Link: Facebook's local news project frustrated – by lack of local newspapers

The definition of not enough: The company deems a community unsuitable for Today In if it cannot find a single day in a month with at least five news items available to share. And: Some 1,800 newspapers have closed in the US over the last 15 years, according to the University of North Carolina. Newsroom employment has declined by 45% as the industry struggles with a broken business model partly caused by the success of companies on the internet – including Facebook.

Link: MOOvement: A track & trace system for cows

An IoT use case, for tracking cows, that actually helps out the business (in addition to the customers, the ranchers): Rabobank's network and financial support helped mOOvement enormously, says Van de Ven. The bank has also benefited from the product. Van de Ven: “Nowadays, you can use satellite images to determine the condition of the grass. Combining that data with precipitation patterns and the GPS data from the cows generates interesting insights for both the farmer and the bank, such as the cows' condition and what the ideal number of cattle is to graze on the land during a particular period.
