With Facebook’s flaws in the spotlight, Mark Zuckerberg’s silence is deafening
In every TV studio where Facebooks powerful position is being debated, one chair remains empty. In every newspaper article, every blogpost and every Facebook thread that challenges the company, one participant is missing.
Where is Mark Zuckerberg? A man now more powerful than most state leaders.
When I wrote an open letter to Zuckerberg earlier this month, I had three objectives.
First and foremost, Aftenposten wanted to stop Facebooks censorship of the documentary photo The Terror of War. We did but our victory was only symbolic. It just made Facebook see what everybody else is seeing: this picture is a documentation of the horrors of war not nudity.
My second objective was to encourage debate on Facebooks ever more powerful role as the worlds most important distributor of news and content. We succeeded in this as well, and I am pleased to see that the debate was international.

LinkedIn wants to be fun
LinkedIn is one of the more popular sites on the Web the go-to place for job searches and professional connections.
But no one has fun using it.
Now the social network is making a big push to change that. The company, whoch said it was being acquired by Microsoft earlier this year, launched a wholesale redesign of its platform on Thursday. Brimming with buzzy social features like chatbots, hashtags, and breaking news notifications, its the companys latest attempt to become a place people visit every day.
Roughly 105 million people visit LinkedIn every month, compared to Twitters 313 million monthly active users and Facebooks massive 1.7 billion audience. Many LinkedIn visitors use the site to make a connection with other professionals, but they dont linger as they do on Facebook, getting absorbed in stories and news.

Peter LeMarc, Den tunna tråden
Den tunna tråden handlar om livet, en livskris, en hatad sjukdom som gör intrång och om vägen ut ur mörkret där du riskerar att förlora din livskamrat.
Det är ett så skrämmande och ett så påtagligt hot att allt annat blir förminskat, ointressant. Peter LeMarc beskriver det vackert, närvarande med texter som bara han kan. Det är ögonblicksbilder in i en kamp för att ta tillbaka det liv som kan ryckas ifrån dig på en sekund och ett andetag.
Det är också Lemarcs första skiva på flera år och en skiva med stråkar och en klang som skiljer sig från vi har hört från honom tidigare. Den 18 november kommer hela albumet.
