		<title>Should I go for a walk or spend an hour on Facebook?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The lure of social media sites is just one of a growing number of obstacles to a fit nation. Parents and educators are increasingly justified in their concern with adolescent obesity.
Picture this. Junior high school students hurry home, grab a snack and scurry to their bedrooms so they can get up to speed on various topics of the day [...]]]></description>

		<title>I have drunk the Facebook Kool-Aid</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I admit it. I am addicted to Facebook and think that it is a wondrous example of what I might call &#8216;accidental great design&#8217;.
Facebook was created by a young university student in a rather short period of time. Since those early days when Zuckerberg toiled away in the wee hours, it has obviously had the benefit [...]]]></description>

		<title>The lure of Facebook riches</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Is the road through Facebook paved with monetary rewards?
To the early and good application builders with a smart, watchful and flexible attention to simplicity, member volume and a revenue model, perhaps yes.
What do I mean by a revenue model? Simply put, a way to make money from whatever you do on Facebook. Let&#8217;s get something [...]]]></description>

		<title>Facebook Addiction</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hello, my name is (insert-name-here) and I am a Facebook addict.
It is easy to say and easy to joke about. However to some, any form of Internet addiction can become a significant life challenge.
For some, having an addiction to Facebook is an easy route to academic and/or social homicide. Seemingly harmless hours spent online add [...]]]></description>

		<title>Facebook may follow you like that ugly monkey tattoo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You know what I&#8217;m talking about - that 18 inch ugly monkey tattoo that just seemed to appear after your &#8220;Great Tequila Weekend&#8221; with the boys - it seemed like such a good idea at the time!
However, your Facebook existence may not be as private as you might think. In fact, your Facebook exploits may [...]]]></description>

		<title>The road ahead&#8230;.so much to learn</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is the first diary entry (in the category FBappdevdiary) that will be directly related to my journey towards a successful Facebook application. This journey will yield tales of successes, frustrations, confusion and battles with bureaucracy. I won&#8217;t reveal the exact nature of my planned Facebook application until the latter stages of development and deployment. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Will Facebook explode?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Anything on the Internet grows at a rate of about 3% per week is bound to morph into something different from its initial form and business model. It&#8217;s just a matter of time before Facebook and/or Myspace explodes, fragments, morphs into something new&#8230;. or becomes the next digital ghost town.
What will ultimately cause Facebook to [...]]]></description>

		<title>You keep me hanging on&#8230;.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Supremes and later Vanilla Fudge sent this song line reverberating through the sixties and seventies. It tells about a personal struggle whether to hang on to or set free a love interest.
In the Facebook culture, the term &#8216;hanging on&#8217; can mean an entirely different thing to Facebook application owners.
Facebook provides a shell environment (too [...]]]></description>

		<title>Does your mommy know?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The potential for misuse of information on social media sites is a real concern. For a rather scary perspective on the amount of and potential (mis)uses of personal information held on Facebook, it is worth a few minutes to watch the flash video &#8220;Does what happens in the Facebook stay in the Facebook?&#8221; Some of the information [...]]]></description>

		<title>Who is making money on Facebook?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Good question! 
It&#8217;s obvious that social networks are big business for the owners of social network internet sites themselves.  Mashable reports that MySpace is making about $25M per month in ad revenue- no small chunk of change. Facebook is, as of August 2007, the second largest social network as compared to MySpace in terms of traffic [...]]]></description>
