Personal Branding Going On Strong!

Tim Huijbers on Google

A little while ago (as far as 2 years is ‘a little while’) I paid a lot of attention to my personal branding. Not just branding, but online branding. I wanted to have topics on top in search engines that where related to me and of course especially the results in Google.

That time I started to have bad stuff (although there was none ;) ) removed in each way (kicking down those results, remove pages, etc) and also started to improve my personal presence on the web. That way those preferred result start to popup and bad results where gone.

Experiencing Mobile Analytics

One of the core aspects of User Experience is measuring your succes. Not only as a proof of your optimization, not only to be able to determine next steps, but also for fun!

So besides having details about usage etc, I’d also started to measure my new mobile websites with a dedicated mobile analytics package! Again, not just very informative, but also just very, very cool!

Feel free to checkout my simple screenshot of one of my mobile sites and if you want an account yourself (free, with limitations), check out Percentmobile.

Lauched my first -fully self made- mobile website!

This week I launched my first mobile website, fully designed and created by myself ! Although it is still in beta (some menu functions aren’t working) and probably a lot of functions will be added soon, it is now live for the iPhone and Android mobile phones!

Why I love SEO !

Sometimes I’ll feel kinda dorky as care about figures shouldn’t be the most important thing in live.  And although poor children in countries who recently experienced a big disaster might need more attention, I still do care about those figures (and not just because it’s a part of my job ;) ).

The new way of viewing online videos

Recently I read an article which was about an interview. The interview itself was about marketing stuff (I won’t bother you with it, it was in Dutch). So the topic was not that bad, but still I had a hard time following the full interview.

The complete interview toke place in about 7 minutes and there were 2 people sitting at a table discussing some topics. But after a minute and half I start clicking in the progress bar to skip to next parts of the video to speed it up a bit. Is that because the video wasn’t that interesting as I just mention, or is that just me acting like the next generation, scanning the video instead of viewing it

Why Google Wave is already dead

I think Google Wave already passed his preview stage. Actually it already passed it’s beta, live and hype stage. Worse, it might be dead already.

Can a product as cool (gool..) as Google Wave can die so soon without being released to the big crowd? I just read a Wave from someone who said ‘is it dead yet?’, he might be right, or isn’t he? I’ll give you some reasons why the big G lost this one already.

Aren’t those QR codes lovely?

Check me out with your mobile phone scanner!

I’m always looking for fun and new e-marketing possibilities. Not just to use them myself but also to read what other people do with it.

Relatively new are the mobile QR codes, while existing for a while now, not many companies used them for their cool campaign yet. Some of them did and came up with nice ideas, I’ll just want to share a few of them with you together with some basic mobile phone QR code background information to get you started.

10 reasons why you shouldn’t use Twitter

After a while everybody got his own reasons to use or not use specific services like Facebook, RSS feeds or forums. Also some people hate Internet Explorer and others almost live within the Apple offices. But that’s also the fun part of opinions; it will never happen that everybody agrees on same side.

Therefore I want to challenge you with 10 reasons why you should avoid Twitter and should never send out any tweets or follow any accounts. And yes, I know that Im using Twitter…

New layout for T.I.M.

I’m moving the site to a new layout and from now on everything will be in the English language instead of Dutch.

Started my own company Livestorm

(Sorry, this is an old post which is automatically translated from Dutch to (D) English by Google Translate/SDL)

For men that me personal know is it no surprise, but 1 May is it then really real so far. I have been started with my own business: Livestorm!

Under the name Livestorm Consultancy, I want to go realize the trial from the brainstormfase till at realization of websites/draft with customers. Where Livestorm Media for the same activities will stand but then for myself.

In this article an explanation over the activities and my motives!

The basis website of my business Livestorm has been adapted meanwhile and have will become pulled when I before time this layout through over the whole site.

The activities of my business will focus self mainly on; develop new and existing drafts/websites. Dependent on the draft and the website (partly) the building on me take and where necessarily the right assessments hire this to realize. This in combination with the experience on e-marketing order sees to (and sore experience in usability and web analytics) to give according to me for a good manner round each draft or website a flying start.

I chose expresses for the exporting of activities under different trade names. As the head name Livestorm will remain, are exported however the activities under different trade names:

Livestorm Consultancy
Below all branches will fall harmed exported will become that for (private persons and commit). The branches described I before.

Livestorm Media
Below will the drafts and websites will fall that Livestorm have developed. Possible do not falls below in the future also the sale of products via webwinkels, however falls this within the present focus, but you know but never;).

I can actual do not say that the ‘a dream is that realities became’. After all I had in a far lately all an eenmanszaak during my study (sale media via internet) and have I a VOF had with a good friend single years back (a music of service for businesses). Through tight margins and times deficiency (too large draft) become unfortunately become not the businesses what they.

‘Only about which think you that it now well succeeds’ hear I you think. The difference easily out is to be laid; both old businesses have been started, after which there with the execution is begun, and the draft in the market is gezet (nothing strange at), however is Livestorm arise because I these activities already a time export and everything on a professional level to lift have I decided this now under to bring in a business, with all advantages (and disadvantages;)) by Tues.

A beautiful challenge thus round the coming years my empire from to knit (for who it not yet knows, an impression find you on Livestorm self;)). I am meanwhile busy wish with amusing new customers and the realizing of theirs ‘s, beside it stand it much new things on pile. Hopefully can I so finished and closed here once what blog so that everybody with can read how this now in the practice goes, I promise nothing;).

This will I otherwise do next to my present job by Capgemini which I naturally actively will remain as usability consultant with a center of gravity by web analytics and missing machine marketing. Livestorm has been planned work for 8uur in the week, this in combination with ‘a normal working week’ of 40 hour will thus excellent to realize be, but is the usual 8uur hobby actual and has been paid it well that now once for to get really!
