The initiative, which was was launched on February 19, is not the first ...

by Matthijs Roumen Google, hoe groot is dat nou eigenlijk? En wat doen ze nou ook alweer allemaal? Hungry Beast, een nieuwe tv programma in Australie, heeft het allemaal even netjes op een rijtje gezet. Wow. Mindblowing. En prima gevisualiseerd. Zelfs Google reageert er zelf op, op Google Systemblog. Hun response: ...

by Erwin Blom Rekeningen opmaken. Facturen versturen. In de gaten houden of ze betaald zijn. Gedoe gedoe gedoe. Moneybird is een Nederlandse startup die mij het leven een stuk simpeler en aangenamer maakt. Ze doen één ding, maar ze doen dat ene ding heel erg goed. Moneybird is de site waarop je eenvoudig factu...

by Seth Godin Old time factories had a linear layout, because there was just one steam engine driving one drive shaft. Every machine in the shop had to line up under the shaft (connected by a pulley) in order to get power.

They know where you sleep, and now they know where you get coffee.
That was the message driven home by the recently created website PleaseRobMe.com. The site aggregates Twitter posts sent when a person uses Foursquare to check in at a location -- meaning they're basically telling the world that ...

by Jeff Jarvis Here are my notes for my talk to the TEDxNYed gathering this past weekend. I used the opportunity of a TED event to question the TED format, especially in relation to education, where — as in media — we must move past the one-way lecture to collaboration.

by Alexander van Elsas Ars Technica has a post up in which they argue that ad blocking software seriously hurts their main revenue stream (advertisement). A quote from that post: My argument is simple: blocking ads can be devastating to the sites you love. I am not making an argument that blocking ads is a form of st...

by Seth Godin This is deceptive.
You don't rock all the time. No one does. No one is a rock star, superstar, world-changing artist all the time. In fact, it's a self-defeating goal. You can't do it.
No, but you might rock five minutes a day.
Five minutes to write a blog post that changes everything, or five minut...

by Erwin Blom Ik schreef het vorige week: mijn The Crowds-maat Idse de Pree is door een herseninfarct getroffen. Net als wij maakt hij zich zorgen. Hoe gaat het verder? Wat kan hij na revalidatie?

“Ripeness,” Shakespeare told us, “is all.” The Bard did not anticipate the realtime web. On the New Net, ripeness is nothing. Nowness is all, as David Gelernter tells us in his essay "Time to Start Taking the Web Seriously." Web 2.0 was supposed to bring us a creative outpouring of “social produc...
