The Worst Product Name Ever: WTF

Wednesday, January 31st, 2007

I don’t want to know who of the Technorati employees got the idea to call their new service (comparable to Digg) WTF. Even if it means “Where’s the fire?” instead of “Who the fuck”, it’s a very “successful” name. It was live for a short moment, but is currently down.

Immigration

Wednesday, January 31st, 2007

We had to write about “Immigration” today in English. I wrote a text and got a ‘+’ for it. So I want to show it to you.. It’s my opinion about these sensitive subject:

I love to talk to people from other European countries. And I like people from North America and Asia. And sometimes I like the funny accent of the migrants, but I know that it’s not funny in fact. I think I also have an accent when I’m speaking other languages.

But I think people who don’t speak any German word even when they are in Germany for a couple of years are not in the right country. 

CeBIT & WeblogCamp

Tuesday, January 30th, 2007

If you want to see my live, you can realize that on this years CeBIT in March. I’ll be there at least on the weekend. Saturday with a friend and on Sunday I’ll be a attendee of the WeblogCamp, which is a kind of BarCamp. You can find more information about it here, but it is German-only.

They’ll talk about how to earn money by blogging and many other interesting things about blogs.

Btw. Don’t hesitate to “react”, when you see me at the Camp or at CeBIT ;-).

LinkedIn’s worth is $250 Million. Nico Lumma wrote on his blog:

I don’t understand why they get Venture Capital when they are preparing an IPO.
