There’s talk on the web about “thought leadership” (I prefer the term “thought inspiration”), so I felt like writing something about what sources, podcasts this time, inspire thinking with me. An obvious example would be TED, which I think most of us know, but today I’ll list a few that I listen to regularly, which [...]

Understanding "Free!"
Posted on January 7, 2009, 23:25, by Vincent van Wylick.
I’m sitting in the train, reflecting on the concept of “Free!”, having just listened to a podcast from the London School of Economics on the diminishing role of European citizenship—a British university, a very dry topic, my thoughts naturally drifted elsewhere. I’ve also been thinking about the dwindling state of print-media and the onslaught of [...]

Business planning for success—reducing assumptions
Posted on October 31, 2008, 11:57, by Vincent van Wylick.
Note: this post was written a few weeks ago, I just forgot to publish it. Credit crisis, schmedit smeisis, I decided to just not care about it. Life is hard, it may have become harder, but that doesn’t meant that we shouldn’t just get on with it (a little harder) too. One of the issues [...]

Yeah, I’m late and haven’t blogged on TechEd in Barcelona & Study Trip To Silicon Valley – but I will. By the way, who said you can only have real fun working in a startup in Silicon Valley? About a year ago, I went to a lecture on entrepreneurship at Ecole Centrale Paris with, amongst others, the [...]

Thanks to Emmanuel, also a blogger on Tech IT Easy, for pointing this video to me. Have you ever tried to recall how the world went round before we had cell phones, laser printers, wireless and unlimited bandwidth at a fixed subscription price? Well if not, then this video might prove enlightening..& funny (I had AOL, [...]

A not-so-interesting, but worth watching once, buzz marketing video for SalesForce’s AppExchange platform & Force framework. You could basically leave content as it is and replace SalesForce – AppExchange – Force by: Microsoft + CRM 4.0 ‘Titan’ + .NET; Facebook + Facebook API; Twitter + Twitter API; Google + GWT; Adobe + Flash + Flex; etc. [...]

Hey Rupert, what’s your name? Rupert. Right. Can you tell us more about you? As part of the Ziki team I am working as community manager for the English speaking web. My main task is to make Ziki’s innovative features known by the biggest number of people possible and we think that there are still [...]

This is an ironic topic to write about for me, as at uni, I’ve avoided Human Resource courses like the plague. As a matter of fact, I never got along with a single HR-manager that interviewed me. They seem focussed on placing me in a box, while I am focussed on not fitting in one. [...]

In response to Ouriel who claims he found the best jazz piano – voice extract ever, here’s Tuck & Patti (I saw them live in Paris @ Vincennes floral park in 2006, and they’re just amazing) performing a jazzy medley of bluesy Jimmy Hendrix’s Castle Made of Sand and Little Wing. This is probably the [...]

Gosh, that girl is serious about dancing. PS: yes, I know, another post tightly linked with technology. You know, I could have elaborated on buzz marketing or video on demand. You’re lucky. Like Unlike

I have become a de facto source for information (still a modest one, but better a little something than a virtual black hole) I have become a de facto destination for information – receiving between 1 and 10 private emails every day through this blog. Half of them usually are PR product introductions for me [...]
