		<title>Putting Radiohead through the blender</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Radiohead, being the canny cool cats that they are, are having fun releasing stems of tracks from their In Rainbows album, and encouraging people to remix them, and vote on their favourite remixes, the latest being the track &#8216;Reckoner&#8217;.
This track happens to be one of my least favourite, but the chance to mess around with [...]]]></description>

		<title>Finding harmony in a train seat</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week I went to see Radiohead play at Victoria Park, London, and travelled by train up from Cornwall. It&#8217;s been three years since I used this train, and the carriages have been renewed in the intervening period, replaced by what seem to be more comfortable, better thought out spaces.

Three and a half hours is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Radiohead can afford to give away their music</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You&#8217;ll see variations on this theme all over the internet. Radiohead have had the backing of a major label, have built up a considerable fan base as a consequence, and are leveraging this advantage when offering us the opportunity to name our own price when buying their new album. No one without this advantage could [...]]]></description>

		<title>Donationware is rubbish</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;re confident that your software does what it says on the tin, why not charge a proper price for it ? The fact that you&#8217;re practically giving away your work and expecting people to cough up of their own volition is a certain indicator that what you&#8217;ve produced is of little use.
This is the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Want google to buy your web2.0 app ?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This question is one of the first to crop up whenever I describe the pricing strategy for my simple web based task timer. Business people in particular are incredulous. Giving a service away for free is readily understandable, but trying to make money by encouraging users to pay whatever they like ? No, there must [...]]]></description>

		<title>Radiohead confirm software pricing strategy hunch</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We have finally decided on what we are going to charge for adderuppa. The subscription code is not quite finished, and so for now it remains free of charge, but as of some time in the new year, we will be charging &#8230;.
£2.50 per month flat rate. The user defines a higher rate if they [...]]]></description>

		<title>Applying the tipping principle to web applications</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some time ago I read an interesting article by Robert Woodhead about the principal of allowing people to judge how much they considered a service was worth to them. I read the article at a time when we were wrestling with how much to charge for our hosted task timer, and it semed to make [...]]]></description>
