		<description>&lt;p&gt;  Recently, there has been a good deal of investigation by the &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FTC against bloggers and website promoters&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;for not publishing   advertising profits, or potential &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;relationships with ad networks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;What are your personal thoughts about how this could potentially impact&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the blogging world?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Agree completely. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;I find it shocking that Dooce spoke her mind, and people felt like they had the right to bully her. I do enjoy Twitter, but after being attacked for such benign comments or conversing w/ someone they felt was controversial (and truly not controversial at all) had the right to say mean, horrible and vicious things. An earlier poster is right, we need to &quot;reset&quot; manners and kindness to others. Life is too short and I enjoy a spirited conversation like the next person to learn and gain knowledge, but when its done to people who hurt, maim, and drag someone down, I have no problem blocking them from my computer.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;As for AT&amp;T I&#039;ve had so many issues w/ them I stopped counting. The sucky part is that my last two jobs wouldn&#039;t reimburse me unless I was using them. I don&#039;t know why corporations do that, but it really is unfair. I&#039;ve been through 6 Blackberry Bolds since December. Someday I really hope they figure it out.  &lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I totally agree. I work in retail. It&#039;s the only way people get treated fairly. You gotta &#039;lose your shit&#039; before you get good customer service. I don&#039;t know why these corporations do this. They intentionally make it hard for consumers to get what they pay for. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Also, she put up with their b.s. alot longer than I would. She put up with a non-working $1300 washer for almost a month. Give me a break, Maytag. I will never buy one!!&lt;/p&gt;</description>
