The initial KloutoCalypse: how big is it?

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 […]

Did Apple finally get hitched?

Did Apple finally get hitched?

By Martijn Linssen on October 25, 2011

[Image by Roberta F.] Thanks to Peter Hicks for inspiring me for this title Lately I’ve noticed quite a few complaints regarding the upgrade to Apple’s iOS5. A few examples of that: the upgrade itself failing to complete, having to restore factory settings and lose all apps and files, battery draining like mad, Twitter failing […]

The project versus product dilemma in Enterprise IT

By Martijn Linssen on October 9, 2011

I’ve often run into the project-product dilemma over the last decades: a company does business by supplying products and services, which -after it’s reached a certain size- can only be implemented with the help of IT. Over time, that “help” turns into “sole reliance on” Strangely enough, these IT-implementations are project-driven, and have increasingly become […]

Twitter stats redefined - now measuring true influence?

Twitter stats redefined – now measuring true influence?

By Martijn Linssen on September 1, 2011

I had a small revelation the other day while on Twitter and chatting with Alan Berkson. As you may or may not known, I’m a self-proclaimed statishist, meaning that I really get excited by statistics, or stats for short I did a few calculations on 20 Twitter people, taking their latest 1,000 followers, and looking […]

Enterprise Architecture: it's like measuring the coastline

Enterprise Architecture: it’s like measuring the coastline

By Martijn Linssen on August 1, 2011

I’ve made the mistake once again: underestimating an enterprise’s business and process flow while looking at it from a conceptual or logical point of view, before hitting what we call the physical layer. Call me an idiot please, yes you can.
Let me use a few metaphors and make this an easy one to understand. I’ll follow the model above.
My client sells candy. Red, green and blue.

The lifecycle and stages of a social network

The lifecycle and stages of a social network

By Martijn Linssen on July 8, 2011

Thanks to Scott Berkun for triggering me here, and of course this was related to Google+: @drmstream there is a blog post waiting to be written about the lifecycle/stages of a social network. There is. And this is one. I don’t believe in having to behave differently on social networks. I believe that we all […]

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

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 […]

Problem prevention knows no funding

Problem prevention knows no funding

By Martijn Linssen on June 13, 2011

A major topic on Twitter for me this week was that of problem prevention. We all know error handling, error solving, creating workarounds or solutions for them, but “A stitch in time saves nine” is a debatable issue in ICT Or is it? It all started with a tweet from Jamie Oswald: IT’s biggest problem […]

How often does your company plant get repotted?

How often does your company plant get repotted?

By Martijn Linssen on June 5, 2011

Yesterday, I was watching my wife repot a few plants. Actually, quite a few of them. What did she do? She took the plants out of their pots, and put them into bigger pots, adding fresh compost I watched that for a while, busy with with other things, and the thought came to mind: Wife […]

Too much Social Me-dia going on

Too much Social Me-dia going on

By Martijn Linssen on May 3, 2011

Hat tip to Sameer Patel for the tweet that led me to this: @lehawes Folks taking the Me in Social Me-dia too literally 🙂 I’ve noticed quite a bit of this lately. A few weeks ago, I unfollowed 20% of my follows because they either RT’ed themselves or their friends, and vice versa. Seeing a […]

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 […]

The Schmarketing MQ

By Martijn Linssen on April 7, 2011

With the above picture hardly legible on purpose, let me tell you a small story. Three months ago I was contacted by Derek Singleton with a question about a poll on his company site. I liked the company, liked the site, liked the poll, so wrote a small post about it This week, Hunter Richards […]

The emperor is dressed in fluffy Clouds

By Martijn Linssen on March 30, 2011

After reading too many tweets, tweetups, events, papers and products about Cloud Integration, I decided to rant blog on this phenomenon. In my very first post on this blog, How Cloud computing will drive Enterprise Integration, I talked about a similar thing, and fortunately that was May 2009 but now applications are appearing and it’s […]
