What is the requester trying to accomplish? Is there a better way of accomplishing this? Is this applicable to enough users? Is this a problem that causes despair? Only then [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A couple of months ago, I set my mind on getting lean, or dare I say athletic. I tried calorie counting, but after 2 months I didn&#8217;t really see any improvement (I didn&#8217;t measure though, so perhaps it was so gradual that I didn&#8217;t notice). Now I have a personal coach at the local gym [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Great article from the Economist: For small brands fighting for recognition in crowded markets, almost any publicity is beneficial, he reckons. One reason is that, for lesser-known brands, negative perceptions fade more quickly in consumers’ minds than their general awareness of the product. When coming across a brand whose boss is, say, a philanderer, they [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If the product you sell is based on saving the customer money, then the amount you can charge is capped at the savings you pass on. And in reality, you can only gain a tenth of that, to make it worthwhile for the customer to engage with you. If it is based on headaches you [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Commitment to a cause is measured by the loss you incur from supporting it. Changing your profile color on twitter is not much of a commitment, because you don&#8217;t lose much. Donating money, spending time are much bigger losses, so they show more commitment. Opportunity costs present a grey area: if you decide not to have an iPhone [...]]]></description>

You have less than 30 seconds in the elevator to pitch your company to him, and get enough interest to schedule a meeting. Take too long, lack coherence, get lost in details, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I heard some people, incl. Google CFO Patrick Pichette, claim that Old Spice is the future of marketing. Not so. Viral marketing does not equate to increase in sales. The same was said of Budweiser and their &#8220;Whassup?&#8221; campaign. In fact, sales of Budweiser declined while the ad / meme was running full swing. Increasing [...]]]></description>

If you could drop that time down to 1h30, then suddenly it would become worthwhile. Why do some people read faster than others? My father [...]]]></description>

While the devices are very different, they both feature a web browser that has to face small resolutions (a television&#8217;s resolution sucks). On the Wii you use your Wiimote (remote), on the iPhone your fingers. [...]]]></description>
