		<description><![CDATA[This weekend I burned through Gary Vaynerchuk&#8217;s book, &#8220;Crush It!: Why NOW Is the Time to Cash In on Your Passion.&#8221;
The key point in this book is that you need to be passionate and excited etc., etc. about your brand. And you have to be prepared to work hard. The problem is, even with a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve noticed a few &#8220;web-celebs&#8221; have a tendency to &#8220;friend&#8221; and &#8220;follow&#8221; everyone who &#8220;friends&#8221; and &#8220;follows&#8221; them. My first impression remains: what can anyone do with all that chatter?
For example, Robert Scoble, an &#8220;A-List blogger,&#8221; claims he follows everyone that follows him. He&#8217;s got 5,000 friends in Facebook (the current limit), and is following [...]]]></description>
