Many users on TaskRabbit hire people to put together Ikea furniture...so Ikea just bought the entire platform! Dana Wollman, Executive Editor at Engadget, says that this deal makes sense, and she's surprised it didn't happen a long time ago. Ikea has been pushing to make better use of modern technology with the addition of self-driving cars in its fleet and a new 3D app. Plus, Wollman talks about Twitter's potential move to increase its character limit to 280 characters in order to bring in more of a mass market. She also discusses Twitter's disclosure to lawmakers that 200 accounts linked to Russia used the platform during last year's election.
