As the world gets more demanding, we're demanding more flexibility from our spaces and services. That's why we're talking about The We Company this week, as they file for an IPO, and look forward to the continuing growth of the Space as a Service model. We also look at how WeWork is or is not influencing smaller markets like Lexington.

This week, Mark Zuckerberg announced what seems to be sweeping changes to Facebook's view of privacy and its ultimate goal to become a privacy centric product and company. Days later, two high profile executives left the company. We look back at last year's discussion on Facebook executives' exits and update the conversation with the even further examples from this week.
