      <title>Life boring?  You just need a producer!</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;
Think of this way… what if “American Idol” had been produced solely by the capabilities of the contestants themselves, without the expertise and talent of the show’s producers, directors, writers, etc. As talented and entertaining as the contestants are, the resulting production quality, the level of emotional engagement, viewership/ratings and monetization potential of the full package would likely be far inferior to what we all see on the air today. Well, social networks should be seen in a similar way… people want to express themselves and the platforms that allow them to do so with the most creativity and production value, are the ones that people will flock to.&amp;#8221; 
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;from over here at &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:monospace;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://gigaom.com/2006/05/29/social-networks-are-the-new-media/"&gt;http://gigaom.com/2006/05/29/social-networks-are-the-new-media/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:monospace;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;I&amp;#8217;d love to see an &amp;#8220;interesting&amp;#8221; makeover (God, I just know they must already have a TV show about this somewhere, I just don&amp;#8217;t have a TV so I&amp;#8217;m out of the loop).
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
I think you can teach people a lot about being interesting.  
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
1) Conversation &amp;#8211; How to pay attention to whether people are still listening.  How to make things a bit more grandiose without going over the top.  Friendly flirting.
&lt;br /&gt;2) Your routine &amp;#38; breaking out of it!
&lt;br /&gt;3) The importance of inspiration, and inspiration&amp;#8217;s dependency on creativity.
&lt;br /&gt;4) Spunk exercises &amp;#8211; how to get excited about life.  You&amp;#8217;ve got the energy somewhere inside of you!
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
Sign up for our exclusive class and discover the &amp;#8216;you&amp;#8217;, you&amp;#8217;ve always wanted to know.  Brainwashing and after-therapy not included.  And yes, I&amp;#8217;m serious I think people could use more excitingness, but no there&amp;#8217;s no class &amp;#8211; sorry! :)
&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>fucking mods around here.
I banned recently for a practice that I've done for years and no one said a damn thing until recently. and because of symitar i got banned for it ...and that asking for trades thru IM's and the cb. when are the mods going realise the promotions setup here at this site do NOT work!
less than 10% of this site even uses them and for the most part ignores tham.
how in the hell can one get feedback for their work without getting to people here and making first contact!
can anyone answer this fucking question?
we have 250,000 members here and I'll bet less than 5% of the people here even know each other</description>
