My wife has deemed these weekend classes &#8220;dad soup&#8221;, because it seems this is the day when all the fathers are around to jump in the pool. Last weekend, I bumped into an old colleague [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think you all know by now that I am a fan of social media as a business tool, as well as on a personal level. Last week I was trawling through my Twitter feed, as I do multiple times a day, to find interesting content to read or to find a gem of a deal on a new t-shirt or shoes. But what I got (as I always have, but it now seems harder to ignore), is affiliate link after affiliate link with the promise of untold riches from the Internet.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is one of the most reviled practices of the Twitterverse, yet so many people using it for business continue to do it. Anyone who uses Twitter will know of the seemingly endless stream of direct messages that begins the second you begin following people. Typically, these are not personal messages thanking you for following them, nearly all of them are automated and contain links to sites offering you a free something in return for signing up, most of which revolve around showing you how to pick up 10,000 new followers in 5 minutes.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With the number of people I follow and those following me growing substantially in the past month, one of the things I have encountered (and I understand is not uncommon particularly when using it as a business tool), is the culture of people who will follow you, and then unfollow you if you don't reciprocate within a time frame, only to follow you again a few days later in the hope that you will then follow them. It's the web's equivalent of the kid at school who is desperate to be your friend.]]></description>
