A night quickie for the weekend (pretty late already over here in Thailand): Google just launched a new and fun search service: What do you love? It is not totally perfect (as you will see in the short video) but quite a nice idea though. Give it a try and spread the love! After entering the thing or person (this is where it lacks a little. Shows quite some funny [...]

Actually I stopped blogging about recent hypes and stuff that is cool just at the very moment since I think there are many platforms out there that cover all the new fancy things, there is no need for my humble little opinion (or to say it like a friend of mine “there are enough smart asses out there, sometimes you need to keep yours in”. Nevertheless I decided to let [...]

Currently I can see a lot of discussions about paid content going on in my timeline. Actually I thought this is quite an odd discussion (started years ago, stilborn child due to publisher’s attitudes). But somehow I started to think about it again and eventually started kind of a paid content site myself. It is not about paid or non-paid – it is about the value Most of the current [...]

A stream. The Stream! What is the Stream by AlJazeera? The Stream is a social media community with its own daily television programme created by the English Channel of Al Jazeera.

One of the many phrases I hear when I talk with people about my profession (well, if they somehow know what “online marketing” is about and not simply say “so you hang out in the internet all day…”) is “So then…why do you not hang out on some island and make a fortune via affiliate marketing?”. There are always two answers that come up. First the obvious one: It is [...]

While I was working on my latest site and checking it in different browsers I just thought it would be quite interesting to see what browsers made it into my top 5 and what you guys usually use. So this is my Browser High 5….(nice!). So when I look down in my dock, I see 5 browsers hanging out there. Three all the time, two temporarily. 1. Firefox Especially since [...]

So you are reading a post called “why blogging stinks”. This means either way you are a blogger and you think I suck or you think about blogging and want to know the PROs and CONs. Regarding my headline you can imagine what my outcome might be…but let’s back up and start from the beginning. PROs of blogging When looking at blogging from a business side it has different aspects.

You’ve got a lot of interests? You’re into music, social media, sports, travel and even more stuff like that?  Besides that you are a passionate blogger and want to spread the word about your achievements and experiences? Good! Do it! But hey….how? Do you talk about basically everything in your only presence? One blog for all topics? Or do you spread everything up? Different blogs for different topics.

When there is a crisis people, governments, organisations, companies and even technical inventions show their real potential. Or their bad face. Right now we face another disastrous tragedy with the people in Japan suffering from a devastating 8.9 magnitude earthquake and a terrible tsunami that not only killed people immediatly but also is responsible for critical problems at the Fukushima nuclear power plant. The radioactive pollution could even reach Tokyo [...]

After starting quite a new life the last months I came across a lot of new connections, colleagues & friends. When being new to a job, neighbourhood or – like in my case – a country, it is quite logical that one tries to fit in or, at least, that one tries to make a good impression. This is when I came across an old problem, that I already wanted [...]

Right now there are a lot clickjacking projects showing up on facebook. People try to steel clicks from you and your friends. In this case those are “like” clicks. And it appears that it is easier than ever to hijack “likes”. Clickjacking is for social media what spam was (or still is) for emails. But while almost everybody has a spamfilter (thx to the hosting companies – I bet most [...]

Since I am running towards the 30 (years of age) and I am expecting my early midlife crisis to set in soon I thought I might take a look back on my personal technology highlights that I have seen come and go.
