		<title>Revolutionizing Communication:  Google Wave Targets Businesses</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’ve had trouble accurately describing what Google Wave is exactly. At its highest level, Google Wave is the next revolution in communication.  Period.  And businesses would be foolish to be ignorant and not harness what will certainly be the most powerful communication tool since e-mail.
I know you’re saying to yourself, “yeah dude, just [...]

		<title>Blogging for Wineries</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Have you ever noticed that none of the Technorati’s top wine blogs are written by people who actually own wineries: Vinography, Fermentation, Dr .Vino. That may seem counter-intuitive, but not if you examine what makes a good wine blog. Here are some best practices for wineries’ blogs—if you’re a winemaker that wants to get found [...]

		<title>Indianapolis Museum of Art&#8217;s ArtBabble Project</title>

		<title>Google Squared vs. Wolfram&#124;Alpha &#8230; FIGHT!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Google didn’t take long to unveil its plans to crush the yet-to-be released fact engine, Wolfram&#124;Alpha.

		<description><![CDATA[We went on Jeffrey T. Meyer&#8217;s Good Beer Show podcast a month or so ago to talk about women and beer.

		<title>Yelp Lets Businesses Crash the Party</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The New York Times reported last week that Yelp will, after six years of a user-driven approach to community business reviews, allow small business owners to respond to critiques they don&#8217;t think are fair or accurate.
