Orange has a big goal: making Facebook accessible on every phone in Africa, by using USSD (Unstructured Supplementary Service Data) - it allows you to transfer data through 2G networks.

In Monocle’s February issue there is a short material on how Kenyan farmers can keep in...

Liar, liar, pants on fire: how the language of lying is exposed in online dating profile. Liars experience a lot of cognitive load. They have a lot to think about. They less they write, the fewer untrue things they may have to remember and support later.

Sunday cocktail: Super Bowl and social media
‘Based on ever-increasing platform usage, consumers have told us that the size of our circles matter. And that’s why every star uses Twitter (and why the NFL has invested in a player’s application so they can own the content instead of Twitter). Since I don’t really have a favorite in today’s game, I’ll be watching to see if Twitter crashes.’
