		<title>New Facebook: Twitterbook or Facebook?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

I finally was able to get the “new Facebook” today, which I was pretty hyped about seeing. There has certainly been quite a bit of hype built up about the new home page and how it would be a great challenge to Twitter and the like.  It certainly looked like Facebook was taking a lot [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, I able to experience Christmas as it is held in Japan &#8211; well, sort of. Actually, it would be more accurate to say that I celebrated Christmas Eve, as Christmas itself did not seem to be a holiday (but the 24th was).
