Who am I
SocialMediaDNA.org is an initiative of Arnout de Vries.
Arnout de Vries is a scientist and consultant in the field of social media and public safety at TNO. After studying industrial design engineering and innovation management, he already researched virtual communities at KPN Research (The largest Dutch Telco) before anyone had heard of it. From 2000 onwards, Arnout worked on mobile Internet innovations, the revolutionary developments of that time. In 2003, KPN Research moved to TNO. There he developed a broad vision of the role that IT plays in society. Along with brilliant?behavioral and organisational scientists and technicians Arnout puts his expert knowledge into practical applications. Or as he describes it himself: “online co-creation brings digital dialogue in the DNA of any organisation.”
In 2011 Arnout decided to launch a?new blog about?the impact of social media in law enforcement and criminal investigations: SocialMediaDNA.
