I get my social media streams funneled into my brain through five screens. Content comes in swiftly at a nice steady rate of about a tweet/post/second. Do not worry. If your content is remotely interesting, challenging, funny, edgy, groundbreaking or special… I will notice. I have a decent, well-equipped army of filters, aggregators, spam detectors …
I recently bought a splendid 200 year old dusty leather bound edition of William Shakespeare. Nicely in time for the cold winter evenings. I can already see myself in my beloved Corbusier long chair, sipping some old Saint Estephe (a Château Phélan Ségur will do), listening to some jazz… and reading those mighty old verses. …
Guy Kawasaki pointed me to a brand new profession Chief Listener. Forget the fuzzy sweater, the inviting divan or the steaming pot of tea near the cozy fireplace. A Chief Listener listens online, looking if the brand that pays him/her gets mentioned somewhere. Lately online titles crack me up. Browsing through twitter biographies I find …

Dariusz Szwast, Kacper’s dad, is planning to run 750km (465 miles) across …
Here is me talking on Studio Brussel about Belgian politicians and their social media behavior 🙂 To listen, click on the image below (Dutch only, sorry guys!).
I can feel your pain. Your teenager is a total weirdo, with wrong hair, beginning acne, white earbuds plugged in securely in its pointy ears. “It” eats no meat, and gazes all day to a computer screen while texting friends. No worries. You’re fine. The fruit of your love is not turning into a lonely socially …
Since people follow me in (in? through? on?) Social Media, life becomes increasingly complicated. O yes, facing multiple ethical dilemmas here.
