This is my weblog and I am Gyurka. Despite my Hungarian first name, I’m born and raised in the Netherlands and indeed, still living there as well. (In the city of Rotterdam, if you’d like to know.)
I studied Sociology at the Erasmus university in Rotterdam and I currently work as a “User Experience Specialist” for a sample provider in the Market Research industry. Writing and talking about about Social Media, Online Communities and Internet in general is part of my freelance work. This concerns online technologies, social structures, ”web 2.0′ (or rather; what web 2.0 is not) and their characteristics in particular.
I do consulting work on how (online) communities evolve and interact with their environment.
Besides all these activities I have an interest in writing, drawing and painting as well as (metal) music and it’s culture. I’ve written articles for several, mostly “fun” orientated, weblogs in the past and was once described by a Dutch Computer magazine as a “hardcore commenter”. Needless to say you can find me surfing the internet quite often and my Sociology and Computer Science studies drive me to have a keen interest in anything that some of you would like to call “Web 2.0″.
Currently I’m a blogger for the Dutch marketing weblog “bijgespijkerd“, where I try to keep the Dutch marketeers up to date about any new and interesting “social” or research related online developments. I’m also tinkering on and writing for the new “opinionated blog” deJaap, that has been launched in October 2009. On Sunday-nights I have a radio column about internet on Dutch national radio channel 1 for PowNed in the radioshow ‘Echte Jannen’.
So basically I just like a lot of stuff and I’m interested in a lot of things that are going on in the world. (or beyond..) Like to know more about what I like and do, besides the articles and links on this page? Ask me on Twitter .
It’s important to note that the content of this website is strictly my personal view and does not necessarily represent the opinion of the company I work for, or any company I ever worked for, for that matter.

Dear Guyrka,
I am a student from the Hogeschool Utrecht, soon to be graduating. For my final assignment I have written an article which has to be published on a blog, so that people will comment on it. I am interested in online marketing and social media and my article is about the Advertising on Twitter, the recently introduced Promoted Tweets. I believe this article will be interesting for the readers of your blog. If you are interested, send me an email and I will email it to you. I have a deadline to get the article posted so I hope you will see this message soon enough and be able to respond promptly.
Kind regards,
Silvia
