  • About the user: In 2007 I finished my Master in International law. By the time I graduated my hobbies of writing and video editing had become a serious interest, which took form in posting video's online and working with blogsites for youths. After my study in law I had the opportunity to do a traineeship in Journalism, during which I worked a lot with writing and posting articles and video's online. Working on a special for a weekly magazine called Volkskrant Banen, in 2008, boosted my interest in new media. At this moment I work as a freelance filmmaker. My most interesting challenge is working on an interactive online Television program for which I travel from city to city in Europe to give bands a music video.

Bringing media back to space

Ramses Petronia | 22 October 2009, 6:28 pm | 3 comments | tags: , , ,

Every day our lives seem to require more and more ‘new media’ to keep up the pace. GPS on cellphones, possibility of instant communication either online or via phone, a wii to make sure we do some sports, and so on. We are often less aware of the space we travel through, or live in. At the same time this…

Does making money make a SNS unpopular?

Ramses Petronia | 08 October 2009, 10:35 pm | tags: , ,

My gut feeling tells me that Social Network Services (SNS) do not exist because they are so great. They always provide for a basic need they fulfill, which for me has been to start a group in which I could chat with classmates during one class period with both Hyves and Facebook a few years back, and Couchsurfing…

The Twitter Effect

For all those feeling nostalgic about the good old days in which search engines were not based on algorithms but actual people doing the work; your human side of the search engine is back.

On Lazytweet you can ask questions or search through a database that provides answers by other users through Twitter. Works terribly bad, and seems…

Swamp Football originates from Curaçao

Wikipedia can be considered prone to inconsistency due to many factors. One of these factors is that Wikipedia has a seperate Encyclopedia for each language.

That this inconsistency can exist in plain facts, is perhaps the most alarming.

An example is the comparison between the description of ‘’swamp football” in the English Wikipedia and its direct translation, “

Planet Google – Book Review

Ramses Petronia | 17 September 2009, 5:30 pm | tags: , ,

From the perspective of a professor of Business one can expect the focus on Google as a commercial company. With this book Randal Stross proves to have a deep insight in many facts, that mostly evolve around the ideology of Larry Page and Sergey Brin, who founded Google when they were students at…

How to ‘Blog’!?

Ramses Petronia | 15 September 2009, 12:48 am | tags: , , ,

For my first post here I did a little research on the ‘MofM way to blog’. And my general opinion is that a lot of posts are of interesting academic value, but at the same time often relatively dull. This last remark to my relief, because I often find it hard to be original. Still, all work and no play,…
