		<title>The Best Google Chrome Feature</title>
		<description>I&amp;#8217;ve been using Google&amp;#8217;s Chrome browser for a few weeks now and I&amp;#8217;m slowly falling in love with it&amp;#8230;
Before that I had always been a Firefox devotee.
But like a lot of users I found Firefox&amp;#8217;s memory hogging inclinations to a bit distracting at times!

		<title>How Many Times Do You Tweet a Day?</title>
		<description>Facebook might be huge but these figures released from Twitter are astonishing!

It&amp;#8217;s the growth that is phenomenal!  
Folks were tweeting 5,000 times a day in 2007. By 2008, that number was 300,000, and by 2009 it had grown to 2.5 million per day. Tweets grew 1,400% last year to 35 million per day. Today, [...]
