As expected, the magazine featuring a nude Kim Kardashian photographed full-frontal by artist Barbara Kruger made waves - and it still does. Despite how fast things like these sell, there's always a story behind what first meets the eye. Since Stefano Tonchi took over "W" as editor in... Read More >

The ability to support so many types of conversation streams without having to invest a deep personal relationship with the service itself is the prime trait that Twitter has harnessed. And that could lead some of us in some very hot water. The fluidity of a service like Twitter creates a grey area which can be left to interpretation, by pundits, social media experts, journalists and individual users. Lawyers and judges, however, may soon get in on this debate. The legal issues that can arise from a... Read More >
