	<dc:creator>aaronchua</dc:creator>
	<description><![CDATA[I know Alexa ranking is not the best analytic software around but it gives me a quick and dirty way to know how my funded startups are doing. I recently did a sample comparison and thought it would be interesting to share the tidbits that I picked up just by looking though the rankings. Here is the ranking. Note that I only focus on the B2C type of startups. Also note that I …]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[The most exciting opportunity for the iPhone OS3 is the opening up of the accessories API.

	<description><![CDATA['Markets are conversations'In my view, that is the most powerful line in the Cluetrain manifesto. Markets have always been about conversations. People talk about stuff and exchange ideas. Traditionally however, these conversations are perishable i.e. once spoken, the conversation is gone. They are also restricted to face to face meeting.Now with the web and the proliferation …]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[John Hagel had a great tweet:maps are powerful interfaces focusing on relationships, not objects - applies to people and ideas, not just places - enhances serendipityThis inspired me to think about interfaces. Serendipity doesn't happen in a vacuum. It requires a medium that conveys the flow of information, the diversity of views and the connections to the edge. The …]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[Alan Patrick wrote an interesting post that touches on whether Twitter is still 'cool', given that it seems to gaining mass adoption. Personally, I think the opposite. I feel that technology can only be cool once it becomes transparent and merges into our daily lives. This is when we can start to do interesting and useful things.StockTwits, TweetDeck etc are only the …]]></description>
