If you smell…what WWE is rocking. Social Media role model.
A post about Social Media & WWE. Two of the things I like very much. Already love it. For those of you who do not know the WWE: WWE stands for World Wrestling Entertainment and it’s basically a good choreographed, action packed, ‘super athletes compete in fake beatings’. To make it short: It’s a big...

While you’re all going crazy about (wooohooo, a picture sharing platform!) I happend to come across loudlee. Loudlee is a ‘social music network‘ that lets you add songs and artists to your library and follow people (like on pinterest :P) you like. So what’s new with that you might ask by now. And that’s a...
Teaching Diary: English Communication Scavenger Hunt
Once more a hands on post about something I tried in class this term. The first time ever that somebody over here tried to pull an ‘interactive’ game off so it wasn’t that easy to get the people involved but in the end it worked out. Not perfectly, but still funny and with the desired...
Social Media & Education: Twitter for Teaching
After already talking about the biggest of all social networks, facebook, and its potential for teaching purposes and the article on how to use a self hosted website for educational matters, it is now time to focus on another big player in the social media hemisphere.

Social Media & Education: Brief guide to jump-start your social media efforts

Social Media & Education: Using Facebook for Teaching
Social Media is definitely a huge field with numerous possibilities to interact or getting started. However facebook somehow simply is the one network which is widely known as ‘the social network’ or even ‘the internet’. So it seemed quite reasonable for me to start my series ‘Using Social Media for Education‘ with facebook as first...
The new youtube
Apparently youtube is testing a new layout of it’s website. And this time it’s not only a minor twist, it’s an actual change! I’ve noticed this on quite some profiles. However I still have some profiles where I still see the old layout. I have to say that I am quite happy with the change...
Google rolls out Google+ Pages
Beginning today Google announced to roll out Google+ Pages for businesses. You can brand your site, upload pictures, videos, share, connect, etc….everything you’re used to from this other social network. So check out the intro video. I think there’s not much more to say.

Ctrl+C & Ctrl+V | Social Network competition
During the last few days facebook rolled out some new features, adjustments and improvements or whatever they want to call it. For te ease of use lets just call it googleplusthings. Wait!

Send a student to school – vittana
There are trendy and hip startups, there are startups that simply make sense and then there are a bunch of crappy startups or copy cats (heello and others). Once in a while you come across a startup that simply lets you say ‘yes, that’s great’. That just happened the other day when I came across...
What do you love? – Google shows heart
A night quickie for the weekend (pretty late already over here in Thailand): Google just launched a new and fun search service: What do you love? It is not totally perfect (as you will see in the short video) but quite a nice idea though. Give it a try and spread the love! After entering...
Google Plus is not Facebook!
Actually I stopped blogging about recent hypes and stuff that is cool just at the very moment since I think there are many platforms out there that cover all the new fancy things, there is no need for my humble little opinion (or to say it like a friend of mine “there are enough smart...
