Commentary: Don’t delete Facebook, just get smarter
LONDON: One of the most popular posts this week on my Facebook page was how to delete your account, as the unfolding data scandal sparked fresh soul searching over digital privacy.But I will not be joining my friends in quitting the world’s biggest social network.If this small sample is representative, the #deletefacebook campaign will hurt.

I tried Amazon Prime Now, the company’s two-hour delivery service. I found it was full of surprising costs, and it took longer than two hours. Still, it’s massively convenient for some specific needs. Amazon Prime Now is getting all the attention these days. The service, which promises two-hour delivery for a wide variety of items from grocery to electronics, has been expanding rapidly across the country. Most recently, Amazon added Whole Foods to its list of Prime Now stores in four select cities, with plans to roll out to more cities throughout the year.
