  Twitter marketing – it works (on me)

  10.24.08 | Permalink | 2 Comments

  I just started using Twitter again about a week ago, and I got a reply to a tweet I … erm … tweeted. My message was: “I have a podcast and audiobook fetish. No support groups for me.”, and the reply I got from ‘podiobooks’ was “We can be your support group for your podcast [...]

  Ten things you may not know about Wikipedia

  07.23.08 | Permalink | Comment?

  While browsing Wikipedia I bumped into this interesting list, Ten things you may not know about Wikipedia (full list with descriptions can be found here). As a frequent user and sometimes contributer I found this quite interesting, especially number 6. We’re not for sale. Everyone can use our work with a few conditions. We speak [...]

  Surprising images

  04.24.08 | Permalink | 2 Comments

  I’ve been browsing around FFFFOUND! lately, an image bookmarking site. The fun thing for me is that I scroll through images that are completely random and unrelated to me (only the bookmarkers in question know why they bookmarked it), and it’s great fun. You do bump into some really great pictures that I guess you’d [...]
