The Roadmap to 'Hadoop in the Cloud'

The Roadmap to ‘Hadoop in the Cloud’

By Martijn Linssen on May 28, 2014

The Twitter ball started rolling again just now. Matt Asay posed an interesting question about Forrester suggesting Hadoop isn’t a great fit for the cloud. (Even) without context Vijay Vijayasankar and I started firing off questions and answers which inevitable led to my promise of writing down the transition plan for it Here it is I’ll start bottom-up, from […]

Influence tools: the devil is in the details

Influence tools: the devil is in the details

By Martijn Linssen on September 9, 2013

For those of you who haven’t heard of Klout, let me give you a brief history: they started back in 2009 with a lot of marketing, a so-so product and non-existent service. They had two ways of handling criticism: either shower the critic in increased Klout score, or ignore him (or her). With criticism multiplying […]

54% of blog posts contain pure facts

54% of blog posts contain pure facts

By Martijn Linssen on December 5, 2012

A post by Dion Hinchcliffe on “social business maturity” made me laugh and cry at the same time. It’s one of those misleading semi-analytical semi-research posts that will be joyfully accepted by most people as solid truth. However, it ain’t. If it’s anything solid, it’s solid suggestimation. Why? The post smacks the reader in the face […]

On the insignificance of (Re)tweets to a post

On the insignificance of (Re)tweets to a post

By Martijn Linssen on December 4, 2012

In a discussion about blindly ReTweeting yesterday, I remembered that I once did a short analysis on auto-tweets. An auto-tweet is a schedule you set up against an RSS-feed or any other trigger, which tweets the URL with a title, some of the post itself, a fixed word or hashtag, etc. Some “thought-leaders” use it […]

Why TwentyFeet is Total Twash

Why TwentyFeet is Total Twash

By Martijn Linssen on December 3, 2012

Yet another Twitter analytic tool has made it into the spotlights: Twentyfeet
Like most if not all other tools that try to measure Twitter stats (Klout, Tweetlevel), it horribly fails. Apparently it’s too much work or money to actually measure all…

Google Drive breaks Google Docs?

Google Drive breaks Google Docs?

By Martijn Linssen on July 19, 2012

Starting yesterday, I’ve been receiving requests from people to share some of the content I have on Google Docs. Yesterday I also shared a link with a friend of mine, and he couldn’t access it. That puzzled me I checked the last link myself, signed out, and tried again – I got a log-on. What? […]

TIBCO Transform - it says it all

TIBCO Transform – it says it all

By Martijn Linssen on June 28, 2012

I attended TIBCO’s Transform event in London. Located at the Westminster Bridge Park Plaza hotel, around 600 people were there. Kicked off by Raj Verma, Senior VP of worldwide Marketing, a 2 hour session started that never bored for a minute. Very smoothly Raj led us through a full history of TIBCO, showing impressive figures […]

Pervasive's Integration World Europe 2012

Pervasive’s Integration World Europe 2012

By Martijn Linssen on January 31, 2012

I was at Integration World Europe 2012 today, organised by Pervasive at the Cumberland hotel in London. A nice environment and a party of a hundred plus, today’s topics were Big Data, Data Integration, Cloud and Strategic Business Solutions. Clear divisions were made on Cloud: IaaS, PaaS and SaaS, and public, private, community and hybrid […]

How Klout could make Twitter a better place

How Klout could make Twitter a better place

By Martijn Linssen on January 30, 2012

I’ve written my fair share of posts on Klout. 1.5 years ago I started off with a mild post called “Why I have doubt about @Klout” At the beginning of that I stated First of all, I highly appreciate the service – and I ended with 11 extra Klout points in 12 days on the […]

tibbr 3.5 turns the world into interactive post-its

tibbr 3.5 turns the world into interactive post-its

By Martijn Linssen on January 25, 2012

Tibbr released version 3.5 to the public today in Palo Alto California, 9 AM Pacific time. I got a solo preview yesterday and I was impressed by it – as usual I’d say. “In twelve months since launch, tibbr has been deployed to hundreds of thousands of employees across global enterprises, who can now use tibbr […]

The evangalyst: preaching to the converted

The evangalyst: preaching to the converted

By Martijn Linssen on January 18, 2012

There are definite signs of evolution in social media. Where I saw some issues around mainstream adoption over a year ago, I can now rest assured. Dozens of “priests and monks” have arisen all over the world to further aid the conversion towards social; Social Business now is the way to go and according to […]

Big Data needs Big Collection and Big Execution

By Martijn Linssen on December 4, 2011

Big Data is the new buzz it seems, and I must say I have been sceptic of it since I first saw the very word – or phrase, what is it? As an IT architect, I’ve always equaled data to databases, and information to applications – and knowledge to the people on top of these […]

Once bitten, twice shy? Klout scores get clouted again

Once bitten, twice shy? Klout scores get clouted again

By Martijn Linssen on November 10, 2011

Almost 1.5 years ago I showed how very, very flawed Klout’s actually is. I made some nice screenshots and illustrated how Klout’s scoring is statistically impossible, and how they magically manage to present you with two scores at the same time. Today, history repeats itself, proving that Klout is still just as immature a product […]

Why I'm using fake identities to sign up

Why I’m using fake identities to sign up

By Martijn Linssen on November 1, 2011

That is, from now on I will. It is not only getting harder to sign up, it is also getting harder to sign in, and out. Let me explain please as this story has a few sides to it. But first, let me make my point: I’m going to use fake identities to sign up […]

Open Source and Cloud, Mobile, Data: what goes where?

Open Source and Cloud, Mobile, Data: what goes where?

By Martijn Linssen on October 13, 2011

After an interesting question from Matt Asay I gave a few answers, then decided that Twitter’s not always suited for long conversations (ahem) I’m working on the theme for OSBC2012. I want to highlight the connection btwn cloud/mobile/data. Can someone help me express that? My first reaction was that these words are big, and could […]
