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

After this happends I made a comment about this below that interview, but somehow it kept my mind busy and I felt I needed to write it down.

Most of you know how people read the web already, so just check out that page if you need more info on that. But could it be that we are also evolving to a new way of ‘reading’ online videos? Although you might think I’m the the only (although I don’t ), there must be some explanation for this. Or at least some possibility to measure this and take actions.

Videos become important

Online video is booming. Not just now, but it growing fast for years and it’s getting bigger and bigger (so far the things you already knew..). But as it gets bigger, it becomes more common and familiar for users. Also videos aren’t execeptions anymore but everybody is pushing that information. As a reaction to those things the mass will start evolving their way of reading the videos, which means that we also need to adapt on the development side to be sure we can still deliver the message as intended.

How we will view videos

The big question will be ‘how do users view videos?’. Of course i don’t have a solid answer, but i can at least tell you my ideas and convert the tradional reading tips into viewing tips.

First start with translation Jakob Nielsen’s idea’s into meaningful tips for viewing online videos (so keep this article in mind):

• Highlight important information in the video (repeat, focus or use another technique to show that this info is important)
• Good structure of the video. Make the structure logical (follow AIDA) and make sure the user understands where it will lead to)
• Make sure people can check the information they want to without the need to view the complete videos or with the risk missing information (use markers, start your video with an option to jump to specific parts
• Make it fast to load, and beware of using HD as a lot of users might have interruptions during playback.
• Make it short,  commercially short.
• Let people know the content of the video in the beginning (as the info in the descriptions might be lost when embedded).

That’s just a start keeping videos interesting for your target audience. It’s almost like giving them a presentation, but then more fluid, more cool and hopefully more interesting.

With some research we can probably come up with more stuff we need to focus on.

Mobile usage

A subject we have to keep in mind is that videos are very related to mobile. The mobile market is also still growing, mostly for next generation phones like the iPhone, Blackberries and Android cellphones.

On mobile phones people might even be harder to catch and to stay focussed than people viewing videos on their desktops. On a mobile you are always in a hurry, you sometimes need to pay more for your data, screen is smaller etc. So all above point also count for mobile users.

Wouldn’t it be cool when mobile users could just see what the video is about and then skip to the part that’s interesting for them, and afterwards feeling good instead of afraid that they missed something or they’ll get the biggest phone bill ever?

Measure videos

Somehow you need to measure how many people are viewing your videos, what they watched, whether they skipped sections etc. Although I won’t go deeper into these techniques now, I just wanted to let you know that this is possible with every analytics package like Google Analytics (use events or virtual pageviews) and you’ll have the first data inhouse within soon.

Another good suggestion to measure this is user testing. Just get someone of the streets, a few of time, and let them view your videos. Next to fun it will also come up with interesting details, give it a try.

Examples

I just want to show you that everything is possible already, but just a small bunch of people is using it. For example, did you see the Youtube Piano? This move is about playing piano directly by clicking in the movie. The technique behind this can be used for changing videos into more useful and interesting information.

I know that there are a lot of those examples so if you’d like to share your examples, feel free to post them here. If I’ll find some high quality videos myself which are matching the above information then I’ll post those as well.

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.

Crappy usability

The whole interface has a Gmail feeling, which is good. But the placement of sub-screens (especially when they are minimized), the unclear menu options, wavelets everywhere (even for the settings) are not really helping the acceptance of this new product. Did you ever check the new scrollbars, nice design but crappy to use.

Most of this is because we’re just not used to this standard, so it’s cool to see but if the mass cannot use the product because their IQ doesn’t reach 100, the product becomes useless.

Lot’s of errors

Going into big waves is horrible, they take hours to load but even days to scroll through them. So please don’t invite your mom to join the wave. Before you’ll even notice the wave gets filled with details about upcoming Christmas, you cousin or how bad the neighbors behaved and you wave becomes so slow that you’ll never be able to send a reply back to your mom.

