		<title>Search &#038; Aggregation - evolving trends</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Just catching up on news feeds and came across a great post by Seth Godin about the &#8220;Nearly infinite&#8221; options online.
&#8220;&#8230;infinite is everywhere.
&#8220;There&#8217;s an infinite number of books at Barnes and Noble&#8230;
&#8220;There&#8217;s certainly, for all intents and purposes, an infinite number of web pages. And even Facebook, just a small subset of the web, has [...]]]></description>

		<title>Best Political Coverage?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Who offers the best political campaign coverage? Which networks and anchors bring us the in-depth news and interviews to give political junkies an angle on the inside workings of their candidate, or their opponents? Some would argue CNN or Fox. Others would clamour for ABC or NBC. Few, obviously, would make a pitch for Katie [...]]]></description>

		<title>Are politics not local?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Seth Godin inspires my upmost respect as a marketing thinker. So it&#8217;s been interesting to watch him turn his attention to politics lately. But when he tried to refute legendary former Speaker of the House Tip O&#8217;Neill, I had to take another look.
In a recent post about an intensive online grassroots lobbying effort in Canada, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tidbit: It&#8217;s the people, stupid.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When it comes to atypical, insightful management advice, I typically turn to Jim Collins. But for a marketing guy, what Seth Godin serves up is crystal clear. In an information economy and especially in a creative industry, is there possibly a more important asset than our people?

		<title>Natural Misunderstanding</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just a quick tidbit with a profound quote all professionals should consider:
