			<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.trieditmyself.com/images/stories/blog/images/October/i_shop_therefore.jpg" border="0" alt="I shop, therefore, I am." width="130" height="127" align="left" /&gt;Baltimore, MD - 2009/10/17 -- With all of the recent hype about facebook, twitter, social networking, social media and the like, a new form of virtual social interaction is emerging: Social Consumerism.  It is ushering in a new form of monetization for marketing consumer goods and services to the masses.  By giving the consumer a voice, and by enabling the consumer to share in the revenue from advertising and sales marketed directly to them, the consumer is able to share in the power of a market economy, rather than just being subject to it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Until recently I did not have a remedy for my itchy skin.  But, about a week ago I met the CEO of &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.luxurynaturals.com" target="_blank" title="Luxury Naturals"&gt;Luxury Naturals&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/shawndel.bennett?_fb_noscript=1" target="_blank" title="Shawndel Bennett"&gt;Shawndel Bennett&lt;/a&gt;.  Luxury Naturals is a small business that specializes in the making of all natural soaps and Shea butter body creams.&lt;/p&gt;

			<description>&lt;p&gt;Well, here we go again!  Tried It Myself is once again back on the Blogosphere.  After about a year and a half of being dormant.  I've decided to remove the original Tried It Myself blog and start from scratch.  A good friend once told me when you've got something good going, don't mess with it. Unfortunately, I didn't listen to him, so here we are with version 3 of Tried It Myself...&lt;/p&gt;
