Read Martin´s thoughts on music and the internet. Well worth it. The first thing labels will have to do is skip the record prefix in their name and start calling themselves music labels. To be able to take the important full scale step from the physical world to the internet labels have to break a huge psychological barrier. The barrier of doing things in the way they’ve always been done. I believe that the future […]

The following post is written in a series for the Swedish online paper Aftonbladet.se about the future of media and journalism. The posts in English will continue as usual after this. Jag har blivit ombedd att vara del av Aftonbladets bloggpanel som den här veckan handlar om framtidens nyheter och mediekonsumtion. Det är ett kul ämne, och ett som jag bloggar om väldigt ofta. Men för att få någon slags form på det tänkte jag […]

At the end of last week we released the second part of our web project for the news magazine Fokus. It’s a wiki with the 100 most powerful people in Sweden, to begin with. Also, we built in Twingly functionality which aggregates what bloggers say about each person. Working with a small, but strong, brand like Fokus requires careful planning. Below I’ll share some thoughts on how we reasoned in choosing these specific projects. 1. […]

I’m in the audience of Media Evolution at the moment, and I’ll be holding a short keynote later on. If you’re here – please come up and say hello to me or my colleagues. This is what we look like. There’s a video of me here as well – and if you’re wondering: yes, the last part was intended as a joke. It didn’t really seem to get through well enough 😉 The same things […]

Google acquires Jaiku Jaiku is joining Google. While it’s too soon to comment on specific plans, we look forward to working with our new friends at Google over the coming months to expand in ways we hope you’ll find interesting and useful. Our engineers are excited to be working together and enthusiastic developers lead to great innovation. We look forward to accomplishing great things together. In order to focus on innovation instead of scaling, we […]

As I’ve been challenged by both Jocke and Sorosh regarding the title as most transparent CEO, I have to step my game up a bit. Apart from Jaiku and Dopplr, I’m planning to release my calendar (iCal) and my todos (Remember the Milk). Unfortunately the iCal-feed seems to contain everything I’ve ever written it in – and not just the upcoming events (is there a way of fixing this?). This means that I have to […]

I’m a guest lecturer at the University of Lund this week. The theme is online journalism, a subject that interests me a lot. Apart from the irony of me lecturing at the same institution that I once planned to attend, a lot of interesting thoughts have come up regarding journalism. Web TV for instance. I had to write it down. It seems some have misunderstood the whole point of TV, or moving images, on the […]

Tomorrow, Wednesday, I will be holding my first Pecha Kucha presentation in Gothenburg. The topic is Jetset for all and is loosely based on this blog entry that I wrote a few weeks ago. If you’re around, please come by! It’s free! 19.30 at Nefertiti is the place to be.
