Tibbr, the new OS. Integrating is the new Operating

I just watched the live feed of Tibbr's 3.0 launch. It was impressive and even more so than the 1.0 launch I attended live in February - although that was a revelation, and revolution too

Back a dozen years or so, Larry Ellison dreamed about the network PC as replacing Microsoft's Operating System (OS) - and woke up in a nightmare.
Since, Apple has come back with their OS and stole some marketshare.
Linux was born and stole great marketshare, most of that server side in companies - not in the consumer market

Still, it was oldfashioned OS as we know it - Jim

Big Twother is watching you

...so said Tamsen McMahon on April 7th.
Funny as it is, there's a typo in the tweet - did or can you spot it? I did, and couldn't resist:

It's "its" and not "it's" > RT @tamadear: (...) your impression of a company and it's representatives. To wit, typos on presentation slides

Caught in the act in public there of pointing the finger to others and immediately getting a finger pointed back, how would the reaction be? Denial, anger, cover-up, fun, laughter?

Twitter's accidental path to monetisation

I like a challenge every now and then, and when I'm lacking them, I usually create them myself
For the past weeks and months, I've been watching and wondering about the speed Twitter moves with towards scarcity

If you paid attention in economics class, you'll have learned that scarcity is key to profit and loss

Would more Influence fix your self-esteem?

Over the last few days, ye good olde Influence discussions have been going across the Twitterverse like crazy. It's the end of Summer, and the very beginning of it was marked by Fast Company's influence project which in fact turned out to be one big showroom for the insecure longing for attention and recognition

ReadWriteWeb did a piece on influence and popularity, Marketing profs did a piece on influence and popularity, Brian Solis did a piece on influence and popularity - heck what can I add to that?

A lot

ReTweet relativity

One of the tools I made recently is my own Search tool that I use to make hashtag Tweet Collections. Its output is HTML but it's also valid XML (just change the extension), but the real beauty of it is that every tweet has a timestamp, including seconds - so I can tell which tweets can be human, and which must be automated

How?

We have engaged in unnatural communications

An addiction is a persistent behavioral pattern marked by physical and/or psychological dependency and tolerance that causes significant disruption and negatively impacts the quality of life of an organism

Been there, done that. Gaming addiction, coding addiction, chatting addiction - not that I needed to seek any help, let alone professional, but there have been days that became nights and morning without seemingly blinking an eye

I see increasing signs of chatting addiction on Twitter. John Mayer Predicts Deadpool For Twitter is the latest news on the subject.

Government 2.0 around the world: NL

On Twitter I recently got involved in a discussion with people from Australia (and Texas) about eGovernment. Australia, you know, the #nocleanfeed country where they want to relive the Middle Ages they never had themselves by trying to censorship the Internet. E-government is not something to think lightly of, in Australia...

I got all excited about what we do in the Netherlands regarding electronic and government (making the definition of E-government very wide here).

Social Business Summit 2010 tweet collection

In the past few days I've been working on a tool that retrieves certain tweets from Twitter, and downloads them in an easy to use format

Not fully automated yet, but here's the 3000+ tweets from the Dachis Social Business Summit so far: searched on #SBS2010
Hope you'll find good use for it

Mobile is our future wallet and identity

An article by Christopher Carfi on how the new social customer will be mobile, and a (rather non-critical) article from Tech Crunch on Facebook's email got my attention today

Email is all about identity according to TechCrunch there, which is rather far fetched I think. I used to have more than two dozen email accounts none of which contained much real data about myself, if any. The only email account that does now is my corporate account (I terminated the majority of my accounts and now have only 6 - I think) - and that is indirectly, of course
