When Two Billion Dollar Industries Unexpectedly Meet: Ads for Fake Watches Pop Up on Facebook
The whole world uses Facebook, yet the social network still hasn’t found a way to properly monetize on that potential (or just hasn’t revealed these plans yet).

The Future of Our Communication
Even though I like to think of myself as fairly young and “with it” in terms of technological innovation, it is the generation after mine that will probably be driving technological change.
