The New York Times recently ran a story titled The Dwindling Power of a College Degree. This is news to me as someone not quite 30, but at one point, according to The Times, a college degree apparently provided a virtual lock on a well-paying job.
Anil Dash has an unmissable post titled: Facebook is gaslighting the web. We can fix it. Indeed, if this description of Facebook’s latest actions is accurate, it should be cause for concern among all web content producers.
