		<description><![CDATA[In a recent post, I discussed how I don&#8217;t believe that blogging is dead but rather that it&#8217;s changing. As one part of the puzzle, perhaps it&#8217;s the type of blog that will help the concept of blogs survive which is the  focus of this post. Categorizing Blogs There are several common ways to categorize blogs such as: Groups [...]]]></description>

Make it easy for me to filter your tweet and pay attention to it. It&#8217;s easier to understand you if you&#8217;re writing clean tweets.
