		<description>My name is Dr. Guy.  I am currently conducting a qualitative research study which looks at the effects of healthier coffee.  I am looking for individuals to volunteer to drink free healthier coffee for three days.  Along with dinking only the healthier coffee individuals are asked to journal daily about how the healthier coffee, taste and how it makes them feel.  I would like to know if you would be interested in participating in the study or if you know of anyone who might be interested in participating I welcome all referrals. I look forward to talking to you soon.  I can be reached at 800-601-9519</description>

		<description>Snoz,

I don&#039;t listen to any podcast but there are blogs I follow.  I have a lot on my reader by only a handful update with uniqueg content and that&#039;s what I am looking for.  Kiril has caught my eye recently for great insight and Snoz does have an occasional outburst of revelation in between the Hoffman fan boy posts ;-)</description>

		<description>i never listened to the podcast. tried, but never succeeded. i believe nick has expressed his frustration in a number of scenarios, to a number of people (including me). 

freshness. i agree. it&#039;s there. it just needs to be &lt;i&gt;harnessed&lt;/i&gt;.</description>

		<description>don&#039;t ask nick cho about this. the ability of no-names (like me!) and regular baristi to generate a very public profile and even parlay such a profile into a better job or an outsized ability to affect the coffee conversation seems to rankle quite a few people in the third wave.

which makes sense. but then, it&#039;s like the price for esmeralda or the $21,000 prize for winning a latte art competition. any time a movement is democratized (i.e. internet-dependent), it&#039;s gonna be messy and unfair. all in all, i appreciate the proliferating number of blogs. it forces anyone doing it to stand out -- with freshness, originality, drop-dead photos, etc.</description>

		<description>Jim hi,
I had been reading your blog for long. I had always wanted to comment, but I could not muster up enough courage as I considered myself more of a dilettante and less of an enthusiast. 
However, with the time and the constant hopping on to the various blogs which are on the blog rolls of most of the bloggers, I have learnt a lot , and today&#039;s post is the apt one for me to  comment. Therefore I am a strong votary of the digital medium, which has been constantly guiding me into the right direction, as I am pursuing to open a specialty cafe, as otherwise we do not have any wave of the coffee.
 Though we have close to one and a half thousand cafes ,modeled on the lines of Starbucks , dishing out coffee pretty much similar to Starbucks, but nonetheless educating the crowd about coffee, yet we still do not have a coffee culture. In spite of India being the sixth largest producer , we probably have just one micro roasting unit. If it would not have been blogs like yours and the fantastic forums, it would have been difficult to source the knowledge.
I feel privileged to have the access to this medium .
Cheers</description>
