Facebook has been hyper active these first weeks of 2011 and keeping us developers and community managers on our toes. The latest twist for page owners was introduced on the 10th of February with the iFrame tabs for pages blog post. I was a bit surprised to see them let go of their full control [...]

I’ve been doing the odd social media seminar now and then up on requests from companies and organizations. Each seminar ranges from one to four hours.

Location is taking the internet by storm according to all the hip tech blogs.

I love spending some quality time in the kitchen tinkering with new recipes. Last night I stumbled upon a photo online that sparked an impromptu culinary masterpiece.

…for most parts at least. One of the brilliant perks of living in a small community is how easy it is to reach out and get valuable feedback from the crowd. I’m working on a pretty important website and was wondering if it is timely to introduce some CSS3 and fancy fonts. A simple question [...]

Posted 05 August 2010 | By | Categories: Social Media | Comments

Today it dawned on me, the future is now! Who needs flying cars when you have an iPhone. I was doing 50km/hr on my bike when I got the idea for this blog. My phone was dutifully tracking my bike ride home through GPS satellites and modern wizardry. It got me thinking about all the GEO [...]
