		<description><![CDATA[Twitter and me go a long way back. Okay, not too long. I&#8217;ve been tweeting for about four months. I turned to Twitter out of an encroaching boredom with the other social networking giant&#8211;Facebook. I had grown accustomed to Facebook, then familiar, then pretty much blind to everything I did there. Online became a substitute [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been playing with so-called social media now for several months. I started with LinkedIn, oddly enough. That probably isn&#8217;t the vendor of choice for most social web mavens. But I was out of work, doing the odd contracting gig, and LinkedIn seemed useful. Like most adult learners, I tend to go with functionality over [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Doreen Martel, a writer and regular on Twitter (@doreenmartel), posed this question in one of her recent tweets. I love Doreen. She asks questions that on the surface seem so benign. But if you even start to consider them seriously for even a moment, Doreen&#8217;s musing take on a life of their own. I&#8217;m sure [...]]]></description>

Respondents cited regulatory requirements, redundant paperwork and logistical challenges as the primary contributors of time spent away from the patient&#8217;s bedside. The study (http://www.jacksonhealthcare.com/media/72465/jh%20nurses%20study%202010.pdf), which [...]]]></description>
