... nothing happened :(
I had 'begged' some people (a strange mixture of colleagues, old friends and even a competitor) to endorse me, because that was the last thing missing for a 100% profile. It's in my nature to want this kind of things 'completed'.
Two endorsements were added (and must say I'm blushing reading them), thanks Flo & Tom.
The bad news? Well I hoped some kind of Aladin's cave would open up, with all kinds of goodies, but nothing of all that. It was worth trying ;)
The first milestone has been reached, without too much pain I must say. Thanks to Head Sales Weasel Lédidie for the tips (like: replace a quick sandwich with a bowl of veggie soup and two meat balls ...).
Does fatblogging help? Yes, earlier this week I was at (another) event and I stayed low on the drinks and buffet because two of my readers came to me to ask "How's the diet going?" ...
Just replaced my Frappr map in the sidebar with Twitter friends. The map wasn't moving too much, so no real use anymore. And this is a new attempt to get into twitting ...
Next week on July 3rd I'm speaking at an IAB breakfast about Podcasting. My part is a strategic reflection about how to integrate podcasting in your marketing plan.
This is really my cup of tea, although I must say I don't have the presentation fixed and ready on my MacBook today. Since I launched the first commercial podcast for Eurostar in 2005 a lot has changed. A major one is the fact that nobody really succeeded in getting (popular) music in podcasts (due to rights issues), which re-boosted streaming music as an alternative. Anyway, I guess tonight will be dedicated to mixing and mashing all I know about podcasts and marketing in a cool presentation. Feel free to post some relevant links here :)
Other speaker are: Pierre Dubois (RTBF), Marianne Edlund and Olivier De Doncker (Emakina).
I got in a new "thought-provoking" book in yesterday: "The Cult of the Amateur" How today's internet is killing our culture and assaulting our economy.
Yesterday evening I started reading and it's fascinating how one gets sucked into the book. You get a mix of two feelings: Recognition, like "yeah, he may have a point here" and Indignation, like "Wrong, wrong, he's got it all wrong".
This must by why everybody seems to call it "thought-provoking" and "provative". Finally a business book that is really engaging, rather then just an interesting read.
