Regarding what I wrote earlier, this is the sort of thing I was talking about. Plugins to browsers are an excellent way to go. As our web browsers more and more become carriers of both commerce and applications, a way to simplify the choices that you make within them – from whatever perspective you may prefer – will become big business. Shorten the time spent to make concious decisions and you’re on to something. tags […]
Tonight I’ll be discussing how the youth of today will affect the workplace of tomorrow. You get the picture. The debate is hosted by SNS and starts 18.00 at Malmö Högskola. Swing by if you want to have a chat about that, or anything else for that matter.
The latest buzz in amongst the Swedish internet enthusiasts is the Read/Write Web lists of national web apps. There have been a few complaints (here and here for instance) about Sweden being a disgrace as we apparently haven’t thought of enough stuff ourselves. Apart from that not being true, it also raises the issue of cloning vs innovation. In my opinion, the critical point is the execution of the idea – not the idea itself. […]
Just a few newsworthy links from the blogs I went through today. Not all new, but still worth a look. Revenue sharing entering the video market for real – it’s been there before, but this seems a bit more serious. Another brand in Second Life – Nissan this time. But everytime it happens the site gains in credibility. Newspapers are doing badly as usual – apart from The Financial Times. Vox launches for all of […]
I know there are a million other examples of this, but it’s always more fun when it happens to you personally. Yesterday, Rolling Stone magazine used Discobelle.net (a blog that I contribute to) as the source for their piece of news.

Just a short note: tomorrow (tuesday) Fredrik and I will be holding a lecture for the journalist students at JMG in Gothenburg. If you’re attending and thinking of taking the afternoon off – think again 😉 We’re going to talk about social media and how journalism comes in to play in this new media climate. And if you can’t be there, I recommend that you try to catch the movie Babel instead. It has nothing […]
During my brief stay in London a few weeks ago, one of the sites I noticed was CarbonNeutral.com. It got me thinking, and it woke the slumbering environmentalist inside of me at the same time. My new plan is to make my company, Good Old, carbon neutral as soon as possible. I’ve signed up for a first meeting on how to do it as well, I’ll keep you posted along the way. Apart from being […]
New Media Days, day 2. I think the entire DR (Danish Radio and Television) is here, a lot of Danish people in general, but hardly any Swedes? Look at this list of participants to get a feel for it. So much for Øresund. The general feel of yesterday was that it was good, but not spectacular. Presentations are a good way of getting a general feel for something quickly, but in all honesty nothing that […]
Chris Kimber and Ayesha Mohideen held a great presentation about the concept “My BBC Radio”. They took up a lot of ideas, although most of them didn’t seem to have been done yet. So don’t use the points below as an example of the BBC being great (there are other arguments that proves that). I made a few notes that I thought I’d share with you. A bit chopped up I’m afraid, but it will […]
Cliff Webb from Narrowstep held an interesting presentation. Narrowstep does IP-TV, or rather “TV over the internet” as they chose to call it. Apparently clients and customers tend do go for the more descriptive than technological approach. According to Webb, enabling a complete freedom of choice is the most important factor for the success on IP-TV. The second factor for success was engaging niche communites. As more and more people are part of a community […]
