		<description><![CDATA[I’ve expanded upon this idea on my personal blog, but since I’ve been discussing it lately, I thought I might go ahead and link this here as well.
The idea of the Digital Native, that oft-talked about terms, is one that people use incorrectly all the time. In fact, there is no proof, no science, no [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been sifting through the first few chapters of The Cult of Me, trying to lay the groundwork in the beginning of the book for the argument that comes later. I realized something in this process: I&#8217;ve talked about The Cult of Me without ever defining it. Really.

		<description><![CDATA[My buddy Glenn Platt, a professor and program director at Miami (OH) University, and I were chatting the other day about distributed stories.
I feel confident that I know what a distributed story is, how you build a network to tell those stories and some tools you might use that don&#8217;t seem obvious.
More importantly, he asked [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For some time, I&#8217;ve had this sense that the ways in which we have been discussing &#8220;interactivity&#8221; when it comes to storytelling has been wrong.
In this little thought exercise, interactivity is short for anything that requires users to engage in some action, but an action that is limited by the tools provided by the storytellers. [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s been amazing and I&#8217;ll be posting thoughts from my interview with Penguin Books, Six to Start and a host [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been contemplating a thought I had today during the final session of the b.tween conference here in Liverpool: there are two &#8220;types&#8221; of Web-centric stories, distributed and interactive.
The news business is working with interactive stories, which is a bad idea since it&#8217;s limiting and mainly used for branding purposes or tradition-type entertainment; distributed stories [...]]]></description>
