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?
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.
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!
Results in Google change by day
(Sorry, this is an old post which is automatically translated from Dutch to (D) English by Google Translate/SDL)
Sometimes you have the feeling, that results are can with the day otherwise, or actual sometimes with the minute. What one sees, sees the other neat defense otherwise (in such a way is that of 100 other things dependent).
Self have I now a keyword by which the ranking fluctuates from page 1-layer or 2-high to 11-hoog/laag, it not sillyer must become.
A large weblog of me use happened changes to see I for years as test surroundings what there when you something in the code, content, the left etc. Only time back got I a time a large slap through the changing of my url structure (by which I at that time the redirecten been wrong taken, about 1.5 years ago). But good of wrong one learns.
On this moment, all pages sit good in Google and came I also behind a duplicate content issue through yet more gepruts with dynamic url’s, rewriten etc. Now sit I however with a keyword that per day differs of positions in the SERP.
One day score I page 1 or 2 (9,10,11e position) and 3 days later on is the Google penalty prevent in working stepped and have been kicked I direction the 11e page (your knowledge well; the Google 30 and 950 penalty. Because the site self yet from 2004 descends has been optimized the code self verrre of and stand is I thanks to the content and beautiful left on good spots in the missing machines, however hopefully that time fast past.
The site self completely is rebuilt mix to go take now round also the last horde in the ideal missing machine optimalisatie (your knowledge well; popularity/linking, technien and content). Mostly boring is yet that I with that a keyword sit and not get about which he daily fluctuates. It appears well to come through the mega large list of comments that the keyword density influences, or possibly the problems, that I yet with paginering and ‘pagerank’ -flow have, lunatic is well that fluctuatie and no single reason for the decisions of the result (not bound at actions or decisions that I do).
Have I been aroused curiosity or it yet more men its with inexplicable changes?
What is Web 3.0
(Sorry, this is an old post which is automatically translated from Dutch to (D) English by Google Translate/SDL)
With the Web 1.0 era far behind us and the Web 2.0 parcours again a robust to pieces afgelegd make to have we us always more a lake ready for a turnabout (or a further transformation) to a Web 3.0 period.
And how much this also sound may a buzzword, everybody as know well immediately where you the over have and be what your intentions. I found various information only early is me finished a little now real the nature of Web 3.0…..
I read an article on Oreillynet. com, in which exhaustively all sorts of subjects around Web 2.0 are discussed, the row that that named becomes want I gladly below yet once repeat:
Web 1.0 -> Web 2.0
DoubleClick –> Google AdSense
Ofoto –> Flickr
Akamai –> BitTorrent
mp3.com –> Napster
Britannica Online –> Wikipedia
personal websites –> blogging
evite –> upcoming. org and EVDB
domain name speculation –> search engine optimization
page views –> cost per click
screen scraping –> web services
publishing –> participation
content management systems –> wikis
directories (taxonomy) –> tagging (“folksonomy”)
stickiness –> syndication
Where I then very aroused curiosity to am is the words that under Web 3.0 would go fall. In an article on Frankwatching , Godfather Berkel writes here an interesting piece over that the 1 and others explains. Weller yet find I the reactions under the article that a) describe that the technical development totally not so fast goes and b) everything decentraal becomes. From it everything I conclude falls actual only 1 stab word; relations (a little technical under the denominator connections.
Doorbordurend on what Web 3.0 (and 4.0 etc) is, see you up here a beautiful graphics that I of Minding the Planet picked have off. In this see you that the shifts actual for a long time have taken place and the Web2.0 principle such bit already overtaken is. In other words we sit be with only already in a Web 3.0 principle and is Web 2.0 so 2007..
Remains only good, now the question is Web 3.0 ‘what? ‘Naturally yet ontbeantwoord. A beautiful view on this find I actual come from Sync. nl that actual late see that Web 3.0 not (alone) ‘decentralisation’, ‘relations’, ‘semantic’ or ‘connections is, but actual usual a ‘man’.
The shift of ‘machine’ to ‘man’ (or more the ‘machine man’) begins to find thus slow but certain place and a certain form of AI (artificial intelligence) gets the upper hand. If we also yet look at the fact that websites turn round the users, the technique (in web3.0 form) and the business (the customer) then see we actual that also this nothing more is than usual the ‘man’.
Coincidence or usual Web 3.0?
