Flotzam, a social networking aggregator tool that collects and visualizes the ephemeral information floating around in the social sphere. In some ways, this ephemerality is beautiful: all this information swirls around us like leaves that appear and decay over time. On the other hand, if this information is valuable, capturing and keeping it could be useful. ]]></description>

Check it out and leave a comment. Which comes first, the problem or the solution? IMHO, obviously the problem. So why do we so often develop technology solutions and then [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Question: “If you don’t have the 5 years’ experience requested by the job description, how do you break into the industry?” At industry conferences like MIX10, one of the most important things you can do is attend outside events—the ones hosted ad hoc or set up from people outside “the inner circle.” So often, these [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Okay, the title of this Opinion (Design for Tables)  is purposfully a little misleading. When I&#8217;m talking of tables in this Opinion piece, written for visitmix.com, I&#8217;m talking of desiging for actual tables, or, more specifically, Microsoft Surface and other tablet/touch devices. Honestly, I to think I&#8217;d talk about desinging with actual HTML &#60;tables&#62; is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I published a new Opinion on MIX Online today, dealing with community-generated content, and some of the unforeseen pitfalls of dealing with it. Broadcasting an audience&#8217;s live, unfiltered feedback is compelling and useful, but it also presents some challenges, most of which revolve around profanity, search results, and spam. But what about less obvious instances [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Getting away from our screens and actually meeting people is critical to learning and growing. We all have different personalities and quirks, and it can be hard to “put yourself out there.” Still, it seems so worth it to extend your hand and take the risk of making a connection, learning something new … growing.
