State of the Blogosphere 2008 (brief summary)

Technorati’s State of the Blogosphere is back, this time split up into five daily installments. (Start with the introduction.) What can I say? Some impressive numbers. Note that the data is a mix of stats gathered through Technorati and feedback gathered in a survey of some 1.100 bloggers (methodology).
First up, and hardly surprising, blogs are […]


October is web season in Berlin (come & play!)

Just as last year, this October Berlin will be home to a whole bunch of great web events. Most notably, O’Reilly’s Web 2.0 Expo will be in town, and no doubt will attract all the movers and shakers of the Web 2.0 world. Last year it was a blast. (One of the fun things: Asking […]


Next-generation content management for newspapers (is in the making)

Steve Yelvington helps newspapers get the web. Newspapers have a hard time adapting the new ways of the web, what with all this user-generated content, changing consumer habits and dropping sales.

Workshop on social media in higher education (follow-up)

As mentioned before, earlier this week I had the chance to hold a workshop on social media in higher education at Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC). (Slides below or on Slideshare). It was a great group, very active and engaged despite their completely different backgrounds and the language barrier. (Thanks guys!)
Special thanks, again, to Josep […]


Protect your tweets - or don’t

Recently I proposed to add a little Twitter feature, namely an indicator for why you protect your Twitter feed. (Why is this important? To prevent social awkwardness.) Tapio picked up on this issue and asked (among others) me:
You folks out there must have come across that situation: a new follower request comes in, you don’t […]


Workshop: Social Media in Higher Education

Next Tuesday, I’ll have the great chance to hold a workshop at UOC, Barcelona, on Social Media in Higher Education. UOC is a virtual university with students all over the world, so they’re very web-savvy to begin with. I’m very curious about their feedback on my two cents on Web 2.0 and social media. Also, […]