Oh wait, that can be a good thing either..

It’s slow, really really slow

Did I already mentioned that is was slow? Not just a big wave is slow, the entire programs loads like a big pile of sh*t going down the toilet (sorry for that). Nowadays when I want to load the website, I even start up my Android for a nice game of Mahjong. When I’ve finished my 3rd game, finally something shows up on my screen. I don’t want to spend 2010 on waiting for apps to load, that ain’t a good example off working in the cloud!

Unclear how and where to use for

It’s something like emailing with the speed of Twitter and the possibilities of chat. Lost me? That’s exactly what I mean. Although it looks cool, it also gives you a bad feeling about what it is about, why the hassle? So you use it once, twice if you are really geeky, but then it end with a pure dissatisfaction. Yeah your account died to, join the club.

Ugly and stupid gadgets

In your wavelets you’ll have the possibility to add gadgets, which can be used by all readers of the wave. There are gadgets like mini conference rooms (you can even see each other;)), drawing (yeah you can draw together, WOW!), showing maps and polls (don’t push me) and other fancy stuff.

The problem is that this fancy stuff makes the waves slower, are as ugly as.. , screw up the layout even more and mostly contain stuff from the 80s.

Thanks Google for bringing Paint back to live in the cloud, can’t wait for Word Perfect!

Bot’s in your contact list

You have the possibilities to have real time translation on sentences you type (although speaking of realtime such a slow speed might not be realtime, that’s for you to decide), also you can chat with bots and ‘god’ knows what else. But everytime you add such a service, it shows up in your contact list as a new contact.

Why should you have 10 bots in your contacts, while the real people you want to Wave with are buried deeply somewhere in your contacts overview.

Terminology used by l33t

Sorry but introducing new terminology like Waves, wavelets, blips, blaps and blops isn’t really cool, it’s annoying. Even I have a hard time to understand and fully read articles about Google Wave terminology and in my opinion I’m not in the same target audience as my 90 year old granny, so I guess she will never understand what’s happening on her screen. She is a fan of Facebook though…

Great!

Maybe I should bring my first aid kit and try to save this high quality piece of technology, but I probably need some more people to help me save it.

I’ve some invites left, so if you really care to save the Wave from its cardiac arrest then send me an email. I’ll will send you the invite via Google Wave. (yes that means that I have an account myself and my template is black, deathly black).

More information on what Google Wave actually is can be found in the article on Mashable.

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.

First of all, if you have no idea what i’ve been talking about so far (QR codes, what codes?), then you really need to read the wikipedia pages first. If you are already aware of those codes and how they work, feel free to continue reading this very informative story .

Create your own QR codes

Of course the most fun thing to do after reading this story is to create those codes yourself. Via on online generator (this one is very good) you can easily created the codes yourself and copy the generated image into anything you want. Via the generator you can quickly create codes for:

• Calender Events (send you friends a card with this code!)
• Contact Informat (vCard, how cool is it to let people scan you business cards and then automatically save you as a new contact!)
• Email Address (Use the codes in your signatures, isn’t that fun!)
• Geo Location (Create routes for the kid, a whole new dimension in GPS based real life games!)
• Phone Number (Scared to ask you favorite girl for her number, ask for her QR code!)
• SMS (Send out predefined SMS, easy for companies to have people send a sms to a pre-defined number with the text ‘call me for an offer now’!)
• URL (On your websites, magazines or whatever, let people easily go to the websites (of course prepare for a mobile version of your website!))
• Text (of course all kinds of normal text are available, be creative and send a postcard to your favorite valentin with a QR code saying ‘I love you’ , ain’t that nice!)

The options showed here are standard options within the generator but as the code can store anything, be creative and use your imagination (e.g. Android Apps can be easily found in the market using the market:// as an url, more information on the Android Dev website)

Cool virals

Recently some websites reported about the AMOR campagin from Editoras Online which was quite a nice campaign using Twitter, QR Codes and old-style books. Lots of code where sticked on whatever it would stick (see those pictures on Flickr) and a whole buzz was starting. Check out that story for more information on that or view the video.

