"When developers get their hands on a social media platform, amazing things tend to happen. For example, Facebook transformed web apps when it launched the Facebook platform. The result has been everything from Facebook Connect to FarmVille. Twitter’s an even better example when you start thinking of the countless Twitter apps for mobile phones and the desktop. That magic is exactly what LinkedIn (LinkedIn) is hoping will happen with today’s launch of the LinkedIn Platform, which opens up outside applications to use LinkedIn’s data. Oh, and TweetDeck (TweetDeck) will be launching LinkedIn integration this week." - barbarars

"NEW YORK (Reuters Life!) - Audrey Hepburn once declared her look was "attainable" and an upcoming auction of some of the fashionable film star's wardrobe will make that possible. Some 35 dresses, gowns, separates and other items will be sold at a London auction on December 8 at the largest sale of clothing that belonged to the actress, who won an Oscar for her first starring role as a runaway princess in "Roman Holiday". Hepburn, who is also known for roles as divergent as cockney Eliza in "My Fair Lady" and a terrorized blind woman in "Wait Until Dark," had "a purity and an innocence and a vulnerability that made her especially attractive," said Kerry Taylor, the fashion auctioneer who is offering the collection." - barbarars from Bookmarklet
