This is a topic a already mentioned before and what keeps me thinking for quite a long time now. I just had a discussion with a friend of mine who is not as much an internet nerd as I am, but who has experienced the same thing. And according to her it’s not only an online thing. And when thinking about, I’d say she’s right. But nevertheless I think online [...]

#tt – Truism Time? Pretty old saying, uh? So why did I choose this as headline here at my cool and funky (anyone who laughs right now…hm..go on..) blog? Well. Somehow, while being at re:publica 2010, I became unsatisfied with my blog. Not, as many may think, because of my layout (I still like the orange!) but because of my content. There are some good things and some bad things. [...]

Jaja. Da fängt er jetzt auch wieder an auf die Bahn einzuschlagen, mag der ein oder andere denken. Und ja, genau so ist das! Ganz klar muss man aber auch sagen, dass ich die vielen Male, die das Bahnfahren jetzt super geklappt hat, nicht erwähne. Warum? Weil man das ja von einem Service, für den man viel Geld bezahlt, erwarten kann. Oder? Aber keine Sorge, ich vergehe mich heute nicht [...]

The last day of re:publica 2010 started for me with a nice talk of Geert Lovink about Web 2.0 strategies. Was a little University lecture like, but nice examples of how to utilize the web 2.0. Afterwards I somehow happened to manage to see the last minutes of Götz W. Werner’s talk about basic income with some interesting points of view but also some quite unrealistic approaches. The best speech [...]

Day 2 is over, I’m even more tired. So once more short and simple. For more you gotta wait till I’m home again ;-) The day started Web 2.0 Kritik und Politik der Netzkultur. Wasn’t really that innovative and sounded a little bit like commercial for the institute Mr. Lovink is working for. Maybe I was just to tired to get it. Digital Natives with a cause. Scouting Study exploring [...]

Yo Folks! This is Berlin calling! Day one of one of the best known ‘social media conferences’ is over. re:publica 2010 started with an quite interesting programme. So here is a short recap – a more detailed one will follow after re:publica 2010 is finished. a german one will be posted on it-know-how.de when we’re back home. First presentation of the day was by Peter Glaser and was about the [...]

3 short and sweet breaking news for saturday morning: Twitter announced that it’s going to take over Atebit’s Tweetie. One of the best twitter clients (Tweetie for Mac, iPhone) so far and announced further that there might be an iPad version soon. And last but not least twitter announced that it’s gonna be free. So there will be a free official twitter.com twitter client. Guess that puts quite some pressure [...]

I guess it’s pretty obvious that we German are always against everything. It’s not only the case in holidays – but even in technical evolution. Right now it’s not Google who “we” are fighting, but the next big player in online business – facebook. Actually I’m quite tired to talk again about it since it’s in the media almost every day. So lets keep it short and simple: German government [...]

Since I am somehow disappointed by the service within the retail industry, let’s try it this way. I am looking for a new (or a good used) bike. A road bike. I was looking at quite a lot of sites (and big offline stores, but don’t talk about this one. they really suck in terms of service) and expected behavioral targeting to do the rest. But unfortunately it didn’t ;-) [...]
