Sometimes I think the shift to Society 2.0 is driven by the wrong incentives. When I hold presentations for companies, the fact that they often pick up on is that people do things for “free”. Sometimes you can see it in their eyes – “oh! if the users to all the work we don’t have to pay! bring it on, web 2.0!”. You know what I mean; the whole (tiresome) UGC-discussion. I think this is […]
Two Swedish articles of note this weekend that I thought I should say something about. Commentary in English about articles in Swedish, hmm. Is it pointless as the readers that only understand English can’t read the original article? I hope not, but perhaps it is. Should I have two separate feeds perhaps or maybe just leave the Swedish stuff alone? Please give me some feedback on this. Anyway, article time: Svenska Dagbladet about Society 2.0. […]
I’m absolutely worn out after a long and inspiring day. For those of you that couldn’t be there: Onelinr-backchannel, Flickr photos, Podesk videos, a good text summary from Citizen Media Watch and podcasts from What’s Next. Thanks to everyone – today was a good example of both great speakers, great audience and a great organising team. And I was pleased about my new presentation as well, I hope there will be time to hold a […]
Tomorrow, Saturday, I will be talking at the Hej! 2007 conference in Stockholm (Other upcoming keynotes here!). The topic is “Old Media vs New Media”, and hopefully it will go okay. It’s a new presentation so I’m a bit nervous actually – the crowd feels a bit tougher than usual 🙂 Or more knowledgeable anyway. If you’re there, please come by and say hello. The list of registered guests is really impressive so I’m sure […]
Attention all Malmö-people: Please swing by Solde at 9 am tomorrow as it is Likemind, as usual. Free coffee from Anomaly and really nice people – like you. If you don’t live in Malmö but like the sound of it anyway, check out the list to find your nearest city. Unfortunately I won’t be there myself (I’m in Milan!), but Olof and Tomas will take care of you.
While we’re on the subject of funny stuff. 1,9 million+ views on YouTube. This guy is a genius.
Translation: Wasp sighted in Boden Kerstin Wiklund at Spanngränd in Boden was visited by a wasp on her terrace Saturday the 13th of April. This might be the funniest piece of news I have ever read. It took them four days to write it too!
Probably the most expected acquisition so far happened today, Allers has bought BlogSoft. No figures announced yet unfortunately. Allers are starting to get an increasing web presence this way, recently buying the portal Spray.se as well. It’s interesting to watch what different strategies the Swedish media groups are applying in order to to catch up with the new internet. Short summary: * Schibsted, with several in-house developed services, is the most successful when it comes […]
Morning presentation at MiM, originally uploaded by goodold. Don’t ask what I’m doing with my leg.
From the latest newspaper community-no-we’re-not-a-community-thing: Du har 20 MB utrymme till dina bilder, vilket motsvarar ungefär 200 bilder eller mer. Behöver du mer plats? Skicka ett betal-SMS (50 kr plus eventuell operatörsavgift) så får du ytterligare 20 MB. If you don’t understand Swedish, it says that you have to pay 50 SEK (?$7,3) to get 20 mb of storage for pictures. 50 SEK for 20 mb? Come on, this is 2007. It’s outrageous. tags technorati […]
