Now testing: “Read More” breaks
Inserting a break will truncate your post so readers need to click “Read More” to view it in its entirety.
Any of us who used LiveJournal know this as <lj-cut>, and that’s fine: I didn’t really use it then, and probably won’t use it now. But, while Tumblr’s at it, it’d be great to get <lj user> (link to other...

Bullshit. Marketing is important. Even the best products need to be marketed. Google had marketing and PR departments. Say what you will about About.com, but it was a great business and it was...

Mason started out the night by talking about the history of Vita’s green coffee bean buying program, and their current focus on Farm-Direct. It was really...
