Summary Information Management setting the scene (Dutch)
Informatiemanagement is tegenwoordig gericht op het management van informatie, in plaats van het management van ICT of het management van business-ICT relaties.

Paul Beentjes finds an answer useful. What I like about Kroupys is that you can post a question or an idea right away, instead of postponing it until the next meeting or renouncing the thought.

|
Paul Beentjes finds an answer useful. I'm not sure, but are there no copyright issues or something with the use of the hashtag in that way by Facebook? I thought that Twitter 'invented' this way of categorizing. If that's the case, I doubt that Facebook is allowed to use it in… Read more. |

Paul Beentjes finds the learning-material "Science will provide Open Access on Web 2.0" useful. |
|
Paul Beentjes finds an answer useful. As you said, since parenting takes place in a social context, I think government has the right (and the duty) to promote positive social behaviours. It follows that government has to try to influence parenting. Nevertheless, in my view it is the approach that government takes that… Read more. |

Paul Beentjes commented on the learning-material "Web 2.0 and elections, democracy and egovernment": For this subject you should check out my Master thesis about eParticipation and Sensemaking.

Paul Beentjes finds an answer useful. Interesting topic. I think that every generation , as it grows older, will feel nostalic about the things they see disappear.

Paul Beentjes finds an answer useful. I think that on Twitter, your audience is potentially the whole twitterverse. It's important to keep this in mind when you tweet something, unless ofcourse you have a private account like Cindy. In that case, your audience is similar to the one you have on… Read more. |

Paul Beentjes finds an answer useful. Nature and nurture might heighten the probability of responses like certain behaviour, but then there's your shifting surrounding that forces you to adapt because of the unpredictability of one's surrounding. There's probably a lot of leeway in deciding how to act while adapting. This adaptation… Read more. |

Paul Beentjes finds an answer useful. Light is basically energy in the form of fotons. If you increase the amount of fotons (more energy transfered into fotons) and use fotons with an higher energy level (more blue than red), then you increase the amount of energy transfered. At certain levels it… Read more. |

Technocalyps is one of the most interesting documentaries I have seen in a while (see video in attachment). |
How do you feel about art history's new developments in media art, like digital art and internet based art? Do you regard it as a genre already or do you think art should stick to its traditions in painting and sculpture?
I think art is always developing and changing, and that's in my opinion the exciting part of it. I regard the new developments in media art, digital art and internet based art as described by you certainly as new genres. Personally I love the work of Marco Tempest. He is an award-winning cyber… |
Would you be willing to donate to Wikipedia in order for it to stay free and non-commercial?

Has anyone uploaded a meme yet? Here's my poor attempt. Hardly original, I know, but my cats help me think and make me laugh...
Already saw some nice memes posted at this question: http://www.kroupys.com/38526/Post-your-Meme-here-which-meme-makes-you-smile-the-most/ |
I was thinking about privacy issues and about that a lot of parents are posting loads of pictures (and videos) of their children on the internet. When these children are adults, it is likely that there are pictures of them floading around on the internet. But maybe these individuals do not want that. Do you think parents should critically think about this before posting? And what would be your opinion, if the e-generation had began earlier, and there would now be pictures of your first steps, you making funny faces or even a movie of you when your diaper got changed (seriously, I've seen it!) or you singing extremely out of tune?

How can an Individual come with new business idea which was not implemented before?
It depends on what kind of product or service you want to launch. But often the sooner you go to the market with your idea the better. This is also described in the Lean Startup Method coined by Eric Ries. As described on wikipedia (see link in attachment) the Lean… |
What is the best way to keep up to date of all things going on around my campus?
This really depends on the things you are talking about. For example, Facebook is a good platform to stay up to date about social campus stuff like student parties.

Business start up planning and execution
Hi Kojo, |
What is the best definition of the term 'new ownership' ?
We are already defining 'New Ownership' at another question on Kroupys. Please read the proposed definition and contribute via the following link: |
I'm looking for examples of 'new ownership' in traditional (and big) business (f.e. banking, high tech, food, et cetera). in the UK i know http://www.co-operative.coop/food/find-us/. but this company is already existing for decades. Thank you for contributing, Thijs
Nol, 'new ownership' is not necessarily about the general deployment of technology in order to meet business, social and environmental challenges, but it's about the shift from top down to bottom up and (internet) technology as a facilitator of this shift. I quote from the PICNIC website: |
how do you think Kroupys will impact scientific research communication?
Hi Zé Du, |

Hi Zé Du, |
What is New Ownership supposed to mean? Is it the new generation of entrepreneurs in the modern digital society or the ability of more and more people to drive change and to participate? Or even something totally different?
Laitenz, I think the theme 'New Ownership' is about the ability of more and more people to drive change and to participate. I quote from the website of PICNIC Festival: |

Hey Marieke, |
Patents, good or bad for innovation?
From the perspective of open innovation, you could state that patents are often holding back innovation. A large part of the patents which big multinationals own, are not used at all. So, this means that these patents are not representing any innovation, progress or value for society. Henry Chesbrough, the godfather of open innovation, argues… |
In a recent interview Peter Thiel gave the following comment: "We wanted flying cars, instead we got 140 characters". Do you agree with his sentiment that we have not set our sights high enough? If yes? Why?
I think in this case the "flying car" is just a methaphor for "setting high goals" as human beings. The sentiment is, in my opinion: |
If you were given a chance to go South China, what do you want to get from it?
Which South China cities are the best? And what's typical/special about these cities? |
What is the meaning of Success in your point of view ?
Success is a perception (or maybe a feeling) and therefore very subjective. It really depends on the person. I think somebody who is very ambitious, will always strive for more success in his or her live and therefore will maybe never feel successful. A person who has set lower goals in live, will maybe… |

Is social media the best way harvest customer information, or are more classic methods, like phone or email, more efficient?
It really depends on the targetgroup. When your customers are not participating on social media platforms, there is no information to harvest. So, this means that you have to think of other ways of harvesting information. Locate your customers and find out what they are doing and where. |

Hey Esmée, dan ben ik erg benieuwd naar die documentaire... Weet je welke dat was? De documentaire 'Bowling for Columbine' van Michael Moore schetst namelijk precies het tegenover gestelde beeld: door vrij gebruik van wapens in Amerika, zijn er meer schiet-incidenten en is er meer criminaliteit. |

Hoe ziet het social media landschap er uit over 10 jaar?
Blijkbaar is hier sprake van een paradox: platformen die niet koppelbaar zijn met andere platformen zullen niet overleven. Aan de andere kant willen deze platformen gebruikers voor zichzelf houden en alles eraan doen om te voorkomen dat ze overstappen naar een ander platform. |
Hoe is sociale media ontstaan, vanuit een technologische ontwikkeling of vanuit sociale ontwikkelingen?
Ik denk een combinatie: de behoefte om sociaal in contact te zijn met mensen en de technische mogelijkheden om dit te faciliteren. |
