Applications like LinkedIn never really got me going, until I started using it’s full potential. LinkedIn is a premium quality networking-tool, which is free to use, has tons of fancy features to use and connects you to new prospects, contacts and other people to do business with.
Once I started using the full potential of LinkedIn, I discovered a simple yet functional world that’s based on meeting new people and keeping in touch with relations and customers. Using LinkedIn can be a real boost of your career.
I was stunned when one of my connections contacted me via LinkedIn, which lead to a new assignment! The effort I had put in creating a quality LinkedIn profile paid of, in the first week of using LinkedIn! Read more »
Normally I’m not into gaming, but Lego Universe has something that makes my mind go around. Old times live on again. Who hasn’t played with Lego when you were in your childhood?

Toymaker Lego is trying to make the company stand out of the crowd, by implementing some features in the new to develop game, by merging the real world with the virtual reality world.
Players are able to customly build their Lego-creations in the game and afterwards they can order the creation to be build and delivered in real life! This is quite unique, I’ve never seen it in any other game! Read more »
Is there a single person in the world, that has never heard about Geert Wilders’ plan to make a anti-Koran movie? The news got worldwide known in the past few weeks and Wilders has already been threatened to get killed once he publishes his movie!

What is it, that keeps Wilders pushing forward to fight for his opinion and make a (political) statement? Is it really worth getting killed, which is most likely, to show your opinion to the world? Everyone can have his or her opinion, but is it worth to risk your life for that?
I think Wilders is only trying to make a point and show the world how single minded the world is. Wilders can cause so much trouble in the world, just by saying that he will create a anti-Koran movie, what will happen to the lost soul that actually will publish such a movie? Read more »
Imagine yourself working on your blog, from day to day. Struggling to find your way into the blogosphere and fighting for your existence. Many blogs will not survive the battle, but a few will survive. Large companies that interact with the bloggers (that write about them) can have great value for a blogger.

Yesterday, the blog The Next Web wrote a review about Blippr. Today, I found the next article in my RSS-reader which told me that Blippr gave 250 beta-invites to the readers of The Next Web. This is a great move from the guys at Blippr, more companies should interact with bloggers like this!
The readers of The Next Web have read the article yesterday and perhaps they are interested. If they visit the blog again today, they will find themselves a way to actually use and try the product. No doubt they will get enthusiastic and try it immediately (at least I did)! Read more »
Most visitors that enter a site on a specific page, don’t read the page (completely). Instead, they will scan the page for something they are looking for, or something they find interesting. If they don’t find anything that is worth taking some time to read, the page will be closed and the visitor is lost in cyberspace.
This event can be quite a frustration to a webdeveloper or content writer. You do want your visitors to actually read your content, not just scan around and leave the page again. In order to do this, you have to grab the visitors attention in the first few seconds of their visit.

All of the content that is available in magazines like Webmaster Magazine or whatever magazine that is webmaster-related, can be found on the internet. But still, new magazines are coming in the shops and I keep on wondering why people are still buying offline content.
Lots of webmasters and other people active on the internet, do receive their favorite magazines via ordinary mail. All the information that’s in those webmaster magazines, is available on the internet.

The internet is the number one of all information sources. The first thing that can be found on paper, and is not available on the internet, has yet to be found. So why do people keep on buying magazines? Read more »
I’m sick of people discriminating in this world, that’s the main reason why I’m posting this article. But why on this blog, what’s the connection with the web? The internet is one big example of how people should live together, without the color of the skin making a difference.

Webcams and other technologies allow people to see each other, but not everyone does have a webcam. So we (mostly) don’t know what race someone is, once we start chatting, emailing or even working together, untill we ask for more (personal) details.
And that’s how it should be, working and having fun together, without letting skin color make a difference. It’s great to know, that discrimination is dying. Less and less people think that there needs to be a difference between a white human and a black human. Read more »