Another cool viral and buzz which trigger my memories is the Lego Codes MyToys.de. They created advertisement built by real lego bricks. When people scanned those ad’s they were sent to the website where the could buy the Lego. Results showed shat they had a huge increase on sales, of course mostly because of that campaign.  This video shows you how it worked.

Just a few examples and more will possibly follow. If you did find any cool other usages, let me know and feel free to post them in the comments!

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…

Going even further then the article on Mashable that shows us reasons not to follow someone, I would like to give you 10 reasons to get your life back and stop using Twitter.

So be innovative, cancel your account and just talk to your friends in real life!

1. Even interesting people are sending tweets about the weather

Al lot of people who hate Twitter from the beginning had this comment; “why should you be interested in someones private life”. And although a lot of users told me that Twitter is more then that, it just isn’t! Probably 90% is just tweet-crap about the snowy weather, hot tea drinks in the city, pictures of drunk idiots, spam of company activities, useless location info, crappy music sites, idiotic re-tweets (can i stop now..).

Anyway, although you try to follow interesting in inspiring people, it always end up pressing the unfollow button as you just don’t want to know what their kids did this weekend.

2. 20 kids in a circle

Did you ever play this game? 20 kids sit in a circle and the teacher tells the first kid a short story. The kid had to tell that same story to the next kid, and so on. At the end the last kid had to tell the teacher the story and it’s always completely different to the story originally told to the first kid. Now that’s Twitters and the kids, that’s you again!

Someone tweets some news into the world and at the end the person spoken about ends up dead, killed by a serialkiller and will be cremated while a gospel choir sings Halleluja. The news in the tweets will never be of high quality as we just ain’t journalist (at least most of us are not). So the information quality will start running down the hill as the tweets appear. That’s why the experiment of journalists living on Facebook and Twitter info only, won’t last long.

3. Pictures are crap

Did you notice that 75% of all pictures shown on Twitter do not only contain idiots, pigs (animals..), drunk colleagues or objects hidden in noisy images? I would almost beg for 5 megapixel cam’s in every cellphone so at least the object in the pictures can be recognized, but as people are still making photo’s with the first generation Sony Ericcson’s the picture options in Twitter should be banned.

4. Video’s are crap

You probably didn’t see this one coming, did you? Shall I start talking about crappy SE’s, or maybe this time it’s Nokia’s fault? No it’s just ours. You cannot record friends while losing their heads, throwing up after drinking 6 bottles of water or create movies which have more blur in it, then I’ll have in my mind on a bad monday morning.

5. Contact channel for companies

What the heck is a individual doing on Twitter, it’s for companies only. Why? As some individual cannot find the contact-button on a company website and therefore sent out their own incompentent actions and hope for acknowledgement from other cool individuals. Shouldn’t someone tell them that complaining is not a good habit?

Companies now need to react on such complaints or else they will be bad, get spanked and might not ever use social media again. Didn’t anyone ever heard of a tactic called ‘ignore them’?

6. Twitter advertising is coming your way

Within soon you will be overwhelmed with commercials, banner’s, contextual ad’s and other beautiful and annoying commercial crap which will spoil your Twitter-experience. for now Twitter is finally earning some money via selling their search to the big giants, but it’s just a matter of time before we will be bombed with ad’s as well. Hopefully a full size flash banner fits your mobile screen.

7. It’s for wannabe’s without friends

Okay it sounds kind of harsh, but okay it’s not for all of you, but 60% (..80%) is just using Twitter as they feel a urgent need to be there, get in contact with people who just don’t want to contact them, be interesting, have someone listening to their voice and to spam out there 10 unique-visits-a-day-websites. People following 10.000 of other people can’t be serious, or there dayjob should be ‘checking your tweets’, stop fooling yourself.

