		<title>Flu</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well folks it was more or less inevitable. I&#8217;ve dodged it for the best part of 6 months but it finally caught up to me on Friday. I&#8217;ve got flu.
I&#8217;m doing okay at the moment, just taking things a day at a time and getting plenty of rest. Hopefully I&#8217;ll be over it by mid-week.

		<title>Why Twitter trumps IMs</title>

It makes it easy to see at a glance if something is relevant.
It can produce some priceless quotes.
It&#8217;s social &#8211; everyone can read your public feed.
It&#8217;s private &#8211; direct messaging allows [...]]]></description>

		<title>Barclays Bank advert&#8230; a true Classic</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve always loved this advert, partly because it was performed by Samuel L Jackson and partly because it&#8217;s very clever. It says a lot&#8230;

&#8220;Nice shoes&#8221; I said
&#8220;You bet&#8221; he said
&#8220;How much&#8221; I said
&#8220;You can&#8217;t put a price on the stars&#8221; he said
