		<description><![CDATA[I never thought I&#8217;d say it, but are we nearing the end of the Facebook era? I think so. Over the past year, I&#8217;ve noticed my time spent on the once great social network steadily decreasing, to the point of a rare visit. But, why? It&#8217;s the same site that previously controlled hours and hours [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Pardon the derogatory title, but there&#8217;s no pretty way to say it. Shit happens&#8230; on a regular basis.

It completely bent him out [...]]]></description>

Known for her outrageous antics, mediocre music and shocking attire, Lady Gaga can now add a new descriptor, pioneer. Don&#8217;t ask how I came across her latest music video, but I did&#8230; and couldn&#8217;t turn away. As [...]]]></description>

But as you&#8217;ll realize, as an early staged entrepreneur, those types of situations are hard to come by. That&#8217;s where books come into play.

How do they build hype around a product that isn&#8217;t even in existence, how do they congregate the top names in press on a moments notice, how do they make everything they release so damn irresistible? Aside from their products being absolutely amazing, the answer is this: They know how [...]]]></description>
