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 […]

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…

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 […]

[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 […]

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: […]

What drives IT failure? Ignorance and Greed

What drives IT failure? Ignorance and Greed

By Martijn Linssen on September 23, 2012

It was an interesting question Charles Storm posed the other day: was I saying that solutions are primarily driven by ignorance and greed? I wasn’t, but he made me think: Every solution is driven by need, or want, and some lack of knowledge. Every failure is caused by ignorance and greed Let’s see whether I […]

GoDaddy... Go... Gone

GoDaddy… Go… Gone

By Martijn Linssen on September 10, 2012

Today the Godaddy servers have been hit by a simple DDOS – a distributed denial of service involving a few dozen clients or servers that fire off hundreds or even thousands of requests a second at their servers. It’s a simple attack, and very effective. It’s like Arnold Schwarzenegger in Kindergarten Cop, standing in the […]

Twitter is NOT where the party is at

Twitter is NOT where the party is at

By Martijn Linssen on July 31, 2012

You couldn’t possible have missed the messy story around NBC and Twitter, resulting in suspension of Guy Adams’ Twitter account. Guy’s latest reaction on that is here, and contains the concise version. I do have to say that “which is widely listed online” is an exaggeration for sure, as it’s only to be found on […]

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 […]

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? […]

Need a mindset for adaptation? Team up

Need a mindset for adaptation? Team up

By Martijn Linssen on June 22, 2012

My latest post told my story of a week of hiking. In essence, it was a classical story of engaging a new venture, preparing for it as best as you can, being confronted with (utter) failure and adapt to the changed circumstances by listening to yourself, your peers, experts in the field – and then […]

Will adopting social tools leverage adaptation?

Will adopting social tools leverage adaptation?

By Martijn Linssen on June 19, 2012

After a week of hiking in Ireland (hence the picture), it’s hard to pick up blogging again. Thankfully, Michael Brito got me going and an interesting conversation, with an old theme, unfolded: RT @martijnlinssen: @Britopian I think the need to adapt rather than adopt is what stalls #socbiz. Takes a few times longer than usual […]
