		<title>Five things Sky News can do to make their new Twitter rules less silly (Please retweet)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sky News has, by common acclaim, just shot itself painfully in the foot by effectively banning its staff from using Twitter in most of the important ways that Twitter is used. As reported by The Guardian&#8217;s Josh Halliday, the new rules say, in short: Do not retweet any non-Sky News account &#8211; not journalists from [...]]]></description>

		<title>A baby is an analogy that does not work</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This video, &#8220;A Magazine Is an iPad That Does Not Work&#8221;, is getting passed around a lot right now. From the description: &#8220;Technology codes our minds, changes our OS. Apple products have done this extensively. The video shows how magazines are now useless and impossible to understand, for digital natives. It shows real life clip [...]]]></description>

		<title>Billionaire&#8217;s Shortbread recipe from NomNomNom &#8217;11</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So the other weekend, I took part along with m&#8217;colleague Chris in NomNomNom &#8217;11 &#8211; a kind of Mastercheffy cooking contest for bloggers. It was, as always, huge fun (also as always, I didn&#8217;t win.) I was hoping to write up my full experience, but unfortunately I find myself in a field in Derbyshire with [...]]]></description>

		<title>Does the Lynn Barber libel case ban reviewers from being &#8220;spiteful&#8221;?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s been a bit of a wailing and a gnashing of teeth on the interwebs today about the libel decision handed down yesterday by Justice Tugendhat which found against the Telegraph and Lynn Barber, over a review Barber wrote in 2008 of Dr Sarah Thornton&#8217;s book &#8216;Seven Days in the Art World&#8217;. Possibly because of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Three weeks with a MacBook Air</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A couple of weeks ago, I did something that doesn’t come naturally to me: I paid a fairly hefty wodge of money for an Apple computer. I’ve never owned a Mac before; while I’ve got nothing particular against Team Cupertino, I’ve always been a PC boy at heart, ever since I first laid eyes on [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Four Square Revolution</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tahrir Square in Egypt. Pearl Square in Bahrain. Green Square in Libya. May First Square in Algeria. Dictators have always loved squares. They’re good for big military parades, shows of national unity, triumphalist architecture, and statues of you riding a horse. You can’t be a good dictatorship without a proper square; if you can, you [...]]]></description>

		<title>The most interesting things about the DoJ&#8217;s Twitter subpoena aren&#8217;t about Twitter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the more interesting things about the subpoena served on Twitter by the US Department of Justice, demanding information about the accounts of various people connected to WikiLeaks (which Twitter commendably fought to have unsealed, so they could warn the users and give them a chance to challenge it before handing over any data) [...]]]></description>

		<title>Short memory</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I know there&#8217;s other, bigger, more topical things going on right now, but I couldn&#8217;t let this little gem of self-aggrandising historical revisionism from Clare Short slip past. Speaking to the Guardian about how Gordon Brown will be remembered, she says: On Iraq he was marginalised by Blair for most of the time, but if [...]]]></description>

		<title>Indecision time</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So here we are. Bloody again. I&#8217;ve voted in every single election I&#8217;ve been able to in my adult life; every local, mayoral, national and European election for over a decade. Of those many, many elections, I think I&#8217;ve been able to cast a willing and meaningful vote &#8211; voting for someone I truly wanted [...]]]></description>
