I need to do a lot of clean up work around all my projects. So, expect a series of quick posts which a meant to fill the gaps.
Here you will be able to find my slides from a quite cool event in Oslo. The topic is Web2.0 again. I know what you are thinking: But pdp, aren’t these the same topics over and over again? Well, the good thing of having a blog is that you release things hot from the oven. Therefore, you have to compensate somewhere else. [...]
If you haven’t noticed yet, a lot of the useless sections of this site have been removed. The microblogs are also gone since they were kind of redundant. Nevertheless, I still have the urge to post random thoughts that I would like to share. So I will keep this information within the blog which is probably the best place this type of information can be listed.

I see social networks that serve all kinds of purposes popping everywhere. Commercial, private, open, whatever, they all agglomerate people in a very, very rapidly. [...]
A huge part of what we do is to spot trends and have a look at them before it is too late. Today I would like to talk about Live Mesh, a technology you are probably not very familiar with but it is a brand new thing and it will hit the streets in the next couple of months. Therefore, it is a good candidate for abuse from attackers, bot masters and other friendly inhabitants of the Undernet.
The idea is very simple. [...]
After several month spent in research on Web2.0 Insecurities I’ve decided to sit down and write a whitepaper. The paper quickly became rather blurred due to enormous amount of notes I’ve collected on this subject. This is the reason why it was later restructured into stories, which provide a lot better medium for understanding the content.
The term Web2.0 appeared for the first time in 2003 at a conference organized by O’Reilly media. [...]
