Nils Maier’s Weblog

Recently, I have been researching a lot about mobile apps and the possible fields of application. Day by day I am becoming more and more amazed about the possibilities and what will come up in the next few months.

Here is a little example. I am lying on the couch and trying out mynew wordpress app for the iPhone. Within 2 min I was connected to my Blog, could edit the comments and write this article. Cool! I love it!

iPhone app recommendation of the day: wordpress App.

Since there isn’t that much out there yet (Yes Dirk! iPhone-Fan.de) I will post once in a while something I really enjoyed.

This morning trendquest published a video from mediaconvergence.economist.com in their blog I really enjoyed. “Did you know 4.0″ with the latest numbers of the internet and social media use.

Here for anyone who hasn’t seen it yet:

“Did you know 4.0″

Somehow I missed the first movie “Did you know 2.0″ with more than 3,6 million views which is great as well:

“Did you know 2.0″

Yesterday I was talking with Silke Wieland, social media expert at siemens, about the variety of Twitter clients out there and she was told about the Twitterverse. Somehow I totally missed out on that. One of my favorite social media guys scored again…

The Twitterverse by Jess3 & Brian Solis.

I just saw this video again and it thrilled me for the third time. That’s why I put on my blog now.

Well, now it’s the first time that Twitter is completly unavailable. First I thought Cotweet is having problems again, no Twitter is gone…what happend? Mashable didn’t write anything yet (probably still sleeping), but I am sure there will come something up.

Now let’s all imagine Twitter will never be online again? What’s going to happen?

- Nothing would happen because the mainstream still doesn’t get why we are on Twitter or what it is
- 25% less posts on Mashable and Techcrunch
- Fastest new Social Media trends in Social Media history would come up
- Copycats would come up with the same idea
- My colleague “you would be unemployed”

What do you think would happen if Twitter disappears from one day to another?

Mashable woke up (link)

Oh no, facebook is making problems now as well…

By the way, Mashable initiated the crash with their crappy Twitter guidlines presentation on slideshare!!! (link)

History:
Serious Twitter Outage Ongoing, Denial Of Service Attack (Updated)
Oooh Dramatic! Twitter Get’s DDOSed
Twitter Down Due to Denial of Service Attack (DDoS)

Studien über Studien. Hier gleich noch die nagelneue Wave 4 von UniversalMcCann:

Nachdem das Thema Twitter gerade in aller Munde ist, hier noch mal die brandneuen Twitter Guidelines von Mashable.

Das Handling ist ein wenig komisch. Man kann nicht die Dokumente auf ein Mal öffnen oder abspeichern. Es sind 8 einzelne Dokumente, die man mit Rechtsklick öffnen kann. Viel Spaß damit!

In diesem Zuge wollte ich auch auf den Wettbewerb von Adobe hinweisen “World’s Best Presentation Contest“

Ich habe schon eine ganze Weile nichts mehr von mir hören lassen, da ich mit Umzug und Einleben in meiner neuen Wahlheimat Freiburg ziemlich ausgelastet. Da wir bei Virtual Identity das Thema Social Media sehr intensiv behandeln wird auch in naher Zukunft meine Zeit für den Blog sehr eingeschränkt sein, aber ihr werdet es schon in eurem Feed-Reader oder über Twitter mitbekommen, wenns was Neues gibt. So, jetzt zu dem Grund warum ich kurzerhand wieder von mir hören lasse.

Ich habe vorhin von einer Kollegin einen tolle Slideshare Präsentation über Social Media bekommen, die ich ich auch hier mit euch teilen wollte.

Also, viel Spaß und ein schönes Wochenende!
