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 […]

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 […]

Read before you share – otherwise it’s gossip

By Martijn Linssen on November 19, 2012

A rubbish post by Business Insider titled “This Survey Is Devastating For Microsoft: 42% Of Windows Users Plan To Switch To Apple” and a very dubious post by the New York Times titled “The Tablet Market Grows Cluttered” drew my attention today – the latter claimed that About 98 percent of Web traffic from tablets comes […]

Big Brother? Sits right on your mobile

By Martijn Linssen on November 12, 2012

[The image above has nothing to do with this post, but it seemed to be fitting, given the latest developments. This post is all about trust] In this age of free(mium), it’s common knowledge that you pay with your privacy. Facebook is the best (or should I say worst) example of the dance around your […]

Big Data? No. Big Information as a Service

Big Data? No. Big Information as a Service

By Martijn Linssen on February 21, 2012

I’ve been going through the Gartner hypecycle these last few weeks, regarding Big Data. I’ve been through the Through of Disillusionment and back, and rocked back and forth a bit even, and I now figured out what’s been bugging me so much about it. It reminds me a bit of #E20… First, I didn’t think […]

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 initial KloutoCalypse: how big is it?

By Martijn Linssen on November 4, 2011

In my last post I showed how to remove your Klout profile from the public eye, without waiting for Klout to take 24-48 hours to do so. As I get impatient every now and then, I decided to take the first 500 tweets containing Klout and delete after I published it. I ignored all the […]

Completely drop your Klout account in 30 seconds

Completely drop your Klout account in 30 seconds

By Martijn Linssen on November 2, 2011

Well, the day has finally come. Since yesterday, Klout allows you to delete the profile they (or you) created on you. In my case, that means I’ll first have to sign up for klout, as they created my account all by themselves – but I’m happy to go through that little PITA Here’s how to […]

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 […]

B2B and Social – selling ice-cream in the desert?

By Martijn Linssen on October 12, 2011

Lately I see a lot of “news” on B2B from a place I wouldn’t expect: Social. In my opinion Social and B2B have absolutely no business with each other (see my freeBook on Social Business) Joshua Paul is my superhero of the day here, with an utter nonsense post titled 10 Secrets of the B2B […]

Another Infographic bites the dust

Another Infographic bites the dust

By Martijn Linssen on August 24, 2011

Mindflash produced another Infographic, subtitled “Are companies allowing employees to use social media in the workplace?” That title couldn’t be more misleading. Yet another time it’s proven that content and presentation hardly ever go along

It's The Information, Stupid

It’s The Information, Stupid

By Chris Yeh on August 23, 2011

Marc Andreessen (who is both richer and smarter than I’ll ever be) recently caused a stir with his Wall Street Journal op ed, “Why Software Is Eating The World.” Marc is a good writer, and it’s a good editorial that helps explain the increasing importance of software. But I can’t help but feel that he’s […]

By Martijn Linssen on July 20, 2011

I’m not a very vain man, if at all, but every now and then I Google for “martijn linssen” to see what comes up. I only check the first page, and see how the order is for the first five: those should contain this blog (number one), my Twitter account and my LinkedIn account. Currently […]

Comments make your code alive. Otherwise, it’s dead

By Martijn Linssen on June 27, 2011

I had a small discussion about code and comments with Bob MacNeal. Bob thinks that Commented out code is the same as a comment – Litter. Don’t litter. I strongly disagree, although we had a nice conversation. It turned out that @MartijnLinssen I’m an average coder at best, but I like clean code. I’ve made […]
