Seven Things You Don’t Know About Me
The Seven Things You Don’t Know About Me meme has been around for quite a while (it’s fairly old, really), but it’s good fun, and a charming way to get to know each other better. So here we go. I was tagged by Stuart Brown (Social Communications), so here are seven not-so-well known facts about [...]

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 [...]
I work for the Internets shirt now available in the U.S.
A little while ago, MT and I launched a little side project, a t-shirt series that says “I work for the Internets“. We’ve only sold a few, but we’ve also been asked a few times if we shipped outside Europe which had been quite expensive due to the way our German Spreadshirt shop was set [...]
Berlin couple share their pregnancy: RealBirthTV

What’ll happen to our data after Facebook jumps the shark?
Facebook has, very recently, made it possible to delete accounts instead of just deactivating them. Deleting the account is the only option to really make Facebook let go of your personal information, and until recently this was notoriously hard to accomplish.
Facebook has pretty decent privacy features, or at least privacy control features, as online social [...]
Study: Real vs Fantasized Identity on Social Networking Sites
FaberNovel Consulting has just published a study on best practices from social networking sites.
The whole study contains a great overview over what’s important if you analyze social networking sites. Two aspects stood out for me, though:
