		<description><![CDATA[I just posted this comment on a colleague&#8217;s site: &#8220;The London Public Library has done a great job with their site &#8211; it&#8217;s current and definitely teen-focussed in look and content focus.

This results not only in blogs, wikis, websites, and social networking sites, but creative spin-offs, too. A mixture of tongue-in-cheek parodies and smart marketing exist, like the following: SecondLife is parodied by Geta(First)Life.  Bloggers with a dark sense of humour [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=shannonspeaks.wordpress.com&amp;blog=1077979&amp;post=41&amp;subd=shannonspeaks&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
