I work for teh Internets
During the last couple of days, particularly at next08, I’ve had a few very funny discussions about the nature of our jobs, and how you can’t explain any of our internet-related jobs to our parents or non-web friends. (Yes, there are some of those out there!)

Re:publica 08 #3 (Law)
One of the best panels My favorite panel at re:publica was Henning Krieg’s panel on law and blogging.

Relaxed, informal and funny presentation, a lot of value for […]

Re:publica 08 #1
So far, I haven’t been able to blog about re:publica 08, Germany’s top blogger & social media conference. Not because it hasn’t been interesting - quite the contrary - but because I ended up chatting with a lot of cool folks. Which is, let’s face it, the main point about this kind of congregations. The […]

Why Small Organizations See The Internet As A Chance, Big Ones See It As A Challenge
There is a thing about the internet, a notion that has been around since the early days: That the internet offers a chance to anyone to do something big, to start their own projects, companies, or even movements.
While this is true, what’s easily forgotten is that anyone refers mostly to individuals, or small organizations: […]

Caroline Clifford’s take on blogging is to draw doodles instead of the usual text or video posts, creating a really compelling (and very fun) blog style. Great stuff, and […]
