Deception is a complex phenomenon and an incriminating cognitive process, which makes it interesting to study. This is why Anne, Kim, Desiree, Maayke, Evelien and I have interviewed Marc Swerts. Marc Swerts, who is professor at the University of Tilburg, has recently studied the deception by children. Adults are more aware of social aspects than children, and use non-verbal communication in a

Together with many other bloggers, I'm looking for ways to optimize the number of visitors on my blog. I have been posting for a few months now, and I therefore think I'm able to share some tips with you. I will reveal some of the tactics that I found to be helpful. - Choose topics that attract people and stay on that topic - Keep it short and to the point - Tag your posts - Think of an

Online datingsites are websites where people can present themselves in order to find a potential partner. If someone likes an other person on the website, they make contact online. If they continue to like each other, they might decide to organize an offline meeting. It is usually necessary to pay for membership, which makes these sites more reliable. No one will access the site just for fun. A

It was just waiting for the moment that Google integrates a social feature in Google Search. The moment is there. Google recently introduced the +1 (plus one) button in the search results. It is such a feature that when it's there you think: 'ofcourse, why haven't they thought of this sooner!' Relevant search results The +1 button represents things like "great website!" or "check this out",

Many people are planning their summer vacation at the moment. I've just booked my own vacation, but perhaps I can interest you with a new tool. Today, KLM launched an innovative application where you can search for a vacation using personal interests. With KLM Travlr you can use keywords that match your own interests such as shopping, diving or surfing. This makes it fun and easy to look for a

Last week, my parents tipped me about a television program of Labyrint (Nederland 2). This turned out to be an interesting topic for my new blog! The program was about the power of a crowd, and how this power is increasingly used on the internet nowadays. Cow experiment Labyrint has replicated an early experiment, by which a large group of people had to guess the weight of a cow. The expectation

Tablets urge the magazine business to be innovative. For a long time, it seemed as if people wanted to keep the experience of reading a printed magazine. This now seems to turn and tablets become more and more important in digital reading. The iPad 2 is recently launched in the United States and is becoming a new success story. The new iPad is faster, thinner and lighter and has extra cameras to

Everytime you make a phonecall, data is collected about you. The phone company keeps track of the duration and frequency of conversations. Perhaps you have GPS on your device and use Google Maps, thus your location can be traced. It is also possible that your internet usage is tracked. Companies can use this data to improve their products and to anticipate on the actions of their users.

The latest version of Blackboard was launched last week. I was curious what this change has done for us, students. When I Google the new Blackboard, it seems like most changes are for teachers. You can find a nice overview of all the changes on this website. Besides the improved visual interface, there are some improvements for students as well. So, let's review a short outline of the changes:

Hyves, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, you name it! Can you think of anyone who doesn't use it? Nowadays it's hard to find anyone who is not a member of a social networking site. Some people use only one type while other people are active on all sites. Some use it occasionally, others use it excessively. It seems to me that there are more and more excessive users of social networking sites. When

Explaining the title of my blog, this topic is an interesting case. Interactive billboards are the latest innovation to Pass IT On! ‘IT’ stands for ‘Information Technology’, and so I litteraly mean IT. By using IT, companies are able to spread word of their products or services in an innovative manner. These days, companies are searching for ways to attract consumers by using the newest
