		<title>Selling out the guest list</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve often described social media as a cocktail party&#8211; there are various types and levels of interaction, and there are some basic rules of etiquette.  As host of the party, facebook has a tough balancing act: give out all that functionality for free while keeping the lights on. Well, it looks like they just sold <a href='http://www.davejenkins.com/2010/07/25/selling-out-the-guest-list/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When you&#8217;re at the pub, what do you talk about?  Your car? Your weekend?  Your golf game?  Your new tasty favorite indie band?  FSM help you if you talk about work&#8211; boring.  When you&#8217;re online, what do you chat/write/blog/tweet about?  Sure, we geeks talk about the biz and tools and sites and Steve Jobs gossip&#8211; <a href='http://www.davejenkins.com/2010/07/22/online-community-pub-topics/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<title>Qualitative Feature Polarization</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Okay, I&#8217;m likely going for triple-word-score here, but I&#8217;d like to discuss what I call &#8220;Qualitative Feature Polarization&#8221; in terms of how to read data.  I&#8217;ve talked about this before in the specific case of how to rate a sushi restaurant, but I think the principles apply to any situation where people are asked to <a href='http://www.davejenkins.com/2010/07/01/qualitative-feature-polarization/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<title>Everyone&#8217;s an Expert (part 2)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A couple of days ago I visited the subjective nature of &#8216;expertise&#8217;, and how online community software and social networks are actually exaserbating the relative nature of percieved expertise in any given field.  I&#8217;d like to continue with a direction where I think the true expertise is developing: it&#8217;s all in the numbers.

		<description><![CDATA[
Times was, I used to be able to spout off any random factiod I thought I knew, and the Internet took it as read truth.  The Wikipedia used to be great for this.  Now, my rants are pretty much limited to the blarg you&#8217;re reading right now&#8211; we&#8217;re probably all better off for it.  Most <a href='http://www.davejenkins.com/2010/06/17/everyones-an-expert-part-1/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<title>Suica Will Supplant Credit Cards</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently came back from an extended stay in my other home, Tokyo.  While there ,we did the usual daily things: ride the train, buy groceries, get lunch, eat sushi, watch Godzilla movies (well, okay, just once).  Here&#8217;s the thing: we only used a credit card maybe 3-4 times over 10 days, and used actual <a href='http://www.davejenkins.com/2010/05/24/suica-will-supplant-credit-cards/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As a kid, I remember how cool it was that we had two phone lines (a luxury in the 1970s).  At the time, I figured it was to facilitate compromise amongst the children, so we could use both at the same time.  Now I realize (and remember) that we weren&#8217;t supposed to use the first <a href='http://www.davejenkins.com/2010/03/02/wallace-jenkins-md/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<title>The case for free wifi in retail stores</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I really don&#8217;t like shopping.  It used to bring out my inner Marxist, but now it just incurs a low-level buzz in my head.  I&#8217;ve found I can keep it under control if I satiate my internet addiction every 10 minutes or so.  Many stores, however, are large window-less Faraday cages, which kills the 3G <a href='http://www.davejenkins.com/2009/11/26/the-case-for-free-wifi-in-retail-stores/'>[...]</a>]]></description>
