Serving you your daily dose of Herko since 1996
I’m an Apple Fanboy, a switcher and a believer, but now I’ve had a nasty encounter with a flaw in the MobileMe service that is there by design. I’ve just been told that the engineers are aware of the issue and are working to solve it. Read more…
One of the blog posts that was on my to-do list was one about the value of privacy in the interconnected world (hence the apt title of this blog post). I thought long and hard about what I wated to write and research to convince you that privacy is undergoing a major transformation at the moment. And then I found Nat Torkington’s presentation called ‘Web meets World: Privacy and the Future of the Cloud‘. And that is exactly what I wanted to tell you! So please take some time to go through this excellent presentation (make it full-screen so you can read the notes, which contain the text of his presentation).
Sorry for the strong title of this post, but that’s how I currently feel about the whole web 2.0/web 3.0 hype. People who are shouting about, saying that something is very ‘Web 2.0′ (or worse: web 3.0) make my skin crawl. Worse, it’s spreading like a virus, now everything needs to be ‘two point oh’. Stop it! You’re all acting silly, and you don’t know what you’re talking about!
Let me explain to you my personal position. Read more…
You probably know about Twitter, the so-called microblogging network. If you haven’t heard about it, don’t worry, you’re not missing something vital -I think. But I’m definately not sure, and that is basically what this post is about.
I joined Twitter on july 18 2008, so at the writing of this post, I’ve tweeted for 3 months. I joined because I wanted to try out the popular Twitterific app for my iPhone 3G. I started following a few people I know of, as I had no idea which ones of my friends were a member of Twitter. I followed the tweets made by people like Molly Holtzschlag, Dan Cederholm, Jeffrey Zeldman, Jeremy Keith, Veerle Pieters, Dan Rubin, Derek Featherstone. People who I have never met, but whose work I admire.
NB: Dit artikel heb ik geschreven voor het professionaliseringsnetwerk IKKI, en is in zijn oorspronkelijke vorm terug te vinden op de website van IKKI.
IKKI is het zoveelse netwerk waar ik lid van ben, en waar ik een profiel heb staan.
Mijn werkervaring en andere CV informatie staat ook op monsterboard.nl, werk.nl, werkenbijdeoverheid.nl, linkedin.com en in de kennisbank op het werk. Mijn netwerk heb ik ook aangegeven bij hyves.nl, linkedin.com, twitter.com, facebook.com, last.fm, pownce.com… en vast ook wel op andere plekken.
Leuk, die sociale netwerken. Van de overheid (waar ik werk) verwachten -nee eisen- we dat onze gegevens eenmalig gevraagd worden, en meervoudig gebruikt worden. Waarom vullen we dan overal onze gegevens weer opnieuw in? Het zijn toch onze gegevens? En ik heb het toch al ergens ingevuld?
