Domino’s Pizza has just launched its official iPad app on the UK App Store. With some swipes pizza lovers can now order their favorite pizza, pay for it and sit down relaxed knowing their pizza will arrive soon. Curious where your pizza is? No worries, you can track it while it’s on its way from the store to your house. The good-looking iPad app is a nice addition to the already existing iPhone and Android apps of the company’s American counterpart. Unfortunately, these apps are only available either in the UK or the US, all other pizza lovers will still have to find other ways to order. [Read more...]
Did you realize “we” don’t trust advertisements anymore? Only about 14% of consumers still trust them. The majority relies on their peer’s opinion before they will buy something. A trend defined before as “The Groundswell“. The best way to stimulate peer recommendations is word of mouth. But for marketeers this is hard to handle. Social media provide us a way to stimulate and even monitor this word of mouth process to a certain extend. The Social Media Revolution 2011 movie by Erik Qualman, writer of the best selling book “Socialnomics“, shows us the current status. It’s a great update of his previous video’s which you can find on the Socialnomics YouTube channel.

When someone is having a phone call in a public area we in general don’t like this. Compared to this, communicating by social networks is a lot better, less noisy.
But social media can be a bit to attention consuming. It happens too me as well.
Agile is hot, waterfall is over. At least, that seems to be the leading opinion in the IT world. How Agile are you? Do you still develop in the traditional way, trying to specify every detail upfront? Or do you realize it’s not possible and just too costly to specify everything upfront? Today I read an article on a Dutch blog (in Dutch) stating that an Agile way of working suits the needs of young IT people (Gen Y) best. If this is the case it would be a major reason to choose for Agile development due to the simple fact it’s rather hard to find good people. Does this mean is the whole grale for IT? And will Gen X (project) managers be able to handle?
Some weeks ago I attended a meeting with Burton Lee, a Stanford University professor and Super Angel, who visited Poland. I was lucky to be present at a very intimate presentation and discussion with him in Gdynia. With the characteristic pride of an American he explained why Europe is legging behind and why this is probably not even going to change. But something will have to change if we don’t want the US, India and China to rule the world. Both entrepreneurship and research should lead to the European recovery. [Read more...]
For years Nokia was the leading mobile brand without any doubt. This has changed dramatically once the Smartphones got introduced. Android and iPhone are step by step increasing their market share. The biggest looser seems Nokia. I used to be a 100% Nokia addict and didn’t want to use any other phone. But Nokia didn’t seem to realize the impact of mobile internet on time. Research in Motion (RIM, BlackBerry) is slightly loosing market share as well.
