@RobVesse Sounds like a great offer then :-) Congrats! (I’m in a special role here [100% of 20% time ;-)], but 20% time is a great concept.)

@RobVesse IMHO the good thing about academia: you may just try things out, no matter what. In industry, you have to make a revenue case 1st.

via Echofon in reply to RobVesse

@RobVesse Been there (out of academia). Kind of back now ;-) Both sides have pros & cons, believe me…

vambenepe @tomayac Possible interpretation: Belgians love Google+ because Circles allow Flemish and Walloons to better ignore one another. ;-)
