		<description><![CDATA[Everyone should now have the new Facebook design. I&#8217;ll get to my opinion in a moment, but there&#8217;s one thing the new design is: iPad (or other touch device) ready. You can love it or hate it but you can&#8217;t deny that.
At Inizio Creative, I wrote a post about how design will have to change [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Considering I&#8217;m almost a full week late in this recap post, I&#8217;ll keep it brief. AIGA Design Camp &#8211; Minnesota was great.
Okay&#8230; maybe not that brief.
Girlfriend and I made our way up to Nisswa (an enormous metropolis) Friday morning. That day, Aaron Draplin of Draplin Design Co. fame, presented, there was a designer-specific accounting workshop, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Talk about capitalizing on a movement. Wow. Microsoft is going big on it&#8217;s Looking Glass project. I found out about it through Advertising Age.
Basically, Looking Glass will be a social media aggregator for business to track impressions or *cou-conversation-gh*. It&#8217;s obviously too early to tell if this will be successful or useful but the implications [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[::shakes head:: Facebook. ::sigh::
They&#8217;ve just reached 300 million users, only five months after reaching 200. They stole tagging from Twitter (at least in their convention for it). And now they, through a Vivox plugin, will soon have voice chat.
With the claim they were in the black last quarter, I don&#8217;t understand the desperation. In my [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Facebook opened its &#8220;Facebook Lite&#8221; just recently. The version is gutted, leaving only people, events, an inbox and an application-free wall. Status updates appear as usual, depending on the app used to send it.
Marketers should fret. There are no Pages, no Groups and the ad space on the page is markedly less. So where do [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Matthew Robson, in presenting a well-written report, sent waves through SM-ville yesterday. I&#8217;ve mentioned my own experience as a digital native. My gut-wrenching analysis didn&#8217;t garner as much popularity but reads awful similar.
I didn&#8217;t have co-writers or fill three pages and wasn&#8217;t published by the Morgan Stanley. It wasn&#8217;t covered by Bloomberg or The Telegraph [...]]]></description>

Many different small businesses can benefit from a similar, updated approach. It will drive traffic to their site and better position them for growth.

		<description><![CDATA[Numerous changes have hit, or will hit, Facebook recently. Most of them point to a determined attempt to undermine the buzz surrounding Twitter. Change is good, but Facebook has lost self-awareness.
Changes like the new &#8220;News Feed&#8221; that looks exactly like a Twitter homepage or making status updates fully public won&#8217;t cripple Facebook. Not entirely, at [...]]]></description>

Fully realizing the instinct to be over the shoulder, it&#8217;s still unproductive and wasteful. If you read the article (and I encourage you to do just that) [...]]]></description>

The presentations were great, the bacon was delicious (grilled&#8230; who knew?) and the heat was relentless. As always, it was enjoyable. [...]]]></description>
