		<title>If they&#8217;re doing it why not you?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I stumbled across this fascinating piece of research:
The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth Center for Marketing Research recently released a longitudinal study examining Inc. 500 social media usage. The key result is in early 2008 77% of the companies surveyed were using online social media.  This is is up from 57% in 2007.
The data was drawn [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "If they&#8217;re doing it why not you?", url: "http://www.accmanpro.com/2008/07/24/if-theyre-doing-it-why-not-you/" });</script>]]></description>

We experienced shipping delays as [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "What really happened at Levis?", url: "http://www.accmanpro.com/2008/07/22/what-really-happened-at-levis/" });</script>]]></description>

		<title>Comment moderation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have no idea why but Akismet has not been as good at catching comment spam and undesirable trackbacks etc as it usually is on my site. As I am taking a break (this week) but have a couple of posts in the hopper, I&#8217;m turning comment moderation on.

		<title>UBS admits fraud but what about controls?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week, UBS America finally confessed that it had perpetrated a series of tax frauds which affects 19,000 US taxpayers. Richard Murphy questions whether this is the tip of the iceberg. He is right to do so. I was more interested in the controls aspect:
