The story goes something like this: Vic was out for dinner with family and friends. The adults were on one side of the table, the kids on the other. The […]
Why Social Media Will Help (Not Suffer) in the Crisis
Ever since the financial crisis hit the stock and real estate markets, there’s been a fair bit of discussion about its impact on the web scene. Venture capitalists Sequoia made some powerpoint slides that became quite famous. That was one month ago. (Others, more recently, have been way more positive. Describing the atmosphere at Web […]
How video is changing young people
…and turning them into reporters, commentators, producers. This video is quite impressive in its being so simple, yet compelling.
While tapping into some very interesting points in itself, the clip was produced by Demos, a “think tank for ‘everyday democracy’”, as a teaser for their report on Network Citizens (PDF). From a first glance, the […]
CNNBC: Obama lost - because of you
Moveon.org has a great video to get folks to vote. It’s a personalized fake news show telling you clearly that it’s your fault, and yours only, if Obama lost the elections. Here’s the version I got sent, customized with my name, but you can put in anybody. (Remember the Dexter viral campaign?)
(Maybe I should have […]

Some thoughts on Barcamp, Web 2.0 Expo, Girl Geek Dinner, Berlinblase
This has been some crazy week for me. Starting last Friday, there has been no day, and no evening, without some kind of web-related event: Barcamp, Girl Geek Dinner, Web 2.0 Expo. And all the events surrounding those, like Pitchparty, LateCrunch and of course the “official” Web 2.0 Expo party. Which is why I took […]

Likemind Berlin Wrap-Up
Earlier today I had the pleasure of hosting Likemind Berlin along with Thomas Praus of my office neighbors Panorama3000. Great coffee and even better conversations - if you get a chance to go to your next local Likemind, make sure not to miss out. From my experience with the last Likeminds, the crowd is mostly […]
Berlinblase summarized in one Moo card
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Berlinblase is back. But as of now, we have a Moo card that says it all:

Not enough info? There’s (a bit… work in progress…) more on Berlinblase > About, as well as a brief intro to the crew.
Vaynerchuk on Social Media ROI
Gary Vaynerchuk strikes with another awesome rant: “You Down With ROI?… Yeah You Know Me“. Are social media in trouble because of the U.S. financial crisis? Nope, it’s magazines, radio and TV who are in trouble, say Vaynerchuk. And guess who agrees: Yours truly.
Because social media have a number of clear advantages over traditional […]
