		<title>CongressTube?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over at ReadWriteWeb, they suggest that the House and Senate start using a white label video sharing service. By sharing their videos via only YouTube or GoogleVideos, they suggest, Congress is giving prestige if not endorsement to these sites.
The Department of Defense has tried this with TroopTube. After banning the use of YouTube on DoD [...]]]></description>

		<title>China as a seapower</title>
		<description><![CDATA[SLOC is another fine acronym brought to you by the Navy. Sea Lines of Communication are vitally important to any trading nation - and have been for centuries. Over 90% of the world&#8217;s good are transported by sea. If you trade, you care about the security of shipping lines. 
Pirates have always harassed shipping. Although [...]]]></description>

		<title>Walter Cronkite vs. the Blogs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Forty years ago, the world watched Walter Cronkite talk about&#8230;everything. He commented on the Moon landing, the Kennedy assassination, riots during the Democratic convention. Mr. Cronkite set the tone for America. And it was a one-way conversation.
Today&#8217;s news is much different. Viewers send in email, videos of themselves, they blog (often in real-time) during significant [...]]]></description>

		<title>MySpace and the Army</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The banning of access to MySpace may have long term repercussions for Army recruiting. Working class teenagers, the type most likely to enlist in the military, use MySpace. As many have noted, Facebook (which tends to attract college students) was not blocked.
MySpace may be bandwidth-intensive and insecure, but rather than just block access, the military [...]]]></description>

		<title>The accuracy of Wikipedia</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Much has been made of the accuracy of wikis - collaborative documents that has an open editing interface. Wikipedia is perhaps the most well-known wiki out there. It&#8217;s not 100% accurate, but what is? Other encyclopedias have errors too. Just with this one, they can be fixed. Who in their right mind would use any [...]]]></description>

		<title>Updating earlier posts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I realize that it has been a long time since I last posted. I&#8217;d like to update two earlier posts.
Slideshare has matured. People are using it primarily to share picture shows and how-to presentations about doing presentations. People obviously feel that most presentations can be improved. People &#8220;zing&#8221; presentations which is a way to mark [...]]]></description>

		<title>Video responses</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I was wandering around YouTube tonight, actually checking out an interesting explanation of Web 2.0, I noticed that it was tagged as a &#8220;video response&#8221; to another video. Now, that video was fairly bland and filled with a lot of exposition, while the one my friend recommended was much more interesting.
But it&#8217;s the response [...]]]></description>

		<title>My newest time-waster</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve never been a big fan of sports. In fact, I&#8217;ve always been confused and more than a bit irritated that sports scores are considered news. When I was on a command center watch floor, the three channels that were shown were CNN, CNN-Headline News and ESPN. Really.
Imagine my joy at seeing the new Fantasy [...]]]></description>

		<title>This is just cool</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The ability to test physics by writing on a blackboard&#8230;.I mean whiteboard, is just cool. And this video is at least several months old. Not sure where the technology is now.

		<title>America&#8217;s Funniest Home PowerPoints?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As you know, I&#8217;m not a fan of PowerPoints, but here&#8217;s an interesting idea. Many-to-Many reports that Slideshare wants to be the YouTube of presentations. 
I&#8217;m not sure about this, because so many slide decks are considered to be internal information. Perhaps in academia this makes more sense than it does to me. YouTube was [...]]]></description>
