		<title>iPhone killer coming soon from RIM</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Finally, there's hope. In fact, I can almost smell victory. Soon, the smartphone crown...
Will.
Be.
Mine.
In the hard-fought smartphone war pitting my wife and her iPhone 3GS against me and my BlackBerry Bold, I'm left standing alone. The kids have long since abandoned me for Anne and her fancy apps. I'm left with the weak, "but it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Finally, podcasts land advertising dollars</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My footsteps fall lighter on the ground when my thumb is spinning the wheel on my iPod. Walking isn't drudgery when I have my podcast friends to keep me company.
I'm even willing to pay -- a little -- to keep my friends happy. After all, they're important to me. I love podcasts so much that [...]]]></description>

		<title>iPhone vs. BlackBerry</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Typing on my BlackBerry Bold 9800 is so much easier than on my wife's iPhone 3GS. And that fact alone might make up for all its other downfalls.
We went head to head recently typing the famous opening line to Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca, "Last night I dreamt I went to Manderly again." The rule was [...]]]></description>

		<title>I lived through a social media car crash</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I lived through a social media car crash yesterday... and it has me jazzed.
My wife Anne (twitter.com/AnneDouglasComm) and I were presenting about social media at a conference for lawncare professionals and golf course superintendents yesterday afternoon. There were a lot of questions about Twitter so I fired up Tweetdeck on my Mac, which was projected [...]]]></description>

		<title>Windows Phone 7 Series &#8211; first impressions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[First off, I had to basically cut and paste the name of Microsoft's new phone into the headline above to get it right. As the WSJ says, it sounds like the product of a typical Microsoft name-by-committee brainstorming.
Secondly, I need to be honest. I don't trust Microsoft. Being the overwhelming market share leader in PC [...]]]></description>

		<title>iPad 2.0 &#8211; A reader comments</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A smart reader, who prefers to remain anonymous, sent me an email after last night's post. Trust me, this guy is at the leading edge of new media marketing.
Nice blog. Well done. The more I learn about the Apple plan, the more I’ve come to understand that the devices are designed to do one thing [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dear Steve: Here&#8217;s what I want in the iPad 2.0</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I'm a Mac. I've been one for years. Between us, my family of five has three iPods, an iPod Touch, an iPhone, a MacBook, MacBook Pro, and two iMacs.
But we won't be buying an iPad. Why would we want a giant iPod Touch, which is all the iPad seems to be?
Steve Jobs and Apple missed [...]]]></description>

		<title>Twitter &#8220;Contributors&#8221; could bridge personality gap for business</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I've been cooling on Twitter recently. Maybe it's because the monstrous amount of work I've been trying to beat back with a stick has kept me pretty focused on being billable.
Nonetheless, I still see the marketing value of Twitter. It helps clients engage with customers and it provides a channel in which to promote content.
But [...]]]></description>

		<title>I have seen the future&#8230; and it looks a lot like the web?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Time Warner has unveiled it's prototype e-reader. It looks kind of like Amazon's Kindle, except more web-like. Users can poke around pages to activate video, sort pictures, create their own table of contents, and other neat stuff.

I suppose it's cool but man, it looks demanding on the reader. I might be old school but when [...]]]></description>

		<title>B2B&#8217;s big hurdle: Developing a personality in social media</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Know what doesn't work in social media? Twitter or blog posts by nameless corporations. And that's going to be the biggest hurdle for people like me who do B2B public relations.
The rules of successful social media engagement -- frequent updates, transparency, engagement with other users, personality -- don't mesh with corporate PR 1.0. Old-school PR [...]]]></description>
