Two Current TV Journalists Sentenced to 12 Years in North Korean Labor Camp
About two months ago, we reported that two Current TV journalists, Laura Link and Euna Lee had been detained in North Korea on March 17. Today, we received the sad news that North Korea's Central Court found both reporters guilty of "a grave crime against the nation" and illegally crossing the border into North Korea. Link and Lee have been sentenced to 12 years in a labor camp. This sentence, of course, comes at a time when US-North Korean relations are already tense. The U.S. government says that it is 'deeply concerned' about this verdict.

When Will Facebook Be Ready for Business?
For awhile we've been pushing the idea of Facebook evolving to support business social networking alongside the "social" social networking. But in order for that to work, the site needs to find a way to shed its image as a beacon of college hooliganism -- Facebook is a place to post party pictures, not product pitches. But even so, the appeal of leveraging Facebook's social graph for business is too good to pass up. As we've noted in the past, there are already huge business networks on Facebook -- 30,000 Microsoft employees, 8,500 Googlers, etc. Those relationships are ripe for exploiting for business networking, but there is a prevailing feeling that that's not what Facebook is for.