8. Just another SPAM channel

No this isn’t about the companies that are on Twitter, this is just us posting crap. Next to shitty tweets we also try to fill in as much crap in our profile as possible, try to get our myspace url’s into the website field (or worse our made-for-adsense-websites) and post unrecognizable bit.ly links to spammy websites which are trying to enter your computer with 50 trojan horses at once.

I’m not even talking about profiles which will automatically follow people based on certain keywords in their profile or tweets, just to send out a I-follow-you-message which contains more commercial info then the weekly package of advertisements I receive in my mailbox. And although you can report those profiles, I’d rather not cause a blind spot on my touchscreen because of pressing that button 100 times a day.

9. Another channel helping the information overload

Should I put in the list of websites & services you need to follow to stay informed about what’s happening in the world? Of course I don’t, as I’m not the first one talking about this.

Twitter is just a new channel with the same information, brought and compiled in a different way. More information to consume, more time to spend, more lifehacking problems. Okay, it goes easier, but posting by mobile isn’t new, Twitter is just smart of using online sms-ing (it that a word?), but I’m glad sms is (still) a bit private (hopefully).

10. RSS feed copied into Twitter

This one is just a personal annoyance of me. Why do websites have the option to follow them on Twitter but just have their RSS feed connected to Twitter? I don’t want to have the same texts and links on the websites and the RSS feeds in my tweet-list. Why shouldn’t my RSS reader be enough, it’s realtime, it’s easy to use, it’s good!

Of course they can send in there links into Twitter, but at least change the text and don’t just connect your feeds, again the unfollow-button is the only cure.

That’s a nice list

Now feel free to send your comments. And yes, you can also send me tweets with your comments ((don’t) follow me on Twitter..)

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

During the migration the old website will still be available under REMOVED. After 2 years of using various beta versions of the website I now decided to move on to Wordpress as I don’t have time to update my own developed code and since Wordpress offers so many cool features you’re now looking at the WP template

Step by step stuff may change further, but for now I’ll focus on content, categories etc and maybe some nice stuff.

Meanwhile feel free to follow me on Twitter as I’ll post great articles found on other websites, cool marketing news and other stuff on my Twitter account!

Update: the old site will be removed, it’s now redeveloped to permanently move pages from search engines to the correct new pages. Old website has been translated 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!

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?

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?

Missing results of Google were formerly what serge, rags text and many witruimte. Does with universal search become would be able to let see the all a to pieces weller, but how the being as your sterretjes in your own results?

As it appears not only or your website a toprating gets, but you fall also yet once on through the beautiful sterretjes. I took the proof on the sum and yes hear, it works!

I saw Test want to see this last in an article on SEOMoz true Google by the missing results of the seeking to Craft Dummies the site with sterretjes in the description of the site. I found it well nice and have this also once tried by my own site.

Through the use of the ASCII code of a star crack (★) in your description tag will the spiders this indices and nicely reproduce in the results. You go find now thus on missing to Tim Huijbers via Google then you in my description, originating from the description tag, thus a ★ in the result.

I ask myself mainly finished or this the attention will pull of men that seek via missing machines and or it perhaps yet more ASCII codes to use be, I have such suspect of well and go it also certainly try!

Have you also experience with mad signs in the missing machine results, late then you link behind for I very have been aroused curiosity how this from it sees!

Update: Yes want to work, hearts also!

In part 3 of this series over the characterizing of yourself on internet, either online personal surf, I go to set again further at the same time a number of tips and experiences yourself positive on the card, to understand the internet-card well.

Might personal surf new for you be, read Present then also even part 1 over Online Personal Surf – yourself on internet and part 2 with a continuation thereupon over Online Personal Surf (part 2).

Firstly I want want to return yet just on a beautiful definition and definition of personal surf on Carriertijger. nl. According to their is personal surf:

Yourself present as a brand at others, by which you depict positive and associates calls up..

