About +David Amerland
I travel a lot. I surf the web even more. Over the last three years I've spent time in thirteen countries and three continents making airports and hotel rooms more of a constant, for me, than home. I also spend more hours, each day, online than most people would consider to be healthy. The one stability in all this is Google+ where I can be found, time allowing, on most days. It has become my anchor.
In my posts, interviews and podcasts I add pieces to the puzzle. I explain how each one fits in a bigger picture. How that bigger picture then makes sense.
Sensemaking changes everything.
Before I got here, I used to be a corporate rat who used to be a journalist, before I jumped ship into full-time writing, speaking and blogging. In my offline time I indulge a lifelong passion in martial arts, I run, hit the heavy bag and try to find the limits at which we can go without sleep and still function. I also visit as many museums and cafes as possible. Funnily enough I regard what can be found in both museums and cafes as brain food.
Fitness is important to me. It helps maintain a level of sanity that would otherwise require pharmaceuticals or expensive therapy. I pay some of what it has given me back by running a Fitness Community. I am also a moderator of Plus Your Business a community focused on helping business people get the most out of G+ and the semantic web.
Speaking of semantics, I am the owner of Google Semantic Search a community I started to explore the implications of semantic technology in daily life (and there are many).
Professionally I advise a handful of companies globally, blog for a number of websites, including Forbes,journalism.co.uk, and socialmediatoday and write for magazines and newspapers.
I give about 50 talks, speeches and presentations each year and hold an annual seminar on SEO and Social Media (details to which you will find on my website.). I advise a couple of global companies and a handful of startups on social media positioning and search strategies and I write for Forbes, 21CIT, Insights and a number of dead-tree newspapers.
Some of the Events I have been part of: SEO in the Sun (SEO & Introduction to Social Media) Manchester SES (SEO) Business Group Digital Conference (SEO & Social Media) Rutgers University mini-MBA (SEO and Social Media Crisis Management) Shanghai APAC executive SEO & Social Media Crisis Management training. MxDE Senior Executive Program, Zug (Piercing the Search Bubble).

Currently working on: Two new ideas. I could discuss both of them with you but then I'd have to track you down and kill you. :) (Be thankful that I am considerate and don't). If you made it this far you might be interested to know that now all of my writing is curated (without comment) at Prometheus. I no longer use RSS on my website and the G+ Page here gives me the opportunity to archive all my writing across the web. I have, however, created an RSS feed for it so you can keep track of everything I write here.
The best way to reach me is through Google+ or my website: davidamerland.com. Bragging rights I used to wear a suit.
