Links Below Sea Level Needed

| | Comments (1)

In case you didn't know; I am Dutch. If you would have heard me speak you probably would have guessed that tidbit of useless information. In the past months I have received a number of criticizing comments that I am not keeping up with the all the developments in the Netherlands in terms of computing and ecommerce. To be honest I have very little insight into how the Dutch IT world has developed, given that I left the Netherlands almost 15 years ago. A lot has happened since.

Some of my Dutch contacts have now started to convince me that it would be interesting to follow some of the more recent developments. I am looking for a few good Dutch feeds that would allow me to track what is going on in IT and ecommerce in the Netherlands. I had been given 3 links to bootstrap: webwereld.nl, vnunet.nl and emerce.nl. Some of these seem to be mainly international news translated into Dutch, so I am looking for some more links to really good Dutch feeds.

Although http://www.computable.nl/ covers mainly foreign news (I think that the market for just Dutch IT news is a bit too small) on their website, the paper version mainly brings national news (when I would guess, I'd say that more than 50% is Dutch news).

The stupid thing is that a subscription to the electronic version costs 35 euro/year, and the subscription for the paper one is free (for IT professionals), but I would be very surprised when they'd ship it for free to the US :)
