 <title>clean slate</title>
 <link>http://beta.fastcompany.com/blog/quiet-certainty/clean-slate</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;starting again, one thing ends and there is always that point when there is nothing, a clean slate, space between, ..searching for the new project, direction, idea, much  like reading a wonderful book and reaching the last page, or the end of a good film,before the lights come up,  that moment of fullfillment, enjoyment of what has just ended.  Knowing that once I leave my theater seat, or close the book, it is finished, over.   I have aclean slate, need new focus,   beginning a new direction, and searching any positive ideas that will connect and grow into the next project.  As&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>What Are Your Thoughts in Regard to Consumer Research?</title>
 <link>http://beta.fastcompany.com/blog/joe-kiefer/what-are-your-thoughts-regard-consumer-research</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;I  am interested in knowing what people think about consumer research who are part of an innovation and design communities.  Please tell me a little about what you find that has worked for you  or has not worked for you in building relationships with consumer research companies.  Do you currently use research? Why or why not? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I ask these things as the owner of a consumer research firm that wants to reach out to more creatives and inovators.  This is not your parents research company if you know what I mean.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks!&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Are You Blind To Innovation?</title>
 <link>http://beta.fastcompany.com/blog/tony-mckenzie/are-you-blind-innovation/are-you-blind-innovation-0</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;One of the strange things about innovation is that it happens in plain sight, whilst most people are looking the other way. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After watching Seth Godin’s talk on TED I realised some of the most basic things that we now consider as every day essentials to modern life, started out as the innovative ideas that we at first..ignored!&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Bio and Interests: Lorena Manolica</title>
 <link>http://beta.fastcompany.com/profile-bio-and-interests/profile-bio-and-interests-lorena-manolica-gmail-com</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;I&#039;m a communications addict. Just kidding! But I do work in communications,&lt;br /&gt;
I have a keen interest in human psychology/people -- how they think, how they&lt;br /&gt;
make decisions, what&#039;s the dynamic between different social groups -- and I&lt;br /&gt;
made it a purpose (on a professional level) to help good &amp;amp; deserving brands&lt;br /&gt;
grow and find innovative ways to empower people to make the best decisions they&lt;br /&gt;
can. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have an entrepreneurial approach to life in general and to work in&lt;br /&gt;
particular. I guess that&#039;s why I&#039;m here, at FastCompany.com&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Thought Bubbles</title>
 <link>http://beta.fastcompany.com/blog/richard-watson/innovation-insights-ideas/thought-bubbles</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;There’s been a lot of talk about housing bubbles recently – allegedly caused by various low-cost financial innovations  - but I’d like to start a discussion about another kind of bubble that is currently rather boring. Bath bubbles have been around for years but where is the innovation? There isn’t any. Generally speaking they come in one size and one color (clear thru opaque) and frankly I’m rather bored of them.&lt;/p&gt;
