		<description><![CDATA[Review of chapter 1 from Getting Real by 37signals.
All too often startups fail long before they are ever funded. I believe, in many cases, this is largely due to fundamental beliefs that contradict the beautifully simple truths set forth in this chapter.

Is it possible to do such a thing in America? We live in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Introduction:
This book has a very compelling opening. It promises liberation from the shackles of endless top-down planning before a single line of code ever gets written.
Getting Real foregoes functional specs and other transitory documentation in favor of building real screens. A functional spec is make-believe, an illusion of agreement, while an actual web page is [...]]]></description>

Initially I was a little skeptical of the new FriendFeed UI. It immediately stands out as a Twitter clone and while that may work in favor of FriendFeed, it didn&#8217;t really excite me. I also didn&#8217;t like how they removed the source filtering option&#8230;I thought that was a solid feature.
After using the UI a few [...]]]></description>
