		<description><![CDATA[Friend &#8211; it&#8217;s a simple enough word, but what it conveys means such different things to different people and in different situations. Take Facebook, for example. There, the word &#8216;friend&#8217; simply means someone who you know, to all intents and purposes. I&#8217;m not saying I don&#8217;t like anyone among my Facebook friends (god forbid, I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The answer to the title of this post is, of course, have kids! Spotted this great piece on Monday at work and then Clair reminded me of it in her post. The thrust of the article (if you can&#8217;t be arsed to read the link) is that having kids really shows up the cracks in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I discovered today that I have been the recipient of the ultimate social networking snub &#8211; someone who was previously my Facebook &#8216;friend&#8217; has removed me from his roster. I found this out by total accident, when I saw this person&#8217;s name in a list of someone else&#8217;s friends and it told me I could [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I went out for drink the other night with someone I&#8217;d never met before. With the consent of my other half, I might add. This person was someone I&#8217;ve got to know online, not through a dodgy chatroom, but through similar interests on a social networking website, in this case last.fm. For me, it just [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Have you ever done that thing where you have a party and you invite lots of different friends from different parts of your life (job, university friends, social club), many of who don&#8217;t know each other that well, or have perhaps never met? Sometimes it works, but sometimes it doesn&#8217;t and, on those occasions when [...]]]></description>
