		<description><![CDATA[I hit 400 pages today. I'm maybe 25 per cent of the way there. If I had my druthers I think about 380 of them would be kept near-line if not deleted. Of course I'm working my way through a part of the site that's rife with disposable content. Namely bulletins about various rounds of bargaining.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Trying to use numbers to settle an argument today at work I found this (somewhat old) Jakob Nielsen column about how much reading most people actually do on the internet. The answer? Of the words you write, about <a href="http://www.useit.com/alertbox/percent-text-read.html">28 per cent on average get read</a>.

		<description><![CDATA[The flagship site at work - the one I'm mainly responsible for - needs a complete overhaul. Near as I can tell, it's more than 3500 static pages composed mostly of little news nugget items about various rounds of bargaining between us and the various employers who sit across the table from us. But there's other stuff too, hidden in the catacombs of landing pages and listing pages that litter the server.]]></description>

I can't speak for where I currently work - I'm still too new - but at other organizations, the whole issue of campaign objectives and evaluation has always been a bit problematic.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I must say for the near constant dribble of bad news about privacy, its galloping commercialism and all that I've always liked Facebook. It's allowed me to reassemble and in some cases reconnect with the diaspora of people I've known over the years. So I haven't minded being the product they sell to advertisers. <a href="http://boingboing.net/2011/11/22/anil-dash-facebook-attacks-th.html">Until now</a>.
