Recently I found myself thinking about the noisy minority of early adopters and their (not always) latent snobbery and cult or new news. What really makes me tick these days are big brands that get it. It so easy to ‘get it’ when you’re small, young business/brand but somehow the bigger you are the harder [...]
This is NOT a ‘trends in digital’ kind of post. It’s just a quick observation on the state of the industry. So what can we expect from 2010? Not much I’m afraid. It seems like 2009 was the year that the industry really started to contract (it started before, of course, but became much more [...]

So streams are the new darling. So says Twitter. There is something very seductive in the evolution of streams as well as the evolution of the discourse around streams. It’s fallacy is the usual early-adopters twitter-centric outlook that tends to categorically ditch the old world and embrace the new but if you read through the [...]
It’s this time of the year… New year’s trends lists are the currency of the moment, and every blogger and his sister compile a knowledgeable trends list for 2010. The world doesn’t really need another one from me. So instead I’d like to talk about one trend which we should try to avoid in the [...]
