Human or out

December 20, 2010

One out of 12 humans are on Facebook. Now every company targeting humans wants in. But we went there attracted by the human part of it. And companies came with targets on their mind.

News is like junk food

October 7, 2010

I don’t read a lot of newspapers anymore. There are two major problems with the concept; news and paper: Paper is the no brainer. It’s simply not as good distributor as digital.
