As I said in a recent interview, I’m always pointing to two spaces in the air, drawing a circle between the two and saying, “This is what I mean by the TV/ web relationship – it’s like the circle of life (as cheesey as that sounds). One platform feeds the other.”]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.snackbox.us/blog/rss-comments-entry-8233035.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Backgrounding People And Companies</title><category>Guest Posts</category><category>Resources</category><category>WebAnna</category><dc:creator>Jenna</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 20 Jul 2010 14:00:42 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.snackbox.us/blog/2010/7/20/backgrounding-people-and-companies.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">287810:2982205:7946901</guid><description><![CDATA[Special Projects Executive Producer Aaron Wishce recently attended a workshop given by Margot Williams, a researcher/librarian at the New York Times.

I love the iPhone. I’m not crazy about the rules for applications in the app store and I do wish it was a bit more customizable than it is, but as a whole package I love it. I also hate AT&T with a white-hot burning passion. Long story short, last month (pre iPhone 4) I decided to try out the new HTC Evo 4G – mostly prompted by the new AT&T packages for tethering.

What do you think?]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.snackbox.us/blog/rss-comments-entry-7946884.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>3 Ways To Find Communities On Twitter</title><category>Guest Posts</category><category>Social Media</category><category>WebAnna</category><category>twitter</category><dc:creator>Jenna</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 06 Jul 2010 14:00:13 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.snackbox.us/blog/2010/7/6/3-ways-to-find-communities-on-twitter.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">287810:2982205:7946846</guid><description><![CDATA[We know Twitter is a great way to connect with others online, but how do you broaden your connections and find others with similar interests?]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.snackbox.us/blog/rss-comments-entry-7946846.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Entrepreneurs: 5 Rules to Work By</title><category>Small Business</category><category>entrepreneur</category><dc:creator>Jenna</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 01 Jul 2010 17:00:59 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.snackbox.us/blog/2010/7/1/entrepreneurs-5-rules-to-work-by.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">287810:2982205:8140291</guid><description><![CDATA[Entrepreneurs have no "off" switch and, if you're like me, you're constantly working to grow your business, improve productivity... all the while wishing you had just a little downtime that employed people seem to have so much of.]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.snackbox.us/blog/rss-comments-entry-8140291.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Have We Evolved Beyond LOL?</title><category>Guest Posts</category><category>Internet</category><category>Resources</category><category>WebAnna</category><dc:creator>Jenna</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 29 Jun 2010 14:00:11 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.snackbox.us/blog/2010/6/29/have-we-evolved-beyond-lol.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">287810:2982205:7946622</guid><description><![CDATA[It is a well-written rant, but it seems like the point of view of an outsider afraid of where the Internet is taking our society & culture.
“We have all this amazing technology and yet computers have turned into basically four-figure wank machines.”
