		<description><![CDATA[Marc,
I&#039;m very honored to be included in the honorable mention list and agree with Peter, your blog should be in the list too.  I&#039;m grateful to have met you virtually in &#039;08 and enjoy our conversations on Twitter and through our blogs.  I look forward to meeting you in person in &#039;09.
Best,
Adam]]></description>

That said, thanks for the honorable mention. My peers on THAT list are already in my RSS and Twitter feeds; your entrees are all known to me, with a few minor exceptions, such as Joseph Jaffe -- whose blog I just subscribed to at your recommendation.

		<description><![CDATA[What an invaluable list! I&#039;m follow the majority of them but also picked up a couple new gems thanks to this post. I&#039;m honored to be included on your list. While I don&#039;t consider my blogging as interesting as yours or the folks you mention, I&#039;m doing my best to contribute. I&#039;m glad to have found you and your blog this year, and look forward to more great perspectives from you in 2009. Thank you Marc!]]></description>
