We don’t need social media
I finished yesterday reading the book “The logic of life” from Tim Harford (the author from the Undercover Economist) and while not explicitly touching the topic of social media, he does pose some very interesting points about the dynamics of cities, which brings me to this blog post.

Are user stories an alternative to (smart) use cases?
About a week ago, someone (from the UK) send me an email with the following question: I like your article on Smart Use Cases. Before I throw my hat in the ring on this, could you tell me your feelings on User Stories as an alternative to Use Cases? To be quite honest, I’m not much in favor of using user stories.

The causal effect of being lazy: Innovation
In the last week, I and fellow blogger, Mark Nankman had some discussions around a few topics, where we ended up with a series of statements which started with “The causal effect of…” and immediately we thought it would be a brilliant idea to convert them into a series of blog posts expressing our thoughts around them. Mark kick-started this series with his post The causal effect of being cool: gullible consumers and here I …
