We get to find people, friends, colleagues, classmates, or just people we find fascinating, and add them to &#8220;circles.&#8221; How fun is that?

		<description><![CDATA[First, an introduction. Maria Rainier, a fellow blogger and writer, recently offered to write a guest post here on Crayon Writer. Having looked at some of her other work, I easily accepted. Maria chose the topic to write about, and I didn&#8217;t edit her work in any way (it was wonderful &#8220;as is.&#8221;) So take [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[According to Facebook&#8217;s press room, Facebook is a superpower. Well, I&#8217;m paraphrasing, but that just about sums it up. Active users number over 500 million, the average user has 130 &#8220;friends,&#8221; more than 700 billion minutes are spent on Facebook (each month!), and users share more than 30 billion pieces of content with their friends.

		<title>A child&#8217;s first laptop</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Photo credit: Anissa Thompson My daughter loves computers. It&#8217;s no wonder, since I spend a fair amount of time blogging, taking online classes, emailing, working, and researching. But I have to confess that I&#8217;m a bit stingy with my computer. She wants to play PBSKids.org games, or she wants to &#8220;type&#8221; on Word. I&#8217;m not [...]]]></description>
