Alexandra is turning 27 today - so Happy Birthday to my dearest friend in Hamburg!
This is what you look like right now. But I’m guessing that this is about to change as we consume more content via smartphones and tablet computers.
Interesting side-fact is, a lot of people seem to be left-handed too. At least I am.
Mom, thanks for bringing me into a world where love can be expressed electronically.
Happy Mother’s Day, Mum!
Greta and I had some ideas for tonight’s photo booth action. As you can not see, it worked out. Best thing was the reaction by people surrounding the photo booth.
I already put it into #design, but for all of you, who aren’t following this tag, also a reblog.
“Fall into holes that you have to crawl out of.” Mario Hugo featured in the latest ADC Young Guns video series! Great to put a face to the name!
Business Class: Freemium for News? ↩
I read this article by Oliver Reichenstein from InformationArchitects this morning. I read it again in the evening, and even a third time just a few minutes ago. I recommend you reading it too. And all journalists, people working ‘with media’ and especially those, who are riddling for years about monetarizing their content, instead of thinking out of the box:
I had a perspective changing talk on the subject of pay walls with the chief executive of a big publishing company (no, I can’t tell you who). He asked me what I think about pay walls. I told him what I always say: The main currency of news sites is attention and not dollars and that I believe that it is his job, as a publisher, to turn that attention into money to keep the attention machine running. He nodded and made the following, astonishing statement:
I can’t see pay walls working out either. But we need to do something before we lose all of our current subscribers. Sure. It’s a tough business environment, but… But the flight industry is a tough environment too, and they found ways. So tell me: Why do people fly Business Class? In the end, an airplane brings me to the same place regardless of whether I fly Economy or Business Class and the massive price-increase I pay doesn’t compare the difference in value.
