You are a German man why do you blog in English and not in German?

I want to give advices for digital trends to all over the world. Additionally, I have got a lot of friends from abroad. But I know my English is not the best, because I«m not a teacher in this language. Anyway, it«s the message I want to deliver.


How did you get the name of your blog?

I want to focus on digital issues. And our life is more and more digital influenced. At the moment I«m involved in two projects about digital skills at school, using Blogs, wikis, podcasts, e-journals ... Please have a look at my own Search Engine about digital terms, called DigiSwicki http://digiswicki-swicki.eurekster.com/

Which category would you choose for your blog?

Mainly Web2.0 related Why did you start blogging and what do you want to achieve with this blog? I want to let people know about digital trends like Web2.0 applications or gadgets. What is your motivation to continue blogging? There is some good feedback from people all over the world. That helps to continue working What experience did you made with your blog(reactions from reader) and which where your acmes? Good contacts as to positive emails or links from other people.


What kind of people read your blog and who should read it?

People interested in Web2.0 or digital news. Where do you get your inspiration from to write? A lot of times I give my advices in courses at schools, teaching centres or even Universities abroad about new digital teaching methods. I recognized, that there is much to catch up on everything digital related. This is motivation enough. But each day I read a lot of other blog posts. Moreover I read some magazines like the German ãTomorrowÒ.


Which of your blog posts is the most valuable for your readers and why?

One of my posts in this blog is about ãWriteToMyBlogÒ. A very good possibility to publish the same article in several blogs immediately. Would you like to interview someone? Whom? I«m an Apple fan. Of course, Steve Jobs is one person I admire very much. If this interview could be read by millions of people, what would you want to tell them? Besides computering, think about an Italian slogan: Carpe Diem, that means ãenjoy the day and the momentÒ
