Looking for European Search Websites

Category:search Tags : 

SearchcowboysAs my loyal readers will know I am a fanatic blogger for Dutch Cowboys. And I also sometimes post a message on MobileCowboys and SearchCowboys…

Some ‘insiders’ know that my involvement with Dutch Cowboys is a little bit more than just blogging. I sometimes do some project management for the websites. And my involvement will only grow. I’m going to play a big part in the new version of SearchCowboys.

The current site will dissapear in this format. Instead we will develop a European SearchCowboys. An website written in English looking at search marketing with a focus on the European Market.

And I will play a big part in it… What kind of part? In any case the part of blogger and a little bit more.. I will get back on that in the coming weeks. For now I’m looking for your help. When I start blogging on www.searchcowboys.com I will need sources. I want to know what’s going on in the European Search Market.

Top five May 2008: A lot of search and online identity

Category:News Tags : 

Top vijf mei 2008The top five seemed to have died a silent death. Each week a post about my favorites ultimately proved not feasible. Not because there was nothing to write about, but because there are too many other subjects to write about. To get the top five breathing again I now give a monthly overview of five articles that struck me. Same principle, but only once a month.

In this first ‘new’ version much attention for search topics. We get a look behind the scenes at Google, learn how we should deal with large search projects and what search 4.0 is all about. Also we take a look at your online identity, but the number 1 is an overview like this, but a very special one.

1. Go Get This
Website: Marjolijn.net
You have many lists on the web. Lists such as the one you’re reading right now. But the ‘list’ on the website of Cowgirl Marjolijn I feel is very special. She wanted her own "favorites" for the month to be much more visual. And she succeeded in a very special way. I think definitely worth a number 1 spot. Go have a look!

Help Wanted on the new website of NetTraject (now in beta)

Category:Projectmanagement Tags : 

For some time I’ve been working on a new website for my company NetTraject. The old site has certainly had its benefits but is not anymore of this time. Not only the technology was outdated, especially the design was hopelessly outdated. Now there’s a new website, but I need the help of the visitors of this blog for the final step.

Influencing the public opinion via the Web: nothing new

Category:politics Tags : 
[lang_nl]Het beïnvloeden van berichtgeving om zelf in een beter daglicht te komen is al zo oud als de mensheid zelf. Eerder schreef ik in een post over mijn blog-inspiratie al over Plinius de Jongere die in de tijd van Pompeii ‘misschien’ wel aan geschiedsvervalsing deed. Nu leek de SP aan de beurt. Zij werden door een anti-SP blog ‘betrapt’ op het aanpassen van foto’s. Maar wie nou degene was die het beïnvloeden deed bleef onduidelijk. Politiek 2.0 of van alle tijden?

Al op de middelbare school kreeg ik het voorbeeld voorgeschoteld wat ik in mijn geschiedenisstudie later meerdere keren mee kreeg: de foto van Trotski. Op een foto van een sprekende Lenin figureerde ook Trotski. Deze kwam later tijdens het Stalinisme recht tegenover de machthebbers te staan. Die (Stalin) verwijderden Trotski simpelweg van de foto. Zo werd de geschiedenis gemanipuleerd.[/lang_nl] [lang_en]Influencing news to get better reviews yourself, is as old as humanity itself. Before I wrote in a post about my blog inspiration about Plinius the Younger, who in the days of Pompeii "maybe" tried to influence the course of history. Now it seemed the turn for the Dutch political party SP to get a bad review. They were ‘caught’ by an anti-SP blog on adjusting photographs. But who really was the person who did the influencing remained unclear. Politics 2.0 or just something from every century?

Already in high school, I got the example I got presented in my college several times: the “Trotsky picture”. On a photograph of a speaking Lenin you could also see Trotsky. When Trostky was no longer a friend but an enemy for the reigning power they (Stalin) simply removed Trotsky from the picture. That way manipulating history.[/lang_en]
