		<description><![CDATA[	Citysearch, a division of IAC, wants to build out Sidewalk.com as a local guide site, and instead of launching their own coding project is testing the crowdsourcing waters.  Entrants get a shot at a $10K prize and (possibly) additional funding to realize the project.  Here&#8217;s the outline of the contest:

		<description><![CDATA[	The dust has settled after my back to back Web conferences in Austin: WebmasterWorld&#8217;s Pubcon South, and South by Southwest (SXSW) Interactive, and I thought I&#8217;d take a minute to compare the two.  I&#8217;ll start by saying that any such comparison is beyond apples &#038; oranges&#8230; the two conferences are quite different in scale, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	I remember in the early days of the Web it wasn&#8217;t uncommon for a site to tell you that you could only view the site in a particular browser, or that if you didn&#8217;t have a specific resolution you might not see everything.  Eventually, web designers figured out that rather than telling the user [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	Fast Company has a good article on the growing use of user-generated content to provide guidance on restaurants, hotels, and just about everything else.  The article focuses on the challenges faced by various review sites in balancing freedom of expression against the need to curtail bogus reviews generated by competitors or the firm itself:

		<description><![CDATA[	A Motley Fool post about Twitter reminded me, of all things, of an ancient WSJ article about the popularity of guayabera shirts.  I dimly recall that the article spent a long time discussing the comfort and business acceptability of the guayabera, but then closed with a punchline that went something like, &#8220;That&#8217;s all fine, [...]]]></description>
