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, […]

Klout 'o Calypse: 2.5 million people can't be wrong

Klout ‘o Calypse: 2.5 million people can’t be wrong

By Martijn Linssen on December 5, 2011

I wrote an initial post on people killing their Klout on the very same day that Klout enabled them to do so. I took tweets as a basis for my testset, and it appeared that 20% of (the 300) people tweeting about being able to delete your Klout profile, also had actually done so. Two […]

Flout.me is fun, but should be flogged and reported

Flout.me is fun, but should be flogged and reported

By Martijn Linssen on November 25, 2011

I did what I guess most of you did when you saw the first entry of flout.me in your Twitter timeline: frown. Then I saw another one. And another one. And smiled. I clicked the URL, authorised the app, then laughed out loud Looks familiar? Well, there’s more to it than that: Flout is a […]

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 […]

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 […]

Open Source and Cloud, Mobile, Data: what goes where?

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 […]

Klout's True Reach? Simply your follower count

Klout’s True Reach? Simply your follower count

By Martijn Linssen on September 2, 2011

In yesterday’s post I busied myself with new ways of looking at Twitter statistics. Today I was suggested to compare them to Klout scores. I did, and I found out that their True Reach – that vast, impressive number that you probably look up to – is nothing more than a simple mathematical equation Klout […]

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

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 […]

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 […]

The apprentice- master model

By Martijn Linssen on May 5, 2011

Jon Reed made the following statement on Twitter: Marin accused Deloitte of using project as “a trial-and-error training ground” for junior consultants. Panelists: please react #focuserprt My answer: very common Growth. How do you grow people from skill A to skill B? The eternal question. For we are struggling with that question in our personal […]

By Martijn Linssen on April 26, 2011

There’s been a bit of buzz about Empire Avenue these days.Quite a few of my Twitter friends have signed up for it, one of who is Bernd Nurnberger. I had a conversation with him after he sent me an invite to join Empire Avenue. I had my doubts about Empire Avenue, especially finding the “what’s […]

…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 […]

Wirearchy - preferred by entrepreneurs

Wirearchy – preferred by entrepreneurs

By Martijn Linssen on April 6, 2011

A good while ago Jon Husband introduced me to the concept of Wirearchy. With the benefit of hindsight, Wirearchy is an (emerging) organizing principle for this new environment in which interconnected networks of people carry out the full range of human activities, ….   commerce, work, research, education, gossip, news. was a well-chosen description of […]
