Let me tell you a story about how I joined Twitter.
I didn't join it at all.
In 2008, someone created a fake profile for me, photo and all, and started tweeting out my blog posts! People were replying to me and everything.

Facebook is rolling out a series of changes to give people better control of their privacy settings and data.
The company's redesigned security settings let people control what personal information the social network and third-party apps keeps. Facebook used to display security tools and settings across 20 different tabs. "Last week showed how much more work we need to do to enforce our policies and help people understand how Facebook works and the choices they have over their data," Facebook wrote in a blog post.

For years, people didn't mind handing their personal information over to social networks so they could chat with friends or take fun quizzes. That's changing in the wake of Facebook's Cambridge Analytica scandal.

Subscription publishers are targeting people between 18 and 24 years old, adapting content, tone, marketing and accessibility of their products to that audience to foster the habit of subscribing.
Before The Telegraph launched its premium product in 2016, when it put 20 percent of its content behind a paywall, it targeted an audience over 35. Now, the publisher said the fastest-growing subscriber segment is between 18 and 34 years old.

Late last year, a journalist started an experiment to see if people would pay for ad-free news.
Ryan Nakashima, a technology reporter for the Associated Press, started working with the Bay Area News Group after getting a $13,000 grant from the Jim Bettinger News Innovation Fund. In January, he shared early findings about what it would cost to replace digital ads.

Startups possess great potential to improve journalism. In theory, they can be the sites where new products, novel revenue streams and altered ways of organizing are discovered, tested and accelerated. However, the situation in Europe seems to be complicated. In comparison to the United States, there is a distinct lack of new venture success stories.
Why is it so unlikely that the next big innovation in journalism will come from Europe?

Recently I received a letter from an acquaintance in which he said, "By the way, I've been following and enjoying your work. It's getting better: deeper and sicker."
Because the letter was handwritten, I convinced myself, for a portion of the day, that perhaps the last word was richer. But then I picked up the letter and looked at the word again: there was the s, there was the k. There was no denying it.

Universities don't like change. But as the breakneck pace of technology speeds up the modern economy, these ancient institutions are starting to break the rules.
To adapt to the needs of future workers, some colleges are moving their courses online; others are doubling down on artificial intelligence.

The link between plants and home value is far from an anecdotal one. Horticulturists, economists and industry professionals of every stripe have spent years evaluating the impact gardening and landscaping projects tend to have on home value.
Dr. Charlie Hall, Ellison Chair in International Floriculture with Texas A&M University's Department of Horticultural Sciences, has been involved in several academic studies on the topic and says the data suggest that greenery has a reliable, direct and positive impact on home value.

A Recommended Daily Allowance for gardening has been developed by English TV gardener David Domoney and retailer Argos. Inspired by the U.K. government's five-a-day guidelines for eating fruit and vegetables, David and Argos have set the RDA for gardening for 30 minutes a day to boost physical and mental health.
This comes after new research reveals the average green-fingered Brit can burn 632 more calories compared to non-gardeners per month.
