Discover Web2.0: a series of guest-lectures

Last Wednesday, I had the honor to present two fine gentlemen to the students of Communication, Multimedia Design at the Noordelijke Hogeschool Leeuwarden.

Marco Raaphorst presented on authenticity and using Web2.0-tools to further strengthen authenticity.

Andreas Creten (Lead developer for MynameisE) presented on using API’s and specifically Open Standards.

Next week, Polle de Maagt and Erwin Elling (Eight Media) will join me for the second series. Their slideshows will be added to the group for the series. You can find all of them in the widget below. Enjoy!

From mobile to sixth sense: Viva la Focus! 2009

Today I presented at Viva la Focus! 2009. I was invited based on my work for De Ondernemers BV, Lopend Vuur and my previous presentations on Web2.0.

This time, they asked if I could focus (…) on the role of the mobile phone. After kicking that request around a bit, I decided to compile a presentation that went beyond the influence of the mobile phone. In my view, the current version of the mobile phone is only an in-between one.

First: no more traditional channels

All regular channels, like newspapers, television and radio are fading. Instead of a committee deciding on what is suitable to present to you, the consumer, you and I are now making our own choices. Selecting from all the available content worldwide. The Internet is the big enabler behind this sea-change, making all kinds of content and information available within seconds.

Second: portable gear

There used to be one place in your house where information entered your world: the TV-set. Then we added a PC, which slowly started replacing the TV. Then we added a laptop computer, so we could take our information-tool with us on the road. We added wireless networks, and started using our mobile phones as information powerhouses. But still, we needed the mobile phone as a tool, a port to all that information online.

Beyond: smart objects and the sixth sense

Now we are starting to make objects smart, and adding intuitive interfaces to these objects. These allow us to create and find information even faster. And: more precise. We are turning tables into smart surfaces that recognize our equipment and allow for multi-touch handling of images etc. We are creating siftables, that can be whatever we want them to be. And we have found a way to create a real Sixth Sense, and make whatever additional information we require available in every situation.

My Point

As fun as mobile phones have become, we are still not even half way in realising the potential that lies in creating newer, faster and more intuitive ways of getting information right where and when we need it.

My slides (in Dutch) are below. This being the very first version of this story, it is still very much a work in progress, so please bear with me (or add any comments that you feel will help me) while I work on it to make it better!

Ondernemen in 3D (en 1 W)

Vandaag was de zesde editie van de Lifehacking Academy. Op eerdere edities had ik verschillende versies van mijn Web2.0/Communicatie2.0-lezing gehouden. Ondertussen waren er al veel meer mensen die al die mooie online tools uitleggen en dacht ik dat het tijd was voor een nieuw verhaal.

Zodoende woonden twintig mensen vandaag de premiere bij van ‘Ondernemen in 3D’, mijn adaptatie van Ritzo’s “Je Ding, Je Doosje en Je Dansje“. Oftewel: hoe ondernemen op zijn eenvoudigst uitgelegd kan worden.

De reacties waren positief. Uit de feedback van de toehoorders (die zich overigens niet onbetuigd lieten wanneer ik tussendoor vragen stelde, fijn!) kwam naar voren dat het een goed idee os om her en der nog wat cases toe te voegen, om de kwartjes helemaal perfect te laten landen, en dat het deel over Je Dans nog wel wat meer vulling mocht krijgen. Logisch, daar hoort natuurlijk toch dat Web2.0/Communicatie2.0-verhaal in te zitten… 😉


Disclaimer: leuke allitererende woorden gebruiken betekent natuurlijk niet dat je geen acht moet slaan op wat verstandige mensen over ondernemerschap te melden hebben. Maar dit was dan ook maar de korte, lifehacking-samenvatting.

Update: Erno Hannink was er ook, en filmde een groot deel van de presentatie:
