For a week now, give or take, I’ve been getting daily email updates from XYDO.com. If you don’t know what that is, it’s a site that many people tweeted and blogged was the successor of Digg.com. It may be, but I actually think Twitter and Facebook are and we are leaving the era of one [...]
Newsflash!… Last month, I’ve tried to relaunch Tech IT Easy, by writing on it several times a week. I love writing and, if I were getting paid enough for it, I’d do it all the time. But that is not the way the world works. When we started Tech IT Easy, most of us were [...]
For the record, I include Twitter, Facebook, and certain other Internet activity into my categorization of blogging, because they all share the characteristic that I wish to write about today. It should come as no one’s surprise that I spend a fair amount online, whether it’s this bog, Twitter, or Facebook. All-together, I’d say I [...]
So Penelope Trunk wrote a book. I previously wrote about her here. A commentator on one of blog-posts asks: Penelope, I read your blog regularly. Is there anything in your new book that I wouldn’t have already gotten from your blog? Either way, I’ll probably buy it… but I was just curious. Posted by Kelly [...]
I dig this album, else I wouldn’t review it, both in the context of riding the crap out my bike to make the train this morning, and while starting to write this post on SimpleNote at the station (In English: it works in a sports & and a creative context). There’s a lot of loops [...]
I finished my last post on the stance that, realistically, all enterprises today are partially networked and they should be. The question for a company is always to what extent they should ‘externalise’ the processes of their company and to what extent they should ‘internalise’ them. There certainly is a mix of fear, greed, and [...]
I’ve been on the road recently with very spotty wifi access and that’s when Twitter really breaks down. You’re left without context because most tweets aren’t self-standing but a link to a URL shortener giving no idea what’s going on. If you’re not knee deep in the “social”, Twitter seems like a mish-mash of ideas [...]
Seems like Facebook is teh new evil. The new Microsoft of the nerd epic. The biblical mark of the beast, the Windows-logo, has been replaced by Facebook’s like-button on a website. But seriously. Facebook’s grab of their users is getting quite out of hand. Exposing more and more of stuff that could be argued to [...]
Be it Automobile , Aviation or Heavy Metal Industries, everyone felt the heat of recession but regardless IT fared better than most. In spite of worst economic meltdowns in history, acquisitions among big vendors continued to reshape the market, operating-system wars extended to mobile battlefields, microblogging became a powerful source of real-time information, and the take-up [...]
Unlike other Mondays’ reputation, March 17th was a bright one in London. …Post-reporting from the “Creative Business in the Digital Era” seminar, in 01zero-one centre in Soho. The idea in the CBDE was to bring together people from different walks of the creative industry (music, cinema, publishing, photography…) whose common point is the zeros and [...]
Trying to digest a cheesy crust pizza this noon, I was wondering if instead of a pizza I was carrying a baby. The good thing was that there would be two of us going back to work, even if the one was rather unqualified to give me hand. What a delight for my pizzababy to [...]
