		<description><![CDATA[Hi Marc,

Terrific post, and now my brain&#039;s going to be pondering this for a while...

I think it&#039;s really important for each of us to pick our passion and not allow the plethora of options to overwhelm. I&#039;m active on LinkedIn and largely ignore Facebook. I try to post regularly on my blog, and have learned to go through my feed reader, share links, and offer comments later in the day when my work productively ebbs. Like you, my TweetDeck is omnipresent. And, when people ask me whether social media is worth the investment, I tell them I can&#039;t imagine not listening and not participating in the conversation.

Best,
Daria]]></description>
