View more documents from Jacquelyn Cyr.
A nice little presentation about the power of social media. It’s trying to me a bit more provocative than it really is, but the fun pictures make up for it. Some good stuff in there. (via). (Also, just after posting I noticed [...]
Presentation: Internet und Politik
Today I gave a presentation on internet and its role on politics at ISWA. In the talk I’m laying out the basics of online politics: social networking, new rules of engagement, and a (very brief) view on the state of the political web in Germany.

Webby Awards: Wrap-up & Slides
So last night I was at the German Webby Awards event in Berlin. (Thanks to Upside, the agency that serves as the German Webby ambassador, for inviting me as a speaker. Also, thanks to David!) What the Webby Awards do these days is branching out internationally. A logical step, if you ask me.
So how [...]

Tooltips for syncing slides and video
VCASMO is a pretty neat tool to sync video and slides. Just sayin’. VCASMO syncs videos fromm youtube or similar sources, and slideshows from slideshow.com. It’s a great little mashup, the results can be embedded either 440 pixels wide (as seen above) or 850 pixels wide:
