What’s Been Going On

21 May 2005

I’ve been doing some projects for school in the last couple of days. We’ve had our final presentation for our campaign in the presence of our client and some other jury members. Everything went really smooth, we’ve introduced the new logo, the campaign itself and we’ve explained our methods and predictions, based on our thorough research, polls and surveys. Points gathered, onward my brave soldiers ! The rest of the world hasn’t stopped turning, so here’s what I didn’t blog yet but think you should know.

NATHAN GOES SYNDICATE

So Nathan Weinberg from BlogNewsChannel got invited to the Syndicate Conference and has some really interesting posts about what has been said there. I’m going to filter some things out in my next post, but I think you should read all of his posts first. So, in order of appearance :

Media RSS and Podcasting
Keynote : Phil Holden on MSN
Case studies on blogging in the corporate world
RSS Market intelligence and lead generation
Wrapping up

GOOGLE PERSONALIZED

Also, from now on you can make Google more personal and smutter the cool white page that really loads fast with tons of stuff you could just type in the searchbar to find. So God knows why you would do this, but hey… some people apparently asked for it. So go ahead, indulge yourself. Bulk it up with all types of extras.

This is how it looks like : Daub Google Here -

You can personalize and fine-tune ‘your’ Google by signing in.YES YOU’VE HEARD IT RIGHT. BY SIGNING IN. Which brings us back to the entire privacy matter and the fact they can totally link your user profile to your surfing behaviour. I’m not into this. I like my Google the way it came. White, clean and fast. Without logins and extras. Tssss. I might look and act stupid, that doesn’t mean I am. Thumbs down on this product. Somebody, release the lions !

FEEDMAP ONLINE

Welcome to BlogMap – a place where blogs meet maps and location!

Philipp Lenssen from GoogleBlogoscoped posted a cool thing. Now you can track Bloggers in your neighbourhood. Nice social twist to this plot. Plus it’s really cool to see Microsoft Mappoint and geo-location tags get this work done.

Here’s my FeedMap :

Lot of people, so it seems, but many of them are just numb MSN Spaces.
A few cool ones to check out – you should check out the others too, if you understand any flemish at all, but it’s not the link-o-rama here – so :

*** Baeke.info
*** TriangleJuiceBlog
*** B2BeMailMarketing
*** Sken (dutch)

To be a bit more clear : I’m located under the red square that’s on the left top side of the Coolz0r display. :) Tea or coffee if you get here.
