Art2blog is going on holidays for 1 week to Bodrum. We’ll be back on October 4th. In mean time don’t stop reading our favourite colleagues. If you still have some holidays planned, check out Fasten Seatbelts where you can find the “Do’s and Don’ts” of the country you’re visiting.

We will certainly remember that:

• In Turkey, it is rude to show the sole of your shoe.
• In Turkey, the “OK” sign is very rude.
• In Turkey, in crowded busses (Dolmus), the way to pay for your ticket is to pass the money from passenger to passenger towards the bus driver.
• In various countries, you may be asked to remove your shoes before entering a home.

The last few days it has been quiet…well…now you know why. I moved our blog to my own hosting.http://www.art2blog.be is the place to be now…I’ll make some more changes the coming days on the design but all credits go to Design Disease which created this great 3 column wordpress theme. Furthermore you don’t have to change your rss feed address, that stayed the same (http://feeds.feedburner.com/art2blog)!

Hope you enjoy…

Received several mails from contacts to join their social network on the Quechup site. Ignore these! Don’t know what the final plan is, but once you register the engine behind the site proposes to import online contacts from your webmail account like Hotmail, Gmail, … once imported all these get a mail from you inviting to join Quechup again. Pure spam with hopefully no other harmful intentions (viruses?) behind.

In a previous post I already blogged about Nokia-tivity. This time they really live up to their tagline “Connecting people”!

2 weeks ago Nokia launched a blog supporting their NSeries called NSights. On the blog some gurus, early adopters, known faces, experts, influencers … share their view on the impact of modern technologies on day-to-day life. Of course bloggers can share their opinion and feed the conversation …

There are different themes for which a video appears online where the experts share their opinion on the impact of new technologies on the related theme. Internet and Music are already online. Subscribe to the RSS to know when the saga continues.

Join the conversation signed Nokia & These Days.
