		<title>Online Interaction: Are you Chris Brogan or Seth Godin?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Chris Brogan and Seth Godin are two of the biggest figures in social media today. Yet both admit that they have different methods of interacting with people online.
Interaction Is Either Public or Private
Brogan is all about public interaction. A quick look at his twitter stream, and it&#8217;s obvious. Through his blog posts and his twitter, he frequently asks questions, inviting interaction. He openly invites everyone to connect with him on LinkedIn, and doesn&#8217;t really decline invitations to connect.

		<title>The Ultimate Place to Market: Google, Yahoo, or Times Square NYC</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Google. Yahoo. Two Internet giants. Any company with an online presence fights to get promoted through these sites. How these sites came to be in this position is the subject of a plethora or literature. But given the competition to be on these sites, another interesting question arises: Do Google and Yahoo need to promote themselves, and if so, where do they do this? 
On December 21st, 2009, I took the photo below at  Times Square, New York City . In it, we see the two giants side by ...]]></description>

Many educated consumers and marketers are convinced that conversations between customers and business are the future of marketing. We, the bloggers of ExponentialWeb, conducted an online poll &#8211; just to see what the people out there are really thinking.
