Dat geld de wereld regeert, wordt door geen voorbeeld beter geïllustreerd dan door de Griekse tragedie die zich momenteel voltrekt. Vanaf het begin van de eurocrisis, inmiddels toch alweer zo’n drie jaar geleden, vlak na de bankencrisis van 2008, lopen de politici achter de feiten aan, ontbreekt een samenhangend concept en bepalen uitsluitend de financiële markten de gang van zaken. Het is ook een schoolvoorbeeld van een self-fulfilling prophecy: financiële markten gedijen bij vertrouwen. Is dat  show all text

Google geeft aan dat van de mobiele traffic 50% bestaat uit foto- en videobelevingen. Social Mobile dus. Reserveren om het boek als eerste te hebben kan hier.

We hebben al vaker geschreven over de mogelijkheden die Twitter en sport hebben; zeker in combinatie met tv erbij waarbij Twitter dan als ‘second screen’ fungeert. Sportfans gebruiken twitter dan om live-commentaar te lezen van andere sportfans. Daarnaast biedt Twitter voor clubs ook veel mogelijkheden, van Twitter accountnamen op shirts tot hashtags op velden. Met die gedachten in het achterhoofd hebben Twitter en ESPN (zo’n beetje de grootste sportzender van de VS) gisteren een strategische s...  show all text

Professioneel gebruik van social tools komt relatief vaak voor binnen organisaties die goed presteren, en bij medewerkers die goed presteren.

When Facebook made it easy to share what videos you were watching, companies like Socialcam, Metacafe, DailyMotion and Viddy rocketed up the app-charts and saw a sharp increase in the usage and downloads of these apps. Of course, with this friction-less sharing actions came howls of complaints from Facebook’s users. Well, it seems the party has come to an end. The reality check is eerily reminiscent of the decline in attention for social news-reader applications. AppData.com statistics show a s...  show all text

Facebook is nearing a billion users, but what could topple the big blue giant? Government intervention, the shift to mobile, and a loss of “cool” all have the power to violently disrupt the social network, or at least cause it to lose its strong grip on the market. Here’s a look at the four things that could ruin Mark Zuckerberg’s dream of a single site that connects the world. The thread that runs between all these pitfalls is their potential to make Facebook irrelevant. If you can’t access it,  show all text

For the past year or so, I’ve noticed that my Facebook mobile apps have slowed down with each screen tap. I used to tap the screen and see the latest posts or photos fairly quickly. Now I see the “Loading” message more than anything else. Even worse: I’m constantly pulling the screen down to refresh the data, even when tapping a Facebook notification takes me to a supposedly updated post. I’m not sure when that behavior started, but it’s quite annoying and happens on both my Android and iOS dev...  show all text

The whole "everyone should learn programming" meme has gotten so out of control that the mayor of New York City actually vowed to learn to code in 2012. A noble gesture to garner the NYC tech community vote, for sure, but if the mayor of New York City actually needs to sling JavaScript code to do his job, something is deeply, horribly, terribly wrong with politics in the state of New York. Even if Mr. Bloomberg did "learn to code", with apologies to Adam Vandenberg, I expect we'd end up with ...  show all text

Now they’ve taken all that data and splayed it out for all to see, and it highlights rather nicely how big a headache fragmentation can be for developers.

Web startups are made out of two things: people and code. The people make the code, and the code makes the people rich. Code is like a poem; it has to follow certain structural requirements, and yet out of that structure can come art. But code is art that does something. It is the assembly of something brand new from nothing but an idea. More »
