Globalization, and the responsibility of companies

Well, I´ve just found this intersting post on worthwile.com and it fits to an article I´ve read in the financial times about Siemens CEO „von Pierer“ speaking in front of the UN, about it´s role and economical possibilities in iraq (unfortunately it´s not online): The responsibility of companies in third world countries is to make…

Suceeding strategies

This article on fastcompany has some very interesting examples on how companies suceeded to broaden their customer-base, to broaden their market. One main aspect is to change your view from inside-outside (what can I do for the market?) to outside-inside (what wants the customer, how can I serve him). I think this article is quite…

Froogle

It looks as if google really wants to make itself a new kind of protal. Maybe I`m late, but I hadn`t heard of f r o o g l e yet!!! It´s a service which seems to compare prices etc. Will keep my eye on it, because I see a big potential in that business…

Emerging Democracy: A question of transparency?

I had a very interesting e-mail conversation with Micah Sifry, about emerging democracy, and the power of blogs e.g. during the Dean campaign. We were quite controverse in the question how to deliver content to „the masses“ and back to the politicians, and how it would change democracy: In my opinion one has to get…

Spam in my Weblog

Well, it´s quite interesting to see, that the comment-spam in my weblog concentrates on several keywords in my entries.

Based on this article it looks, as if Six Apart, producer of the major blogging-systems Movabletype and Typepad is going to introduce a new system, where you will get a central…

Designers truth

This is why designers are mostly negatively compared with „artists“, and some do feel like that. I mostly like the last point: The rest of the world counts. That´s what designer really have to focus on in order to be really successful. And as typographie-guru Wolfgang Beinert teached us, it`s the most important point to…

Back home

Dears, I´m back in cologne, and I´ve to say, the days in munich were just great, though the town itself is not of my „gusto“: everything is very strict, a lot of policeman on the streets, and everything is „clean“. We really had a great time, staying at our friends house (thanks again a lot…

OFF TO MUNICH
