1. Cool Photo Manipulations by Christophe Huet

This is a cool set from Christophe Huet. I like photo manipulations in general due to the fact normal things and situations get turned around into something original and abnormal.

Last week I’ve read an interesting article (in dutch) about CEO’s and Social Media. The article was named “De Social CEO – eerder uitzondering dan regel”. This means that it’s more an exception than a rule when looking at CEO’s and their social media usage. They did research on the top 100 Dutch listed companies and compared that to the top 100 companies on the Fortune 500 list. Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn were the social tools they’ve used to measure social media usage.The results are pretty shocking, I’ve never would have thought of an outcome like this one.

1. Digital Art by Angel Rivera

A very skilled graphics artists, Angel Rivera did a stunning job on this cool set of graphical art for your inspiration.

Search engine optimization as we know it, is going to change in the next few years. Of course, the basic rules still apply and your content should still be king. But SEO is going to lean more and more towards social media in terms of attention. Especially when looking towards Google+.

Why social media?

People are discussing about every thinkable thing on social media. No brand is safe and no topics are avoided. And that’s a cool thing on its own! Discussion is possible anywhere, it doesn’t matter where you are…as long you’ve a connection to the Internet.

Social media can also work pretty good for your (company’s) image. On Facebook you can be liked a lot and on Google+ you get +1’s. These likes and pluses also work well on your content. If your content is good enough and relevant enough, people will like or +1 it. And that’s word of mouth!

Last weekend I had some spare time to go out together with my wife. We decided to take a trip to nature park “Hoge Veluwe”. This park features different scenery. It has sand, moorland, woods and water. Very versatile! The weather was also being a good pal. It was a sunny and warm autumn afternoon.

During the trip we took a lot of photos. Only 20 or so were good enough for my standards (amateur standards, but hey!). Together we edited them to get this astonishing end result! Check them out.
