Facebook will soon introduce the new timeline experience on your profile. We can already test it, if you log in as developer.
It is quite amazing how your activities start creating some sort of diary. Oh shit, so much happened lately. No idea you could do so much in just a couple of months. That is the feeling you get after changing your profile to the timeline settings.
Wanna try too? Check it out here.

Damn, nobody reacts to my posts. And all my foreign friends are totally neglecting me. I am now taking a lot of tranquillizers to keep calm.
Ever since I changed to the new Facebook profile, I just see the same old people reacting. My circles has gone smaller and the international interaction is all gone. How is that possible?
We just discovered that with installing your new Facebook profile setup, your settings also change. It changes so that only the people you interacted with recently will see you on their wall. The others are filtered out, and you are being filtered out to them. Or something to that extent. To solve this and to get more interaction again, read this and see how to change your settings. It is worth it, we all want more friends and more fun. The more the merrier or something.

no more prima donna
We need teams. We do not need one star and the others are just filling. That goes for soccer, for companies and for friends.
To win you need to play as a team, where all qualities are bound, and the weaknesses are made up for. And if you are lucky you have a coach who is submissive to the collective mission. Then you do not want a Ma(ra)donna who is another guy to steal the show and outshines the joint effort.

Are you looking for a tool improving your work on websites? You’ve just found it. A Bounce is a new online tool allowing you to comment any website (simply by grabbing a screenshot from attached link) and share ideas with friends.
The tool is realy intuitive and has nothing you can complain on. You can simply make notes by clicking anywhere on your screenshot and write a feedback in an overlay of site. You can tweet and share feedback with your friends.
It’s easy tool to build community around your brand but it’s not good enough to make money and reinforce your business model. But anyway it’s a really good start and maybe further versions will be covering business model as well - e.g. by integrating it with management’s tools as Basecamp.
Try it now without any sign up - http://www.bounceapp.com

We want more
Today I played with Holland’s 6th iPad, according to Boris VVZ. It was interesting, but the wireless connection was not working.
Because this way of working with internet, books, videos and last but not least games, read this story. It is a great analysis, that brings you up to speed.
