		<title>What&#8217;s Different about Ron Paul?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While the other Republican presidential nominee candidates for 2012 have a real sameness about them, Ron Paul stands out. Whether that is because, as someone noticed on Quora, his supporters seem to like Star Trek, or for other reasons, social media like/interest data from optim.al (and their new SocialPredict data product) clearly highlights some of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Setting Yourself a Higher Standard: Google+</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the features I find it ridiculous that is being touted as really new &#038; valuable within the new Google+ service, is the notion of &#8220;circles&#8221; that allow you to categorize your contacts for selective sharing of stuff.

		<title>Greece Looking Nasty</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s looking pretty nasty in Greece right now with depositors pulling money out of their accounts. If you recall last year things got pretty out of hand with several people dying in protests. It is difficult to own up to, but all over the world our financial system is still very fragile with a lot [...]]]></description>

		<title>Opt into Being Tracked for Lower Rates</title>
		<description><![CDATA[OUTsurance in South Africa is a very innovative insurance company, despite (because of?) being a fairly new company. One thing I recently heard of was a program where they install a device in your car that tracks you via GPS, the data is assessed for driver behavior and then you may be given lower rates [...]]]></description>

		<title>LivingSocial: Deceptive Local Advertising?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s an ad I saw this morning on an online currency exchange calculator website, and found interesting enough to click on: I don&#8217;t actually live in Palo Alto, but it&#8217;s pretty close to where I do live, and I really like lobster, so this seemed interesting to me. Once I clicked on it, it took [...]]]></description>
