Social media experts are a hunted tribe these days. There’s not one morning where I check into my feeds where I don’t see a social media expert calling bullshit on other social media experts – defining them as the internet version of bad personal coaches.

An undefined creativity manifesto
This is a manifesto I did the morning after the creativity workshop at Lift07 – warning, I was in flow when I did it… you cannot define the “spark of creativity” – sometimes it’s there sometimes it’s not – live with it creativity changes on basis of what culture you’re exposed to (and coming from) […]
So lately I have been Jaiku’ing away on my lovely N70, I really enjoy it a lot. yesterday I found out that I could add my Twitter RSS feed to my Jaiku account So both my contacts in both communities are covered – excellent… I don’t know which one I would choose – I think […]
37signals published the E-book ” getting real” in 2006 – it evolves around the tasks that need to be done to make a successful web application. Now, I haven’t got that much experience in making web apps ( especially since I don’t code).. but ThomasKay was continuously telling me that I had to read it […]
