		<title>What is lacking in social networking now?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This thought started with a Quora question &#8211; what is still missing in social networks &#8211; I believe it is the category-domain knowledge based discussion groups.

		<title>Reasons Why We Commit Site Centric Sins instead of User Centric Design</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some Site Centric Sins&#8230; 1) The user experience of the feature is designed with what you want the user to do for your site&#8217;s goals &#38; objectives, not the user&#8217;s. 2) The site is designed to bring users to the site (traffic generation), not for them to actually fulfill their needs. 3) The feature is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Community Manager as Chief Thank You Officer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While composing the preso for a talk about Crowdsourcing that I presented last Sunday at Stanford Business School, I thought of a catchy way to describe the Community Manager&#8217;s job.  Community Manager = Chief Thank You Officer &#8211; the person that makes sure that everyone who deserves to be &#8220;thanked&#8221; in a community is thanked.

		<description><![CDATA[As all modern economists (not dogmatic crazies) would agree, recessions are largely caused by behavioral shifts in expectations and consumer confidence.  The marginal investments and consumer spending that drive economies in &#038; out of booms &#038; busts are largely driven by how we collectively feel about the economy, rather than actual job losses or industrial contraction.  Its [...]]]></description>
