Their owners will.   Whistle's main product is a doggy version of Nike Fuel or Fitbit - a small device that attaches to a dog's collar and tracks the dog's activity and health.  The broader category is called the quantified self, or in this case the quantified dog.

I have separate lists for friends, family, clients etc. And one of my favourite lists is to group my Page Likes together – so I have a list for business pages and a separate list for personal pages.

So, prompted by an invite to a public Facebook event, I temporarily de-activated my account and just concluded an entire week away from it. The stated purpose of the event was not to judge the quality of time or reason for being on Facebook, rather to see what happens when we step away for awhile.

  Today Facebook released their Craigslist competitor, called Marketplace. Like Craigslist, Facebook does not facilitate the payment or delivery of items listed or sold in Marketplace. Facebook's Messenger product recently acquired the ability to process payments natively, so expect this feature to be incorporated into Marketplace likely fairly soon. Facebook first launched a Marketplace type product in 2007, but it wasn't successful.
