  • Musk puts Twitter-Acquisition on hold.

    Elon musk announced – on Twitter – the deal is put on hold. The entire story becomes an endless drama, keeping the company in the news and investors on distance. The entire acquisition plan didn’t make economic sense for the Tesla and SpaceX founder in first place, now the hold is a disaster for the Twitter and its previous owners.

    Twitter deal temporarily on hold pending details supporting calculation that spam/fake accounts do indeed represent less than 5% of usershttps://t.co/Y2t0QMuuyn

  • How do consumers feel about the metaverse?

    The Metaverse is a hyped place for a while now. The company formally known as Facebook made the Metaverse its single purpose, with such dedication it even changed it name. With web3 and blockchain and NFTs the Metaverse penetrates all aspects of online (and offline) life. Still, many consumers ask themselves, what tf is the Metaverse in first place. Digiday attaches a few numbers to that feeling.

  • On this day, 10 years ago, Facebook acquires Instagram

    We all remember how Facebook acquired Instagram for a whole billion of Dollars. An incredible amount for a Internet Service at the time it happened. Of course the event was debated controversial. Still, it is one of the biggest success stories of Big Tech.

    Instagram is a photo service in a sea of other photo services. Photography has been around on the web in meaningful ways for a long time. Flickr lost out to Facebook in the community stakes, and Instagram is doing great in whatever-the-fuck market it’s in (the share-to-my-twitter-followers market?), but this is not Google acquiring YouTube.

  • Virtual Hollywood

    Only yesterday we ran a show with our Head of Experience Technology to discuss how knowledge work did and will evolve. Of course, most people in this industry only need to have their notebook with them, eventually a good WiFi Connection. Some of the procedures are difficult to comprehend for other industries, in particular those that require physical presence. Shooting a movie, in my imagination, is one of those places that makes it necessary for people to gather, in particular in front of a camera.

    Still, the future of work is coming to Hollywood, too, which I take as a great symbol.

    A film shoot across multiple studios, without any green screens? Thanks to LED walls, decentralized production is now a real possibility.

  • The Ideal Amount of Time Office for Maximum Engagement

    Employee engagement suffers ever since the pandemic mandated home office for a huge chunk of the workforce. Smart scheduling software company Clockwise surveyed more than 1000 knowledge workers. Results hint at an optimal mix for best possible employee engagement.

    From empiric observation, employee engagement has other factors that weigh heavy. In particular larger organisations with multiple locations face risk to detach employees by organisation. The physical office still needs organisational peers to show the above effect.

  • Facebook allows war posts urging violence against Russian invaders

    Seeing Meta’s Instagram and Facebook platforms to allow users in some countries to call for violence against Russians and Russian soldiers in the context of the Ukraine invasion is one of the most dystopian news of the past months. The company has been criticised for fueling hatred and hate speech, even with previous policies.
