		<description><![CDATA[Or, things not to do with your organization&#8217;s incursion into social media.

People find out that you&#8217;re not very interesting. Or even worse, people tend to make judgments based on the content appearing in your social media profile.
Bonus points: hashtag spam on selected high value keywords. Dear god. Please stop. Now.

It’s frightfully hard to write a blog without feeling that it must do something: even the most humble blogger is encouraged to create a unique selling point, target a ‘laser-focussed niche’, embrace social media, spawn viral content, track stats, and have a dedicated marketing drive; they must teach and inspire, build ‘authority’, start a ‘conversation’, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Every culture, it seems, has a seemingly inexhaustible storehouse of axioms, homilies and quotes &#8211; usually translated as &#8220;rural wisdom&#8221;. Some of these homilies are grounded in science &#8211; for example, boil cassava roots in an open pot (to allow the toxic cyanides to evaporate).

Experimental environment: reasonably modern (unfortunately coloured) car, four occupants. One occupant (namely, moi) can speak the native lingo. Everyone can speak English, albeit some with a strong accent. For reference, a couple of the occupants look unmistakably expat/foreign.
Duration: 1.5 days (essentially, a [...]]]></description>
