Today Cisco announced a new way of working sustainably called "Connected and Sustainable Work", designed to provide cities, employers, and citizens with a new framework for fostering economic growth, increasing the quality of life, and addressing the challenges of climate change. The announcement, marked by the opening of the first Smart Work Centre (SWC) in Almere, Amsterdam, highlighted the second Connected Urban Development (CUD) Global Conference, hosted by Cisco and the City of Amsterdam. The first SWC is located in the neighbouring Amsterdam community of Almere and provides space to workers in individual or group work settings, using information and communications technologies (ICT) while at the same time improving lifestyle, productivity goals, entrepreneurial models, reducing travel costs and impacts overall carbon emissions.

interessant artikeltje over Twitter en de invloed van real-life friends in je netwerk.

In conclusion, even when using a very weak definition of "friend" (i.e., anyone who a user has directed a post to at least twice) we find that Twitter users have a very small number of friends compared to the number of followers and followees they declare. This implies the existence of two different networks: a very dense one made up of followers and followees, and a sparser and simpler network of actual friends. The latter proves to be a more influential network in driving Twitter usage since users with many actual friends tend to post more updates than users with few actual friends. On the other hand, users with many followers or followees post updates more infrequently than those with few followers or followees.
