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 […]

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 […]

Innovation and inclusion - a matter of space and time

Innovation and inclusion – a matter of space and time

By Martijn Linssen on October 29, 2012

I am not sure anymore on relationship between innovation and inclusion . Need to think through it during the long flight to India tomorrow — Vijay Vijayasankar (@vijayasankarv) October 26, 2012 Vijay Vijasankar and Ethan Jewett dragged me into a conversation on innovation and inclusion. Well of course they didn’t, I butted in as usual […]

Android? Car mode? Speakerphone auto-on? Bluetooth volume fail? Micro-USB design-flaw!

Android? Car mode? Speakerphone auto-on? Bluetooth volume fail? Micro-USB design-flaw!

By Martijn Linssen on October 23, 2012

Are you -that is, your phone- suffering from the following symptoms? weeks or even months ago, “car mode” started to seemingly randomly get enabled ever since, that seemed to happen more often at some point, when you made or received a call, the speakerphone would sometimes be automatically turned on since a while, when you […]

I'm sorry, you're just not incompetent enough to get it

I’m sorry, you’re just not incompetent enough to get it

By Martijn Linssen on October 16, 2012

Olivier Blanchard made me do it. @martijnlinssen 😀 As far as I can tell, incompetence isn’t a driver of failure. It’s a driver of advancement. — Olivier Blanchard (@thebrandbuilder) October 16, 2012   And it is. Definition of advancement? Coming up soon. But this is the driver for most, if not all, of your life: […]

How and why common sense will beat REST

How and why common sense will beat REST

By Martijn Linssen on September 20, 2012

In my previous post I described how REST would replace SOAP. If you paid close attention you will have noticed that I actually didn’t say anything in favour of REST, but everything at the expense of SOAP. Because it indeed seems like REST will be the new SOAP – which is in contradiction with the […]

Google you are so sad, you drive me mad

Google you are so sad, you drive me mad

By Martijn Linssen on July 31, 2012

Google has tried a new trick to lure in people to their destined-to-die Social Network, aka Google+ Why the harsh words? Because I’m appalled by the method they choose. If you’re not getting enough attention for your product or service, you should try to make it more attractive (financially, operationally, which ever way) – not […]

No Custom Code, No Customization, No Requirements. And No Integration

No Custom Code, No Customization, No Requirements. And No Integration

By Martijn Linssen on June 8, 2012

The title comes from a conversation between Ron Tolido and me in which we perused the joys and challenges of SaaS. Ron has a very sharp mind and an even sharper tongue, although he somehow magically manages to give people the idea of adressing them in their comfort zone – I never said I was […]

Why management rocks, and leadership sucks

Why management rocks, and leadership sucks

By Martijn Linssen on April 24, 2012

[Image by _MG_5503] The past 24 hours I had a fierce conversation on leadership and management, and I love how just everyone joined in on Twitter; especially those that disagree with me because they teach me most in the shortest amount of time I started it with   Every one wants to be a leader, […]

Will SaaS kill ERP? No, but it should

Will SaaS kill ERP? No, but it should

By Martijn Linssen on February 21, 2012

It’s been a busy few days. First a post on ZDNet by Eric Lai invented a few problems for Cloud, or rather SaaS, and especially multi-tenancy: inflexible, less secure, less powerfull and maybe more costly – is what Eric claims multi-tenancy SaaS to be. Thomas Wailgum neatly nailed that via a counterpost, as did Frank […]

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 Law of the Handicap of a Headstart

The Law of the Handicap of a Headstart

By Martijn Linssen on December 22, 2011

In discussions about SAP’s new stealth weapon, HANA, I have come to become a wee weary. At SAP Inside Track NL we joked about it: @jonerp @dahowlett @ragtag @applebyj like we said at #sitNL “When lost for words, just end your sentence with HANA and you’ll be fine” What is HANA? In short, it uses […]

Migration 101 - follow the white rabbit

Migration 101 – follow the white rabbit

By Martijn Linssen on December 12, 2011

It seems that not every migration is welcomed by applause these days, reasons for which can usually be attributed to a definite lack of success. So, here’s a checklist that will help you achieve success. Of course the list is condensed and a lot of detail is left out, as it’s just a lot of […]

Twitter needs a radical change of security NOW

Twitter needs a radical change of security NOW

By Martijn Linssen on December 8, 2011

I wrote a post a while back titled Your Twitter security is an egg, not an onion, explaining how Twitter only has one front door, like your house, and if you let people in, you let them in – after which they have access to everything, including your Direct Messages. A few months after that, […]

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 […]
