Pretty much all the things most youngsters hate.



The most talented people I know just do stuff they like.

This is my BlackBerry.


AndIt’sAlwaysOn.


This is my BlackBerry.

No. Not an iPhone.


I use it to keep in touch with 3000 twitter followers ...


... and select themost interesting

content that day,selected by

my peers.





(THAT WAS A JOKE. I HATE SOCIAL MEDIA EXPERTS.)



Besides my Blackberry,I could work on my laptop.



Or, for that matter. On your laptop.



I store all my data online.



My Boondoggle files.



My favorite links.



My presentations.



My network.



But, really, it’s not about technology. Technology is not leading, ideas and personal connections are.Technology is just an enabler.



I organize a bi-monthly drink for talented online-minded youngsters in Amsterdam, Antwerp, Brussels, Ghent and London.

And I met my girlfriend there.


By the way: I usually have never seen the people I organize the event with. We collaborate via twitter, email or skype.



Oh, and I don’t even know some of them by their real name … @nalden @ort @orsii …

But, even more important. A minor shift in skills/thoughts with huge consequences.A strong belief in some basic principles.



The power of technology as a steroid.



The power of smart ideas.



The power of reputation.



The importance of service and product over communication.



Stuff worth talking, sharing and loving.



Extremely fast access to the right ideas and right people.
