		<title>Foursquare. For Real?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
Until recently, I was a smart phone virgin. I treasured my Palm/flip phone combo and held off relinquishing my dynamic duo for years. After all, the team had stood by me; synchronizing faithfully for six (okay, even longer) years.
But recently, I took the plunge. Now just a few weeks into it, I am already an [...]]]></description>

		<title>Social Networking = Open for Business for Hackers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
Personal reputation management on social networks has been talked to death – just check Google.  While there are plenty of reasons to be cautious about the personal information you post on social networks, Clark Howard sums it up well, there hasn’t been as much discussion about protecting your business assets.
Social networking has created a slew [...]]]></description>

		<title>Going Beyond Default: How Changing Your Settings Can Spark Curiosity And Empowerment</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
PCs drive me crazy.
I’ll admit: when the Apple commercials come on, I identify with Mac guy. Not to bash PCs  (I promise), but I swear by Macs. It’s just my personal preference. And no, I’m not as cool as the Mac guy; my wife will tell you I dress more like a PC.
So when I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Video in E-mails</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
Over the years, I have seen many vendors that claim you can put video in an e-mail. And for years I have always hoped for this to be the truth. But alas, all they did was place a picture in an e-mail with a link to the actual video on a Web page. Not really [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rejuvenation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
This summer I did something I’ve never done. I took a 2 week vacation. The funny thing was no one thought I could actually do it, including my husband who needed convincing that I wouldn’t do a lot of work or cut the vacation short due to some pressing need at the office. He had [...]]]></description>

		<title>Let’s Hear It For Madonna</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
As a child of the 80s, nothing slows me down faster than 80s music.  It was high on my reasons for purchasing satellite radio and one of the reasons I can’t help but watch VH1 Classic.  So imagine my disappointment when I was one of only 11 people in the country who missed the tribute [...]]]></description>

		<title>Middle-Aged Brains</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Most of my friends share my concern with becoming more forgetful. Seems it’s a widespread phenomenon in those of us over 50. Though I’ve never been good with names, I’m worse than ever. And then there’s the walking through the house and not recalling what on earth I was looking for. So I was greatly consoled by a recent interview on NPR’s Fresh Air with author Barbara Strauch, who is Health and Science Editor of the New York Times.]]></description>

		<title>Calling all business owners on Foursquare</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ever since Foursquare opened up to users in Charlotte last fall, I was fanatically "checking in" to venues all over the city to become "Mayor" of those venues. But over time, I have found less of a need or desire to check into Foursquare venues. Why? No Incentive.]]></description>
