		<description>Well put.  Its all about the evolution of marketing.  Spend is shifting away from traditional forms of marketing (TV, newspapers. Magazines), creating a paradigm shift towards where the consumer now lives.  In order for your brand to be recognized they need to evolve with the notion of:&lt;br&gt;Build relationships, not campaigns&lt;br&gt;Create experiences, not impressions&lt;br&gt;Earn media, not buy it&lt;br&gt;Measure engagement, not eyeballs&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This is accomplished through Social media ;)</description>

		<description>I had never heard of the idea of Groupon before but it seems to make perfect sense. Newspaper readership rates have plummeted, therefore coupon retention rates are way down. Since social media has skyrocketed in popularity, it seems like the perfect time to create these Groupons where people can socialize about good deals. Great idea! Thanks for the post, Convertiv!</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Something every brand should take advantage of RT @Convertiv: As we alluded, #socialpooling will be huge &lt;a href=&quot;http://ow.ly/Uiyc&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://ow.ly/Uiyc&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>Thanks for the post - &quot;social pooling,&quot; never heard it before, but I like it!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A small correction - you don&#039;t actually need to login to see the deal.  But here&#039;s another aspect of the site to keep your number at four - our content is inherently social.  Restaurants, theater, cooking classes, etc... it&#039;s the type of stuff you do with friends, so people naturally share it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thanks again for writing!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Andrew (from Groupon)</description>
