Big Twother is watching you

Big Twother is watching you

By Martijn Linssen on April 10, 2011

…so said Tamsen McMahon on April 7th. Funny as it is, there’s a typo in the tweet – did or can you spot it? I did, and couldn’t resist: It’s “its” and not “it’s” > RT @tamadear: (…) your impression of a company and it’s representatives. To wit, typos on presentation slides. Caught in the […]

From product to service: stealing first base?

From product to service: stealing first base?

By Martijn Linssen on March 29, 2011

The other day I read a post about how someone in a poor country is making a living by taking his washing machine across town (rather: slum) and selling it “by the wash”, thus turning a product into a service. The rationale in this specific case is cheap washing machines from abroad pushing existing ones […]

The secret to success for Social Media? It's 1.0

The secret to success for Social Media? It’s 1.0

By Martijn Linssen on March 26, 2011

In the Search for Social as I call it, people have been mesmerising, stating and claiming success for the Social Movement in various ways. Email has been condemned to death as that wouldn’t be fit for the Brave New World, Facebook has been proclaimed the best way to interact with your users or customers, Twitter […]

InMaps - a priceless gem

InMaps – a priceless gem

By Martijn Linssen on January 28, 2011

LinkedIn released InMaps this week, a very nice visualisation method that divides your linkedIn network in companies, networks, groups, etcetera. I think it’s fantastic. I try to keep a moderate network on LinkedIn as well, and it’s depicted above. My Capgemini network is up there, ex-Capgemini people, my University friends, my Highschool alumni, my LinkedIn […]

Twitter punctuation manners

By Martijn Linssen on January 22, 2011

A small post about punctuation – in my general writing, and tweets If you haven’t noticed, I leave out a period at the end of every paragraph – on this blog, when I comment here and there, in emails – period (pun intended) I think the following whitespace makes it perfectly clear that a paragraph […]

Ask not what your company can do for you, ...?

Ask not what your company can do for you, …?

By Martijn Linssen on January 21, 2011

John F Kennedy to me was one of the finest presidents of the US. Shot and killed before I was even born, but still. During his inaugural address on January 20th 1961, one of his now famous quotes was: “Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for […]

The To Tweet Or ReTweet Flowchart

By Martijn Linssen on January 13, 2011

A few posts ago I blogged about behaving differently on Twitter or not. One thing lead to the other, and there was a small comment-conversation about ReTweeting. So, inspired by Innes Fisher, here’s a small scheme. At the very bottom, there is “the ass-option”. Almost none of you will ever end up there, but I […]

Do we need to behave differently on Twitter?

Do we need to behave differently on Twitter?

By Martijn Linssen on January 11, 2011

A tweet by Bertrand Duperrin started this post: @ITSinsider @thecr our decision to RT or not should not be made on agreement but on value for our followers. That was an answer to Susan Scrupski’s opinion on what she deems fit to RT: @TheCR I only RT the tweets of members I think provide great […]

A record store - who needs one these days?

A record store – who needs one these days?

By Martijn Linssen on January 7, 2011

This morning I read in the newspapers – wait what am I saying? In the old-fashioned newspaper I actually encountered news, yes. Well it wasn’t global news of course, but national, and pertained to music. Anyway, it was news – that’s a first since a year or so. A celebrated Dutch performer, Trijntje Oosterhuis, announced […]

The real cause of Global Warming: the Vatican

The real cause of Global Warming: the Vatican

By Martijn Linssen on December 23, 2010

After a short Twitter conversation with the -usually- formidable, cheeky and clever Ben Kunz, I started to read some of the links he sent me, looking for references, sources, and anything else that could tell me more about the origin of data I am not a gullible person. I have been an IT consultant since […]
