re:cap – 3 days of nerdiness // re:publica 13

After long 3 years abroad I finally made it back to one of the best conferences regarding 'online' ever. Yes, I said it. One of the best conferences. It was and still is. The reason why I consider it a great conference is, however, not only a blessing. It's also a curse. It's individual, broad, independent and not about business. It's not about 'how to increase your online ROI' or stuff like that. And that's cool. It opens your eyes. There's...

Confessions of a SEO teacher – My first year teaching SEO

Confessions of a SEO teacher – My first year teaching SEO

After finishing my first year as a University lecturer in Search Engine Optimization it's time to review some experiences. Learnings, findings & surprises paved the way throughout the first two semesters of University SEO. I taught 3rd and 4th year students of Information Communication Technology (ICT) and was, quite frankly, the first ICT lecturer who took a broader approach to teaching instead of just being focused on the pure coding aspect.   Lesson #1: Don't assume anything!  That's obviously not a new lesson...

WWE Wrestlemania 2013 Preview

WWE Wrestlemania 2013 Preview

Intercontinental Championship Match: Wade Barrett vs. The Miz Again a match a la the powerhouse vs the smart athlete. I have to say I couldn't care less. The Miz has some nice moves, Wade Barrett the power. I assume the figure four leg log will probably decide it in the end and The Miz finally gets his title back. Winner: The Miz   Ryback vs. Mark Henry I almost forgot about this match and after the incredibly predictable Bench Press Challenge I really don't care...

Great Twitter Response – Social Media Marketing done right.

Great Twitter Response – Social Media Marketing done right.

Today I came across a pretty good reply on twitter in terms of Social Media Marketing for businesses. The other day I asked if somebody on twitter has a recommendation for a place to stay in Berlin and today I received the following @reply: good twitter response They obviously are monitoring twitter for their keywords (Berlin, Stay, etc.) and then responded in a very personal way by showing me the result via individually shortened URL.

WWE Royal Rumble 2013 Preview

A few weeks ago I talked with my English students about their favorite TV shows. One of them mentioned the WWE and we started a discussion about past and current WWE (WWF) stars and whether or not WWE nowadays is cool. Despite the fact that I, of course, root for the old attitude era and my student for John Cena's PG era we both agreed on giving a preview to this years Royal Rumble that will take place on January...

When teachers act like students – role model teacher

When teachers act like students – role model teacher

…then I get pretty upset! This is just a short rant since I am still pretty angry about last weeks happenings. Some teachers simply told my students not to come to english class but to come to see them instead. Without telling me. Besides the fact that this is completely disrespectful and shows that they do not care about me as colleague or teacher I think it is totally out  [ Read More ]
