		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Is the iPad Really the Savior of the Newspaper Industry?&#8221; by &#8220;Amy-Mae Elliott (Mashable.com, 19 October 2010).  The short answer is, no.

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Master the upcoming culture change&#8221; by Paul Glen (ComputerWorld, 23 August 2010). While on one hand this article was encouraging there are also some fundamental oversights. 1) What upcoming change? It&#8217;s already here. To believe that it&#8217;s coming is a recipe for missing it. Anticipate proactively and don&#8217;t just stand there flat footed waiting. 2) [...]]]></description>

But let&#8217;s just cut to the chase&#8230; Maybe your brand just kinda sucks. For example, take the Domino&#8217;s Pizza YouTube incident.
