		<title>The Value of Free</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was at D7 the other week and spent a fair amount of time discussing the &#8220;value of free&#8221; with attendees.  The juxtaposition of traditional media and consumer Internet hinges on this concept so I thought I would explain a bit about what I am referring to.  At the risk of oversimplifying here, a vast [...]]]></description>
