		<title>The Stars at Night Are Big and Bright</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Deep in the Heart of Texas!
Yumiko and I are moving to Austin Texas this month.  I&#8217;ve accepted a job with a dotcom there.  I want to send out all our love and appreciation to everyone we&#8217;ve met while here in The Lou.  For what it&#8217;s worth, I&#8217;ll be one closer to the <a href='http://www.davejenkins.com/2012/01/04/the-stars-at-night-are-big-and-bright/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<title>Siri is Not a Threat to Google</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The second thing pundits exclaimed about Siri, the voice-controlled search bot on iPhone 4s, was that it poses a real threat to Google&#8217;s business model, and puts Apple as the company that could possibly unseat the Emperor. (the first thing everyone said was &#8220;Squee! New Apple thingy!&#8221;)
Pish-posh.  Apple&#8217;s Siri is no more threat to Google <a href='http://www.davejenkins.com/2011/12/02/siri-is-not-a-threat-to-google/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<title>Strata: Identity &#8211;&gt; Reputation &#8211;&gt; Expertise</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Jon Evans raises a good point over at TechCrunch: the identity wars are over (winner:facebook), and the &#8216;reputation war&#8217; has begun.  This is a war not of actual reputations, but of online properties that can best establish, facilitate, and most importantly score and compare reputations among so-called &#8220;experts&#8221;.  Quora is a popular place for this, <a href='http://www.davejenkins.com/2011/11/16/identity-reputation-expertise/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<title>Alibaba May be Yahoo&#8217;s Best Hope</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yahoo! is in play, again.  Microsoft has been rumored to renew it&#8217;s offer, Google may be lurking around, and Alibaba, the China ecommerce marketplace / payment method / sourcing B2B giant, has also been very public about it&#8217;s wanting to buy Yahoo!.  In my opinion, Alibaba may offer the best path forward for Yahoo.  My <a href='http://www.davejenkins.com/2011/10/23/alibaba-may-be-yahoos-best-hope/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<title>TMall Tries For An Expensive Velvet Rope</title>
		<description><![CDATA[TMall, the online marketplace for &#8220;officially&#8221; licensed goods for sale in China, recently announced a severe (5x-10x!) jump in registration fees for businesses.  Spots in the mall used to cost a small business owner about $1000 per year.  Now, that could jump to over $5000 &#8211; $9000 (RMB30,000 &#8211; RMB60,000).  The backlash <a href='http://www.davejenkins.com/2011/10/17/tmall-tries-for-an-expensive-velvet-rope/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s the Packets, Stupid</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Rob Malda (aka CmdrTaco) recently posted his skepticism over the Amazon Tablet because of its Silk web browser.  His quick (and insightful) analysis zeros in on the way that the Silk browser functions as a direct window to the Amazon Cloud.  Silk isn&#8217;t actually downloading all those webpages, it&#8217;s showing you a proxy of every <a href='http://www.davejenkins.com/2011/09/29/its-the-packets-stupid/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<title>instagram is your personal gallery walk</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Facebook has announced that it will be adding filters for photos, so people can retro-wash their pics with that synthetic polaroid saturation, or get all poignant with some black and white pics of their kids putting peanut butter on the cat.  This is being billed as a direct response to instagram. I would assume <a href='http://www.davejenkins.com/2011/08/25/instagram-is-your-personal-gallery-walk/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<title>China Bubble &#8211; the first pinprick?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After the horrible accident last week on China&#8217;s High Speed Rail, stocks in the rail companies are taking a beating.  Most of the money seems to be shifting to Chinese Airline companies, which would stand to reason as simple replacement.  However, the article also notes that the property along the rail lines, which had <a href='http://www.davejenkins.com/2011/07/25/china-bubble-the-first-pinprick/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<title>LinkedIn, You may not like this, but&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
LinkedIn CEO Jeff Weiner has gone on the record thinking that Google+ may start to crowd the field, and that social networks are approaching a zero-sum game: people really only have so much discretionary time, and they&#8217;re not going to &#8220;add&#8221; another network unless they start diminishing another.
I agree.  However, LinkedIn may not like where <a href='http://www.davejenkins.com/2011/07/19/linkedin-you-may-not-like-this-but/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<title>High Klout Scores = Welcome to My &#8220;Blabbermouths&#8221; Circle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[All of the techno &#8220;stars&#8221; came out in that first 24 hours of Google+.  There was Joi Itoh, Robert Scoble, Seth Godin, Harry Joiner, etc.  Most of them seemed to keep it cool, poking around and commenting here and there.  One of them charged ahead, posting something every 5 minutes, often with some half-baiting question <a href='http://www.davejenkins.com/2011/07/13/high-klout-scores-welcome-to-my-blabbermouths-circle/'>[...]</a>]]></description>
