Zaterdag is een prima dag voor wat leeswerk. Het grote technologienieuws afgelopen week was Google Glass, wat binnenkort publiek beschikbaar is. Daarom drie artikelen met drie standpunten rondom deze belangrijke innovatie. En nog veel meer! Veel leesplezier
-
Not On My Face – “This isn’t Google responding to the iPhone and iPad like they did with Android. Glass is is clearly something the guys at Google are excited about. And they don’t care what anyone else thinks. They really seem passionate about Glass. I can respect that.”
-
The Place Where Ideas Are Made – “In many respects, Google Glass is the manifestation of the Google we’ve all loved at some point in our lives. It’s technology borne out of a crazy notion and it affably lacks the typical characteristics of the “Next Big Thing” in the marketplace. It’s simply an auspicious and exciting experiment that Google wishes to share with the world.”

[I used Google Glass: the future, with monthly updates The Verge](http://www.theverge.com/2013/2/22/4013406/i-used-google-glass-its-the-future-with-monthly-updates) – “As soon as we got inside however, the employees at Starbucks asked us to stop filming. Sure, no problem. But I kept the Glass’ video recorder going, all the way through my order and getting my coffee.” -
Is a famous thinker better than a great one? – “Branding started with pottery, beer and biscuits. Now it effects the way we think about ideas, people and even science. Buyer beware.”
-
Design Dictatorship – Daily Exhaust – “Magazines need to let go of the idea that they can dictate 100% of a reader’s experience. I know that, to them, that makes no sense. But refusing to embrace change does not make it go away. It just makes the inevitable transition harder.”
-
Boekeman – Het gevecht dat je zult moeten voeren – “Dat is dus iets wat we ons (opnieuw) moeten beseffen, beter zullen moeten uitdragen en beter moeten zien te benutten: de kracht van het verhaal.”
-
Pinterest May Be Bigger Than You Think, Competing To Be The 2nd Most Popular Social Network – The Huffington Post– “It’s a huge statement for Pinterest to be just one percent behind Twitter in terms of users.”
- Guy Kawasaki’s Top Tips for Authors – “Een video-interview met Rafe Needleman van plm 40 minuten over auteurschap en schrijven. En Evernote natuurlijk.”
Tenslotte een betaald podcast/blog abonnement wat ik je van harte aanraad. Ik ben er nu zo’n half jaar lid en ik geniet van de dagelijkse kleine podcasts van Shawn.
- The 2013 Membership Drive — Shawn Blanc – “It’s been two years since I quit my job and began writing shawnblanc.net as my full-time gig. It’s amazing how vividly I remember being scared out of my wits the morning I announced my intentions to take this site full time. It’s worked out well so far, and I have every intention of continuing.”
Fijn weekend!
