		<description><![CDATA[I attended my first Jane and Robot event on June 25th at the office of Ignition Partners. As you might suspect, a search event geared towards developers &#038; designers attracts your regular assortment of web geeks. I wouldn&#8217;t be surprised if half the audience was dissapointed that they never got to lay eyes on Jane, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last year, I gave out some SMX attendee tips which still apply to the 2nd installment this year. 
Outside of those tips, this year I recommend using the SMX Connect service by Crowdvine to learn about and pre-set up the people you want to meet. Unfortunately, not everyone is using it, so I also recommend [...]]]></description>

Well, I suppose it isn&#8217;t really a campus - I&#8217;d call it a shared office building with lots of cool Google logo art and not [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It appears that Digg is finally closer to being purchased. The leading candidates are Google and Microsoft. While the final owner won&#8217;t be known for probably another month, the future of Digg is known:
If Google buys Digg, it will become Gigg. 
Rather than trusting pesky humans to digg news stories, Google will implement an algorithm [...]]]></description>

I suspect most individual non-corporate wiki creators will quickly be turned off by being forced to provide business information like # of employees (with 10 being the minimum example), business phone #, etc.

There&#8217;s so much overlap and the difficulties of becoming to big of a company just got bigger. I&#8217;m happy to see Google get stiffer competition, but I&#8217;m not sure how it will play out other than Microsoft immediately getting a larger [...]]]></description>
