A good heart was hard to find. However, true love, the lasting kind, is now about wrist action.

A mixed bag this week looking at a huge digital identity experiment in India. Plus take get an insider's view of how Jigsaw works in the field to combat global security threats.

Plus some links on how the meaningful content thing is working out for Marvellous Mark and the FB crew. It might seem a little snarky, that's why I balanced it out with Garfield.
