As an Ajax- or Leeds fan you just have to love YouTube

Category:Video Tags : 

Last week at Search Engine Strategies late at night in the pub Dave Naylor suddenly looked at his phone and looked sad. When I asked him what the matter was he told me his favorite football club Leeds United had just lost to Wallsall. In the First English Division. Leeds once was one of the leading clubs in English Football, being champions ‘only’ back in 1992, when Eric Cantona played in Leeds.

Dave and I talked a little about the football as I am a big Ajax-fan. Now Ajax has always been one of the leading clubs in Europe, but the last decade it has declined rapidly with the last championship in 2004. “Where are the days you could watch a game, sit back and know they will win” I said to Dave. Those days are gone. Tonight Ajax plays Juventus in the Europa League. With a 1-2 loss last week at home chances are they will be out of the cup by the end of the evening.

But as an Ajax- or Leeds fan luckily there is YouTube. The video-channel from Google. Although some Italian judges might ‘kill’ the website if they get there way with the conviction of some Google-bosses in Italy over a video, the site (for now) is a huge resource of historical material. And you can be back in those successful 90s within seconds.

Ten things we can learn from… Going on a holiday

Category:Headline,Projectmanagement Tags : 
[lang_nl]Ik ben net terug van twee weken vakantie. Helemaal (nou ja bijna helemaal) offline geweest. Dat kan erg lekker zijn. En je doet er goede ideeën op. En sommige dingen vallen op. Zo viel me als projectmanager van internetprojecten weer eens op dat projectmanagement overal terugkomt. Niet alleen bij de bouw van een internetsite. Projectmanagement is bijvoorbeeld ook het goed managen van een vakantie. Regel je je zaakjes niet goed zal je vakantie tegenvallen. Regel je het wel goed heb je een leuke vakantie.

Ik ben dus net terug van vakantie. Het was heerlijk, maar op een aantal dingen had ik mijn ‘projectmanagement’ misschien wat beter kunnen doen. Ik kwam tot tien dingen die je kan leren van op vakantie gaan die gerelateerd zijn aan het projectmanagement rondom de bouw van een internetsite.[/lang_nl][lang_en]I just returned from two weeks holiday. Completely (well almost) offline. That can be very relaxing. You think of some good ideas and some things stand out. For example, I noticed as project manager of Internet, once again, that project management is everywhere. Not only in constructing a website. Project Management, for example, is also the proper management of a holiday. If you don’t manage your things your holiday will be a disaster. Manage it really good and you’ll have a great holiday.

So I just got back from holiday. It was delicious, but on a number of things I maybe should have done my ‘project management’ better. Therefore I came up with ten things you can learn from going on holiday related to project management around the construction of an Internet site:[/lang_en]

The internet subway map

Category:explained Tags : 

Again proof of what a good source the Cowboys and Cowgirls are. Two postings (you can’t call them articles 😉 ) with reference to these sites. Now its the Dutch Cowgirls‘ turn. Through that site I found this picture. This map is based on a subway-map and gives a great view of the curren internet Web Trends. And then especially all the different companies that play a big role. Very nice to look at and to get the big picture
