Another hot day in Greece!

Hittegolf over gans Griekenland, dus ook over de eilanden aan de Oostkust. 36 graden en gevoelsmatig nog wat meer door hoge luchtvochtigheid. Maarwe klagen niet, we hebben het alleen warm. Water...

Als haringen in een ton: ons laatste uitstapje!

Neckermans afgevaardigen in Santorini hebben wel een heel eigen invulling van het aantal deelnemers op een botrondtocht van het eiland. Zeker vijf bussen op een boot geeft dan ook dit beeld.

Weekje verlof en geen 'werk'zorgen. Everything OK!

Dit was ergens een onderlegger in een wegrestaurant een paar weken geleden!

Next10: Memonic wants to kill "copy-paste", closes Angel funding

closes-angel-funding/

Swiss start-up Memonic lets users to select and collect snippets of
websites, documents, and pictures on the web and any offline content for
later use. The Swiss startup will launch a new collaboration feature in the coming
months that will enable the user to retrieve information anywhere. It is
stored at Memonic, which makes it independent of its original source. So if
you need the information, lets say, 6 months later, snippets can be shared,
sent, etc. "In the last years new technologies have sparked an explosion of
published information. This in turn lead to great developments in the
creation and searching of information. What we are missing though is an
effective tool to capture the relevant information and actually work with
it", says co-founder and CEO Selz, who is spearheading the team of six.
Co-founder and system admin Birrer adds "We want to make your life easier by
allowing you to save time when you compile information." The team's main
motivation is to kill nitty gritty copy and paste work that is not only time
consuming but also often a one time effort. Besides their iPhone client,
Memonic is working on releasing a Windows clipper that allow users to
extract information from any document that can be opened on a Windows PC.
"No matter where you can see any type of content you should be able to
capture it and work with it" says Birrer. Clipped content can also be
exported to a user's own website, blog or shared via Facebook, Twitter, and
email. Currently Memonic is preparing the launch of a WordPress plug-in that
integrates Memonic stored content with the WordPress interface. Memonic is
making a global play and has versions of its site in English, German,
Spanish, and Italian. Russian, Ukrainian, Chinese and even Hindi versions
will be released soon. All localization is done through crowd sourced
volunteers. Just in the last couple of days Memonic has closed an angel
funding round of 1 million CHF (800k EUR) to finance their expansion. To
enable the expansion they also started a new hiring campaign to attract more
people to their Zurich, Switzerland office.

Don't Worry, It Doesn't Matter How Many Twitter Followers You Have

http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/OmMalik/~3/y144CAAU8OE/

If you're the type to measure your self-worth by how many people follow you
on Twitter - and perhaps more importantly, who - this morning was rather
exciting. Gizmodo published directions for a simple way to make other
Twitterers follow your account, resulting in some users gleefully playing
with the loophole to make it look as if they were tight with the likes of
Ashton Kutcher and even Jesus. Twitter's clunky way of fixing the problem
included temporarily resetting follower counts to zero, which set off
additional squeals of protest from from the navel-gazers. There's little
overlap between the different types of influential users on Twitter.
(Indegree refers to # of followers.) But does your number of followers
actually matter? It's worth full to read and reread this article, cause it's a little bit
hard to understand, but there is a nice link to Klout which gives
information in a nice way
