		<description>A new Travel web-site www.SOPRIZ.com has a new easy-to-use interface, offers low airfares, hotels, vacation packages and much more. It is different from what exist today on the market and I am quite impressed by the design and navigation site offers.</description>

		<description>&lt;b&gt;Definately will not go to Vilamoura anymore, 6 Hour rounds of Golf and 4.5 Euros for a beer , we will stay clear of the Vilamoura golf courses this year, and the so called free shuttle bus turns up if you are lucky.&lt;/b&gt;</description>

		<description>To Ling
In a way I would agree with you that the "without benefit" concept is preferable, but here is the question From where the social networks will make their money then ? No advertisers no money it is like shooting in your leg!
The graph shows clearly that the referrals from social networks is still in its infancy. It is easy to grow 98% YoY from 2 to 5%</description>

		<description>I'd like for some companies to understand the concept of social networking sites being used for social networking, as opposed to corporate self-promotion and/or as a sandbox to test out marketing strategies. You know, most of the people who are active on social networks have their own blogs and websites. Don't try to sell your products on the social networks. Develop relations with people on the networks so that they, in turn, willingly and without any benefit, start talking about your products and the company.</description>
