		<description><![CDATA[With the growth of business opportunities in China, foreign companies have taken the plunge and jumped right into the China market - without always looking where they leap.

		<description><![CDATA[Let me begin by saying that I love Christmas. I am not particularly religious but I am attracted as a lot of people are by the sense of occasion, its opt-in seasonal faith, its proud, shameless indulgence and the opportunity it gives to pause and take stock at the end of the year.<a class="more_link" href="http://blog.communispace.com/enjoy/an-aussie-christmas/">MORE&#8230;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the best things about the American holiday of Thanksgiving (besides the plethora of food), is that it provides a great time for reflection. We are surrounded by the people that know us best and we have a little bit more time than usual to think about what we are grateful for. As I sat down for Thanksgiving dinner, I thought about the different personalities of the people in my family and what unique perspective and qualities they brought to the dinner table.<a class="more_link" href="http://blog.communispace.com/connect/what-brands-would-you-invite-to-dinner/">MORE&#8230;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You probably know when Saint Patrick’s Day is. Most likely, you have an idea of when Black History month is, too. But did you know that last month (Sept. 15 – Oct. 15) was Hispanic Heritage Month? If the answer is no, don’t worry – plenty of Hispanics didn’t know, either.<a class="more_link" href="http://blog.communispace.com/learn/marketing-language-and-hispanic-heritage-month/">MORE&#8230;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’m the first to admit that I have a texting problem. But it’s comforting to know that I’m not alone. According to the <a href="http://pewinternet.org/Reports/2011/Cell-Phone-Texting-2011/Main-Report/How-Americans-Use-Text-Messaging.aspx" target="_blank">Pew Research Center</a>, the typical texter sends or receives about 42 text messages per day, which is about 1,260 text messages per month. I wasn’t fully aware of my textual behavior until a recent visit with my not-so-cellphone-savvy grandmother. <a class="more_link" href="http://blog.communispace.com/connect/the-art-of-word-choice-in-our-digital-and-mobile-lives/">MORE&#8230;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Food Truck craze is taking the nation by storm, and doesn’t show any signs of decelerating. With this month’s premiere of the second season of <em>The Great Food Truck Race</em> on the Food Network, the mobile food trend is gaining even more momentum and fanfare. And while these sophisticated restaurants on wheels are exciting foodies and invigorating the restaurant industry, they are also interesting centers of conversation; tiny, ever-changing communities.<a class="more_link" href="http://blog.communispace.com/connect/food-trucks-real-world-community-building/">MORE&#8230;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you walked into your office in the morning and were presented with a choice, a free coffee concoction made fresh by local barista or a free lunch catered by the Mexican aficionados at Qdoba, what would you choose?

I found myself in this very discussion (argument) with my cube neighbor who, for now, will remain nameless. For some background, Communispace provides free lunch on Thursdays in the summer and a free barista on Mondays in the winter. <a class="more_link" href="http://blog.communispace.com/enjoy/qdoba-or-barista-that-is-the-question/">MORE&#8230;</a>]]></description>
