		<title>Are Bots and Algorithms Taking Over the World?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The other day a friend of mine sends me a link to a YouTube video.  Now this is no ordinary friend, this guy is probably hovering somewhere around brilliant on the smarts scale; he reads the works of the great philosophers for fun and seems to "study" everything.  The video is by Kevin Slavin and is title "How algorithms shape our world".   While I'm not normally in the habit of watching math videos, this one seemed intriguing so I watched it.  If you haven't seen the video, it's worth seeing, click on the name and watch it...it's fascinating and raises some interesting issues.]]></description>

		<title>Think Social Media is Just a Fad?  Think Again&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I attended a presentation on mobile technology for real estate today, part of which focused on social media and how to use it to market your business.  There was a fair amount of discussion about Facebook, Twitter, Twellow, Linkdn as well as some others.  The best part though was the speaker played a video that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Guerrilla Marketing, NOT Terrorist Marketing!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wikipedia defines &#8220;Guerrilla Marketing&#8221; as: &#8230;an unconventional system of promotions that relies on time, energy and imagination rather than a big marketing budget. Typically, guerrilla marketing campaigns are unexpected and unconventional; potentially interactive; and consumers are targeted in unexpected places. The objective of guerrilla marketing is to create a unique, engaging and thought-provoking concept to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Federal Budget Deficit 101</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This video was sent to me and if it wasn&#8217;t for the fact it is probably a reasonably accurate depiction of the budget deficit, it would be funny.  It&#8217;s a great illustration of the Federal Budget, the deficit and Obama&#8217;s recent promise to cut $100 Million from the budget. &#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;]]></description>

		<title>Is GUAM going to &#8220;tip over&#8221;?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[By: Dennis Norman OK, I&#8217;ll admit it, I couldn&#8217;t figure out a way to write about this on any of the real estate blogs I write for so I had to write about it here. I really didn&#8217;t think there could be a Congressman that could say something dumber than the things I have heard Rep [...]]]></description>

		<title>Do you know the difference between your face and your butt?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Apparently outdoor-apparel manufacturer The North Face doesn&#8217;t think so.   I say this because of a recent lawsuit that was filed by North Face against South Butt, a company manufacturing outdoor clothing as a parody of North Face.  The suit alleges that the South Butt brand is causing confusion amongst consumers with the North Face brand.  [...]]]></description>
