		<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Free Crap&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I&#8217;m honored to be included in The Silicon Valley 100, a group of influentials formed by Auren Hoffman that gets free crap. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;COMMENT:
AUTHOR: Joi Ito&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;om, you make some good points, but &#8220;I am going to selectively monitor and remove the feeds of some of bloggers-among-the-Schwag-set&#8221;&#8230;? Are you serious? &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;COMMENT:
AUTHOR: Om Malik&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Well maybe not you Joi or Ross, because I have a certain amount of trust in your stuff. but there is a lot of people who i don&#8217;t know, and only trust what they write, and if i am wondering about what they are saying is not result of some schwag, well then why not be on guard&#8230; it is after all a &#8220;relationship&#8221; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;COMMENT:
AUTHOR: Nouveau - Interesting New Stuff&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Er&#8230; sorry fella, but a bidet is *not* a shitter. Shitting in your bidet is a bit like shitting in your sink. &lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ballin&#8217; Bay Bloggers to be Beset with Bling&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The ghost of Malcolm Gladwell has come to haunt Silicon Valley tastemakers. You know those schwag-bags you&#8217;re always hearing about on Defamer? It&#8217;s all part of massaging the &#8216;Connectors,&#8217; the folks of style and influence who supposedly have more to&#8230; &lt;/p&gt;
