“Software as a hostage” is a good way to formulate what is wrong with SaaS as part of the tethered economy.

About


Blog Interdependent Thoughts maintained since 2002 by Ton Zijlstra.
European citizen in a networked world. Based in the Netherlands, living in Europe, working globally. There are no Others. There is just me and many of you.

I write about how our digital and networked world changes how we work, learn, decide and organize. I explore the tools and strategies that help us navigate the networked world. I am passionate about increasing people's ability to act (knowledge), and their ability to change (learning). Key-words: open data, open government, fablabs, making, complexity, networked agency, networked learning, ethics by design.

    • A Smart City Where You’re the Sensor Not the Sensed Cory Doctorow formulates something that I think can go onto every list of principles organisations I work with formulate for smart cities, as well as the many data ethics discussions I sit in on.

    • New Experiment: Working on Agency in a School Class In the coming weeks I will be working with a Dutch school class (group 7, so 10/11 yr olds), in collaboration with the Provincial Library Friesland and their FryskLab team (a mobile FabLab). Last summer I wrote a series of postings on how I see a path to significantly increase agency for various group in […]

    • Looking Back On 2010: Quite A Ride!

As a ‘knowledge worker’ the boundaries of work have become all but invisible, and over the course of a year I work on […]

I would like to go, but already have family obligations elsewhere. The conference is called Going Solo. The day focuses on what it actually takes to work as an independent, operating in a network […]

Because it seems to me there is a systemic weakness in the concept of GTD. This does not mean GTD is not bringing me benefits, on the contrary. It does limit its […]

    • Jack Yan, the Persuader Blog For a number of years now, I have been in contact with a group of branding experts that call themselves the Medinge Group. A very interesting, bright and warm group of people who are all passengers on the clue train, ever since it took up service. Since they look at brands containing value in human, […]