You must thus difference take advantage in who you are through to make of your knowledge and experience and through the putting in of your personality. With this can your colleagues, friends, customers and employers let see who you are and for which your state. Especially now men fast can seek who you are and what you do (for instance via Wieowie. nl, can you almost no longer without a good profilering of yourself, or in every case a checked profilering.

They come then also on the abc for personal surf:
* Separately – you Dare to distinguish of the rest
* Trustworthy – Care for a constant factor on which men can build
* Congruent – Agreement in the things that you do

These count compete all also for online personal surf. In the previous parts, you wanted to come of this already much past. In the pieces saw your information over how you you must distinguish to respect of the rest, you saw how your agreement gets in the information that offered becomes and how a trustworthy radiation and professional radiation can be created.,

The advantage of internet is that we burst of the networks and the possibilities round these out to knit. Next that we our networks via sites as Hyves (informal, social) as via LinkedIn (centering, concise) or on comparable sites uitbereiden, can you yourself also characterize via networks of sites as Nujij and eKudos. They offer in such a way the possibility round next to the seeking and mail of nieuwsitems, interest groups on to set, by which you each other news easily can read, (and each other naturally vote can give). Also with this bring prevent you your name a stiff further in the internet world.

Yet weller be will the information than all that social media sites normally that you set must now everywhere on and must divide with friends, in 1 slap can divide. Her is meanwhile well an engelstalige tool for, namely Noserub, these have I self however not yet tested.

Otherwise you can find a beautiful survey of social media sites from the Netherlands you on Monlog.

Until end over digital networks have you also yet Twitter of which you fast once in a while heard have, I get well how you also this would be able to put in as online personal surf, but I find Twitter irritating and vague, happy am I not the only!

What concerned personal surf in its generality appeared there such other half soak ago an article over Putting Your Best Cyberface Forward by which they also enter into the letting see of you digital I, how present you yourself on the internet. Probably has the editing a Dutchman in service that my article Online Personal Surf – Present yourself on internet just read had;)

The article goes over the fact, that we actual every day already at profilering do, we want us always already distinguish. Do not be it through us work, is then the well through our behavior or even our appearance.

It goes around all the perception through others, how sees one us. Does this not become however on internet a to pieces with difficulty, first impressions become quite different than one you see, but clicks on the first result in Google, would think what you as you for instance on my name Tim Huijbers googled?

It stretch yet best difference in how one this takes, for according to Mark R. Leary (doctor Psychology) its there men that right look at what one want to see, which target group want you reach. Also its there men that just look at where she in want to be and let these points right see. For my feeling is a combi of both the best, use your strong sides and speak the target group at that you want reach.

Is it must go honestly be well with difficulty how far you in it, lie when you over particular knowledge and knowledge and when it is yet the truth (late stand credible)? There are men that join with all hypes, the newest hippe applicaties of Hyves put in, self the Matrix, Tom Cruise or beauty Queen Beyonce name, but what are she in reality?

Ups and downs to my opinion in honest in the things that your online says, does and writes. Naturally its positive experiences tremendously made much of and are enclosed is negative points a little bit, but that then also a part of your online personal surf, or impression management. It is also the intention there good out to see, to let see for which you stand and what you gladly does. How your men can help, wants help and with which this would can. A little bit over the top may fall then also, but there not over!

The article ends to fit with the tip your profilering per target group on, but actual you do this by itself. You most place after all your photograph in 3-delig do not seize set as a profile photograph on Hyves, you not your photograph with you as winning chess-champion on Lexa and your move certainly no coole beach photograph on your LinkedIn. Well has the article resemble in the idea that your relevance information must let see at the target group. Ups and downs thus selective in the information that you want to see and late this depend of the target group that it reads or the target for which it serves.

Until ends over the article is an amusing quote of Paris Hilton well nice. As see you that they rather over other men back itself characterizes then own qualities to use, although, perhaps is this well usual a (slechte).. quality of her:

“All you property of to Thu in life is go harden closed out with your friends, party and twice axis good”

Update 15/1/2007
